    No CMC or trimming just had to remove the front mud flaps. I'm not sure about the alignment, but i believe the icon UCA helped with that.

    Questions. Where did you get your suspension set up? What setting on the bilstein/coils are you using? Would u change anything?

    Seriously considering this

    @derf77 We are going to have twin wheels. I ordered the Method NV’s on Thursday and the version #3 TRD center caps. Makes the wheels look even better!

    Nope! Sticking with the Cooper STT Pro’s. I’ll never put another set of Nitto’s on any of my trucks. :);)

    I feel ya, my wife threw a fit when I bought a truck that the 1st owner spent $20k on it and the sold it to me at a $15k loss. Then I sold a bunch of stuff off it and I wanted to drop another $5500 just to get started. She just didn't understand, that a man and his truck is a beautiful thing! I had to back off face an undetermined period of extreme loneliness! I opted to keep her happy cause I can't deal without weekly loneliness relief therapy! If you know what I mean!

    My wife is on her 3rd ring, she keeps getting me to give her upgrades, then I get the happy dance known as the mattress mambo for a few days! She asked for an upgrade the other day that was more than I put down on our house, said no F'n way, been lonely for a week or so and still only got new bushwhackers and ditch lights. HOPING SHE COMES TO HER SENSES SOON!

    I am playing a different hand. My wife keeps bringing home maps of areas she thinks there are trails and she says go out and have fun. I tell her I can't because I need to fix a couple of things and need some new stuff. She says oh! But I figure I stay home enough she will just have and tell me to by what I need and gtfo!:laugh:

    Nice, I am trying to train my wife to love my truck, I am making progress. I saw a NW overland post for a meet up in Washington close to my birthday and she was encouraging me to plan it out. Sometimes I can close the deal quickly and sometimes I have to chip away at it, build value and then go for the close!

    Yeah, I don't know how some of these guys do. I make a pretty decent living or so I thought, then come here and see guys with $10K+ in just suspension and wheels/tires alone. I'm all for modifying a truck but there is a limit to how much I'm going to put into a depreciating asset.

    That's actually really weird...I was just looking at the Cooper STT Pros today! I think I'm gonna try them for my next tire. They look awesome! Let me know how they work out.
