    Also, anybody have any ideas about fixing issues with gas mileage? I’ve got 144k on the clock and I’m averaging like 280 to a tank… even with the stock wheels and tires. And that’s half city half highway. Thoughts?

    That was my exact sentiment with a lift, go small or go home. I did a 1” front 1.5” rear lift. 5100’s with OME 883’s in front and a wheelers off-road AAL (removed overload leaf). To me it’s perfect.

    That actually sounds pretty normal for mixed driving. I can only muster like 320-330 to a tank on long highway road trips.

    If you are looking at retros, you need to be looking at actual OEM grade components. D2S RX350 for example. If you are looking at some chinese garbage like Morimoto mini H1s, it won't stack up to the halogen headlight upgrade and will have inferior optics with lack of uplight preventing any distance vision causing the lights to actually be a downgrade over stock, despite higher output.

    Hey guys, selling my lift. Hit a rough patch and need the money…

    Bilstein 6112 up front, full strut assembled. 5160’s in the rear and icon AAL. Throw me a price. All brand new and never installed.

    Greetings! Done a few mods recently...

    Added the prinsu rack, a bakflip g2 tonneau, a pioneer DMH-WT3800NEX and built my own bed storage system...

    How do you like the head unit? I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on one.
