    A6DE8DF1-0FD1-4466-B1FD-174569378BD6.jpg Hello everyone,

    Thought I would go ahead and join the forum being I just purchased an ‘18 DC TRD OR LWB with way too many options! Been creeping on here for months and see a lot of good information, so much it’s almost hard to sort through it all for a beginner.

    Look forward to chatting with everyone and getting my new truck set up. I see a lot of conversations and opinions on the 3” lifts so I’ll be reaching out to some of you in the next few days.

    Arkansas... Been wearing a US Army uniform for almost 32 years and my passion, well it’s really an addiction, is turkey hunting! Hope to get this new rig setup to where me and the wife can do come backcountry truck camping/exploring.

    Nice thing about your truck is that it's new. Everything should come apart easy.
