    35s! 315/70-17 on 17x8.5 SCS with 4.3 Backspacing. (Currently hits the Kenitik UCAs if I don't run spacers)
    upload_2022-9-26_8-16-10.jpg

    But they hit the UCA:
    upload_2022-9-26_8-17-56.jpg

    I temporarily added 1in spacers causing the tires to rub the back of the well.
    upload_2022-9-26_8-19-30.jpg

    Currently waiting for new non-billet UCA's that will hopefully clear without needing to switch out wheels.

    Flush mounted the Pioneer DMH-6600NEX 9in head unit. There is no kit to do this so I had to take the 5500 8in kit, cut/sand/file it as well as cut out some of the bezel plastic behind the screen. I had to lower the radio placement slightly (about 1/8in)
    I also added it iDatalink Maestro so I can now see my tire pressures, instead of just a TPMS light.

    I got in on the holiday buy for the BYND 4x4 cap. I went into it with full knowledge that it's a Chinese cap that I could buy direct for less but I was hoping that BYND having a US entity would help with any warranty issues. It took a few months to actually get the cap and when I did, it was about an inch too long :eek:. I contacted BYND fully expecting to get ghosted, but to his credit, he got right back to me and offered to give me a full refund and take the cap back. Instead I decided to keep the cap and fix it myself for a discount that I was happy with. I took it as sort of a personal challenge and knew I could do it. I ended up "channeling" 1" out of the front section, re-welded it, and painted it.

    The cap stuck out and was too close to the cab.
    upload_2024-3-28_7-21-3.png

    I realized I could cut an inch out of this section to make it fit
