Army Green thread: let’s keep it green!

Highly recommend. Much cheaper route and looks sooo good. $800 out the door from purchasing 5 on eBay and getting them powder coated. I am currently figuring out how to resolve UCA rubbing at full turn. It really hasn’t been an issue if you aren’t driving it like a race car on your turns. I haven’t solved it yet, but have been advised against spacers.

any recommendations from anyone would be great!

 

What setting do you have on your 6112's? I've been looking at this option and going to 285's. Your truck is awesome BTW.

 

Thank you! I had them set to #11 & #9. Which was the maximum setting. That is how they came and is what I was looking for, for max clearance. Only thing I had to do to the fender wall was cut a small plastic edge from the fender flare. Took 3 minutes. What have you been researching?

P.S. Based on your name, are you from the Central Coast California?

 

Thanks for the info, much appreciated! I currently have Fox 2.0's (minimal lift) and 265/75 16's on 16x8 zero offset wheels. I've been looking at doing the 6112 for the front and 5160's for the rear. I'll probably do the Icon 3-leaf progressive add a leaf in the rear with a u-bolt flip kit. Oh and Dirt King upper control arms.

No, unfortunately not. I'm in Virginia.

 

Can’t go wrong with bilsteins IMO. Figured the name sounded familiar to something local.

 

How's the ride at 11 and 9? I'm looking forward to getting things changed over, but it's probably going to be awhile. Haha.

 

It’s honestly great! I’m coming from stock though. With the weight of the tent on the back, you can’t even feel it compared to before. We did some light off-roading with water crossings and it was just soo much better. Again I’m coming from stock wheels and suspension. The true test is in July. Hitting up Death Valley for an annual trip. Just trying to figure out the UCA rub which isn’t terrible like I said earlier, and squeaky leafs on the passenger side. Might unplug and plug back in to see if that helps.

 

Black to bronze

 

Looks great with the bronze wheels! Are those D6 dominator side steps? They look just like what i have on my truck.

 

Yeah, I have em on my truck too. I like em

 

Yeah they are. I just removed the chrome logo from the center because I thought it was a cleaner look.

 

Been awhile since I’ve posted here. Last weekend I had a few friends over and we installed my new BAMF Hybrid Bumper. The installation wasn’t hard maybe 30-40 minutes but the prep work the day before was a few hours. I ended up not cutting my stock bumper and used cap’s from R4T. I wanted color matched but they were out of stock. Got an email notification while I was installing them that the color matched ones were now in stock. I’m going to get them wrapped locally if I decide I don’t like it.
A few weeks ago I bought my first compound bow. Wasn’t looking for one in Army Green but it just worked out that way.
I know I need bigger tires. Eventually

 

Black caps look fine to me. Ya got enough black elsewhere on the truck that it works

She’s coming along.

 

Looking good! What size tires and lift are you running?

 

285/75/16 Nitto ridge grapplers 21/2 spacers up front. blocks in the back for now till I decide on a suspension lift

 

@G8tor very nice wheel and tire package. Way more rugged looking tire then factory. Very clean.

 

Thanks love the way they look

 

Just installed Icon Stage 4 suspension. Driveway makes it seem more angled, but there is 1"of rake.

There is about 100lbs in the back that I carry at all times, and which is in this picture. I load it up on the bed rack and roof rack when I go camping, and havent had a chance to do so yet. Before the kit when I was loaded down I was sitting pretty much level. No rooftop tent. I expect the same with this setup. Based on research I thought I would need a new leaf pack, but the add a leaf has been fine.

Tires are BF Goodrich KO2's 265/75/16. They are load E. I've heard Icon runs stiff, but I went with it for the digressive shock aspect. In my limited experience with it so far I would consider it "firm", but not harsh at low speeds. My tires don't help in that regard. Handling is superb. Definite improvement over stock.
