    Not as of yet. The brackets that come with the SS3 have adjustment for the vertical alignment. I was pretty careful to make sure they were angled down enough so they’re not hitting anyone in the face. If you aren’t careful and don’t spend the time? Ya I could see these being pretty overpowering for oncoming drivers.

    It is Quicksand. The blueish hue is from a break in the overcast.

    Just the topic I was looking for. I got my truck back yesterday after suspension install. And I’m wondering if it needs to be broken in before some serious flexing. I also have a little rake. I’m hoping the rear settles more than the front. For me it’s the OME light duty leafs that jacked up the rear. Just slightly.

    Makes cool noise..lol. S&B makes good filter, more air flow, not just grabbing air from fender like oem, grabs from fender an front. Should help keep air intake temps down and closer to ambient. I did notice better throttle response. Doubt an hp gains if there is you won't be able to tell. Able to clean an reuse filter.
    On my other cars when I monitor IAT's most aftermarket have lower IAT then oem and do better not heat soaking. I tend to see most benefits at the track. Again also lower IAT closer to ambient around town.

    Truck looks great, but that picture makes it look like you have oval wheels o_O

    Probably a little bit camera angle trickery but I’m getting these big bastards put on today.

    Installed trac bar relocation bracket. Noticed it rubbing after the lift. Im still getting a clank sound in the front after shifting into gear and pressing the break suddenly from a roll. In forward and reverse. It stops after the first time in that direction though. Scratching my head.

    It's the newest fad. People with oval wheels are called bobbleheads.

    Thanks!
    I am planning to get a set, but I have been on the fence about whether to get the Sport or the Pro level.
    I was mainly concerned with them being too obnoxious to oncoming drivers.

    I had that sound/feel in a 4Runner after a lift. It was the lower control arms.

    For troubleshooting noises like that I’ve mounted a GoPro under my vehicle aimed where I think it’s happening. Watching back it was easy to see what was causing the noise.

    Drove from San Diego to Augusta to my new home. Finished the post drive detail! Wish I had taken a pre pic of the engine bay. No spray down required.

    Chem bros citrus wash&gloss
    Griots clay bar
    Optimum car wax used for clay bar detail spray+wax application (this stuff rocks)

    Engine bay used vacuum+detail brush to lose dirt
    Wet shop towels to clean up remainder
    Adams VRT to plastics/rubber with foam applicator.

    I got my wheel center cap logos done last weekend. Barcelona red. It’s not quite the color I think I wanted. Better than chrome though.

    It’s the angle I had my phone. Tilt your phone upward and sometimes it makes for a cool pic. Obviously not this time :oops:
