Finally got around to installing some of the things I've had prior to my truck arriving in June! RL intrusion beams, flares, wheels/tires. Also did the smoked led front markers to blend with the flares, and Diode dynamics SS3 foglight pods in while the bumper was basically hanging off for the intrusion beam install (it looked like it would have been a real pain to do at any other time!!). Not pictured but also BD trims tailgate letters and started some carbon fiber inside with the tiffskinz steering wheel trim. B&I trim kit to come, among other things.
Tires are 295/70r17 on 17x9's with +1mm offset. Suspension is the Eibach Pro-Truck Lift kit +3"/+1" installed by the dealer prior to taking delivery to keep warranty intact. Man, I love how this thing is sitting now! :)

Just installed my damper, I'm finding that the cable is getting stuck/rubbing up against it. Any suggestions on what to do about that?
Check out the first post here. I did this and it's been fine ever since.

Btw...Welcome to the club! ?

Installed my tires and rims- 265/70/17 wildpeaks on icon six speed (+25mm offset). I’m very happy with this combo! Did my Fox FP levelling kit a year ago and finally got around to getting rims and tires :)

Knocked some of the dirt off at the lazy, half-ass wash and then added grey FX4 decals to replace the originals. I left it debadged for a little while, but it just seemed like something should be there.

Sometime in the past week I accidently installed an air pressure removal device on one of my tires. Not a fan of this mod and Ill be going to get it removed soon.

Wouldnt recommend this mod!

Common now...to install something means you intentionally did it.
Accidentally doing something means you didn't mean to do it .
So, which is it ?
Or maybe your trying a new type of lowering set up and the company just shorted you a few parts n pieces to do the other 3 tires !!!

I know these are not everyone's cup o' tea, but back as a youngster driving 70's and 80's trucks-I just have to have side moldings!
Got them from Sportwing.com. Ordered Monday night, they arrived early afternoon Thursday. Instead of Lightning Blue, I got the Metallic Magnetic to match the fender flares. Perfect match.

I don't know if you still love these but I sure as hell do. I gave Amber a bath today (It's amazing how Sabre doesn't show dirt) and I was so happy with how these mouldings look and have held up. Thanks for the push. She also makes my hovel look better.

I once had a tire in for repair that had one half of a set of needle nose pliers inside the tire through one hole. One half of the handle, one half of the vise. To this day, I still don't know how that could have happened.

I had a 1 1/4 in open faced wrench in a tire on my 98 Ranger once. Couldn't believe it when I pulled over.

It's mind boggling when you see some of the things in tires. I worked in a gas station where people brought tires in to be plugged and a few of them... dude, this cannot be repaired. Hammers, screw drivers, eye glasses, etc.
