    Thanks Aaron. I don't have any wheel vibes, they got them balanced real well. There's just a lot weights. Could be the DuraTracs as well that dictated them. Also I'm glad that I didn't need hub centric rings. Those ET lugs really help in wheel centering.

    A slew of pricey stuff my wife hates me for.
    I really like the gorilla lugs with my pro-comps, a few extra threads engaged makes me warm and fuzzy. I don't like how quickly the wheels get torn up on rocks... They just aren't pretty anymore, and are doomed to get wrapped in a trail tire and get beaten to death.

    Overall that's a great look for a Taco, especially an MGM.

    They did well on Monday when I was driving around in the woods. I think I did rub once - just a little. I probably need to do some trimming; but I'm feeling lazy right now. Moving them forward took care of most of it though.

    Hey Arty,

    I want to do your backup light mod to my 2014. How's it holding up for you since last month? No issues with overheating wiring or housing or popping fuses, I'm hoping?

    I'm guessing that slight increase in amperage is well within the circuit limits.

    Fantastic work on your truck, BTW. You can tell it's a work of passion.

    Thanks.
    Randy

    Thanks Randy. The lights are working out great. No issues with them; and has made a big difference for me. I parallel park in front of my house at 4 in the morning. Helps me see where the curb is.

    Did the backup light mod tonight but everyone was in bed when I finished so I'll have to test them tomorrow. Wasn't comfortable putting it in reverse, then running around back to take a look at them. :eek: :laughing:

    Thanks for the help.

    Nice! I didn't start my engine - just turned the key and put in reverse with the parking brake on (I'm parked on the flat).

    Nice Truck!

    Did you do the Cab Mount Chop to fit those 285's. I'm running the billies with 5100s and the front set to the highest with a inch top spacer with 285 terra grapplers. No rubbing issues at all but rides like crap. I want to install LR UCA and get rid of the top spacer. Will I be rubbing like crazy without the CMC?

    Thanks,

    Thanks. It's a slow go.

    It really depends on your wheels. Mine are 8" wide, 0 offset, 4.5" BS.

    I have LR UCAs and ball joints moved forward. I moved wheel center forward more than an inch; yet still get good caster adjustments.

    At full stuff, I'm very close; but no CMC necessary.

    Are you lifted more than 3" right now?

    Thanks, yeah I'm right at 3 in the front, but I want to get rid of my top spacer, so It will bring it down.

    I would install the LRs before removing the top spacer. You still might need a CMC, which isn't a big deal.

    Got my canopy today! Removable front slider window, Thule rack, and electric door lock tied into the truck locks. And of course I deBadged it. It’s a Leer 100XR.
