    He probably bought the "revised" lights. They are better for compliancy but have even worse output now

    OME medium duty leaf pack and bilsteins installed in the rear! liking the look but have a little bit of take of shudder coming from the back...I did install the diff drop..has anyone experienced this...I heard it was fairly common and im hoping it becomes less with the RTT weigh on there...


    also shoutout to MIDLAND Radio. I have run GMRS for some years now and have never had any issues with them...bought the 115mx for this truck and noticed the antenna base cracking...messaged them about it and received a much nicer antenna within a week! love that!!

    I made my decision on which fogs to get so havent followed that thread closely since, but still scan the new posts. I believe they are still not compliant after the "fix" of plastic inserts. Maybe I'm wrong.

    Installed the front end 5100s from @HeadStrong Off-Road then went for a test flight! Two hours wheels off to wheels on, doesn’t get any easier!

    a mix between the instructions on their website and @boogie3478 's youtube video. was pretty easy to do just time consuming.

    The storms finally ended, giving me a chance to wash my truck after the new wheels were installed.

    Steal away! As of now I’m planning on the toyo open country R/T 285/75-R16

    The current tires on it are Nitto Grapplers 265/70-R16

    Any feelings on 255s? I’m thinking of going that route instead of 285s.

    Crazy question. I have a 2014 Sport 4x4. The radio now cuts out and display completely gone, then comes back up in less than 2 minutes. This
    now happens at least once in my 25 minute drive to work, both ways. Several weeks ago the radio going out was about once a week. Now
    much more frequent.

    What do you suggest? How difficult is the fix?

    Thank you!

    I think 255s are a great size that look good, I just really like the Toyo RTs which is very limited sizing for 16s.
