Thank god I like working on it

Resprayed my front and rear bumper.

Got some minor runs from the rattle can. Thinking putting some bed liner over the top will look good.

Hope this helps as it helped me adjust my wonky fitment for my 2005.

im going to be taking it off and getting it wrapped silver around the edge and keeping center grill section black. The all black just looks funky on my silver to me.

 

Hey those are the older style bj's on those SPC's. The newest style bj that was released June 2024 seems to be having no issues compared to the old one. I replaced mine last August. Its part #35101. There are still a lot of SPC arms with the older BJ's being sold. There's a lot of people that haven't had issues but so many failures that I think that older style should be taken off the shelf.

 

I’ve had mine 7 years…got my moneys worth lol

 

That's awesome!

 

The DURATRACS look a little sad compared to the YOKOHAMA’s.

 

Replaced the slider on the rear window I busted out because the keys were locked in the cab.



$120 for the window. I don't have a shop vac here and it took forever to clean up the broken glass. I busted the window with a pocket knife. I have a camper shell so a little less worry, but not too secure.

Fixed the random auto locks by hiding a valet key to prevent this from happening again.

 

If your looking to replace, I'd suggest Ark splash guards. About the same price but have held up for me for the last few years just fine.

 

Location is a big part of this, some plastics just don’t stand up well in the cold

 

Replaced RF wheel bearing with all the seals.
Installed new front dust shields.
Installed new front cv shaft and going to rebuild the oem ones.
Cleaned maf.
Replaced rear leaf springs- 3 gen leaf springs low km and installed the icon aal 1.5”
Installed energy shackle bushing and for the leaf springs. Got rid of the worn leaf spring- broke another leaf wheeling last weekend and had enough. Tried to clean my truck got to lazy and hot. I finished work early today.
Tomorrow going to install the 3rd gen door seals and updated front door seals . the cross wind noise is driving me nuts.

 

don’t know if it would’ve been possible.
But tow truck drivers and fire trucks carry break in kit. Maybe more.

idk about magnetic holders. Unless bolted in. But one place made(makes?) a locking bed cubby door. Digit combo lock.
So that can hold a spare key. Assuming the bed is accessible.

 

Will install this weekend. Going to be 100° tomorrow here in NC. Should be fun.
Doug thorley website was offering FedEx overnight shipping for free, these things were in Arizona this time yesterday lol

 

Duratracs weigh WAAYYYYYYY less than the yokos. You'll feel it.

 

8.1lbs difference, one of the lightest 35x12.5 in MT.

A huge thanks to @JdMeF9SiR2 for sending me these wheels!

 

So nice! Good luck with the install, let us know how they sound.

 

Lockbox with extra key 24/7

 

plug and play steering wheel? Love the three spoke.
