    Bought a super expensive sticker, dude felt bad so threw in a free OTT tune! Just mild/med, but it’s made a world of difference in drivability! 10/10 recommended!

    Added a decked drawer system

    Maybe a cab mount relocation. I want to get 33s on there with the least amount of lift possible.

    I don’t know if it’s the way it was aligned, but the wheels seem really far back in the wheel well and it would not clear now. Even if I cranked the front coilovers, it would probably still rub when stuffed.

    Nice! Not sure if you’re interested in advice and only offfering it since it “seems” you’re new to TW, welcome by the way! If the advice is unwanted, let me know I’m happy to delete it :fistbump:

    Depending on the wheels and backspacing, you can get 255/85/16s or 255/80/17s with no cmc and minimum trimming. There are some threads here about it. That’s if you don’t mind skinny tires. If the last alignment was to OEM specs, they’ll be far to the rear. Do you have an aftermarket UCA?

    To fit the stuffed issue, it’s more of a pinch weld beat and bump stops.

    New or not- I'm always open to and appreciate advice.. so thank you.

    I do need to dig in to whats behind the plastic liners and what can be trimmed/ beaten down for clearance, BUT I do know the second set of tires I have, 285/70/17s I have rub on the cab mount (in addition to the plastic). I kinda jumped the gun buying that set, so having to get another set of pizza cutters is kinda low on the option list right now.. but it definitely still is an option.

    My stock tires only have 12k miles, so I may wait a bit...

    I see, good idea. Next time you’re ready for the bigger tires, getting an alignment from a reputable shop will help the front and rear clearance issues a lot. Maybe you won’t need a cmc.

    Added the illuminated Pro shift know with the meso buttons.
    The left button now controls the ECT. Still trying to figure out what to hook into the right side.

    Anytime 400w with an additional outlet inside the truck- need to find a good spot for it.

    Tested out the factory skid plate with some solid hits on a couple of rocks that jumped out into the middle of the trail- good thing I have a beefier skid on order!
