Oh shoot, I should add that to the directions... Its much easier to do if you reach up from underneath by the wheel well. It's pretty easy to tighten the bolt from down there as well.

Yeah I thought about doing that but I was able to find the hole on my first or second attempt ...

Yesterday I picked up a TRD Sport hood that a fella had laying out in his yard for a year. Paid $50. Good find from my local yardsale FB group. I never really wanted to get one, but for $50?! Just need to get the scoop itself (another $100 or so), clean it up a bit, and I'm ready to join the fake scoop life.

I plan to get a small light bar to mount inside of it. I know people have gotten a lot of hate, both for the scoops and putting lights in them, but I really dgaf. This is gonna be my first mod, outside of taking off mudflaps, lol.

Damn I'm jealous, I want a scoop so bad!

Raptor lights installed. Detailed the truck and washed off all the dirt from this weekend.

I want one, as well. I think they look great.

FletchLax · Jan 15, 2018

So I have these untouched in the box...

But can’t help wondering if I’d like these better...

Thoughts?!?!

I saw your post on the FB page. This is a steal!

engine and trac light went on last week. Ran the code and got p2241 code back. O2 senor... brought it into dealer because truck has only 40xxx km on it and they were unable to figure out what was wrong and were only able to clear the code that was back on before I was off the lot... and not before they were able to charge for 1.5 hours worth of labor for clearing a code....

Anyways!.. does anyone have experience or heard anything of this problem? They want $310 for a new bank #2, senor #1, so also if anyone has advice on a cheaper route

Why is your intake for the snorkel facing backwards?
Click to expand...

I like it better that way, the sound it makes with the windows down is AAAWESOMEEEEE!!! also, when you are on dusty trails (and you are not the leader) you get less dust in the air filter

What rack is that.

Its a custom made, a friend of mine designed it with a lot of brainstorming!

I've been working on a short awning to cover the back of the truck from the elements while camping. Based on awnings found on many rack tents, using struts coming off the rack rails. No ground poles, no stakes, no guy wires to trip over. It clears over the obnoxiously proud topper gate.

This is a work and progress and still needs a bit of finishing work and testing (i.e., camping). I'll make a write up if any of you are interested.

Man, that looks great! yeah, you should make a write up!

Removed the poly spacer lift that was on my truck and installed OME 884s on Bilstein 5100s. Rides much, much better now that I’m preload free

Here's a few more pics:

The hoist is connected to the 2x4 via some angle-iron so I could easily offset the lifting position to compensate for added weight on either side of the rack (recovery tracks now, and hi-lift on the other side soon) and it's working well.

Used some 12' lashing straps ran through the large eyelets (only that large to lessen the wrap of the straps).

Nice set up!

Window deflectors to be installed, along with aftermarket headlights (in the box).

Today’s $32 Amazon order. Using the color matched paint for my (currently chrome) grill. Someone said to use oven cleaner on my oem grill to remove the chrome...is this the best method?

Click to expand...

Just make sure you take the grill off the truck when you spray the oven cleaner, that shit will tear off any paint. Prepare to hold your breath like hell too, does not feel good getting a whiff of that stuff. Find your local dollar store to grab a can of the oven cleaner though.

Probably a redundant question, but, where did you get your ditch and cb mount for the hood?

AW SHIET!

Once the plastic cover pc that I ordered from Camelback shows up (figured I'd replace it since mine is all scratched up somehow), gotta find time to put this thing on.

Any progress on this yet Nuno?

Got a wicked deal on a new set of nitto trail grapplers! Now I just need the time to bring it to the shop
