Thank you!

285/75r17 and they’re working great. I can’t wait to jump to 35s. I’m going to start prepping and I should be moving to a true 35 next year.

Not that I intend to lift mine, but I'm surprised by the lack of 3rd gen frontier lifts.

You can't just level the front, seemingly the lowest front lift will cause the front to sit higher therefore you're forced to lift the rear. Kinda lame.

Both these trucks can look pretty mean with the right lift and tire combo. Such as what @Colo_Ranger has going on.

Have you checked out AllDogs Off-road Frontier Lifts?

I like these....easy to remove stock and install? Have a link?

Yeah. Pretty straightforward. The most stressful part was taking off OEM, which come off fairly easy with even pressure. Then, lining up new ones is easy.

Installed a GoFast VTA Blow Off Valve I got from another member. Haven't done any other engine mod's but the price was too good to pass up.
If you look verrrrrry closely you can just see the additional HP just oozing from the installed mod !!!
Strange thing tho, it seems to work. I have always experienced a bit of "lag" when making a sharp right turn....just a momentary power drop.... from a stopped position....like slowly turning from a stop sign or red light while applying gas. Once thru turn Truck always came right back.
Now, while making the same turn, no lag....power stright thru the turn....
Yea !!!
(Also makes a neat "woooooshing" sound)

This is a turn of events, now someone on here is helping me spend MY money. It wasn't supposed to be like that.

I'm not one to go for "gadgets n stuff", but I read the info on their web site....and the price was way to good to pass up. Don't think I would have gone for it at retail cost.....but that's just me.
Haven't taken Truck out for a good acceleration run like an interstate on ramp so don't know if/what effect it will have.....may help with acceleration when towing our camper.
But it did get rid of the momentary lag in the middle of a tight right turn from a stopped position.

I found some of that mythical 'free time' today during the kiddo's nap. Sometimes I wonder what I did with all that free time before becoming a parent. I'm so tired. hahahah

Anyway, the picture above is how I mounted my HAM radio face. I ran the cable along the headliner and down the passenger's A pillar to the radio, under the seat. I have some plans to sound deaden the entire inside of the cab and I will rewire the radio, mount it to a custom bracket, and clean up all the wiring in the cab. For now, this will do. My review is useless anyways, so... now... its decorative.



I installed the Unleased tune with @TORQUERULES shift strategy yesterday. I've only done about 20 miles, but it definitely seems better so far. I will continue to update, as I drive more.

The kiddo helped.

I am not an all out power guy, especially in a truck, but any time I can make drivability better, I am in. I'd rather tune the truck for daily benefits and offroad predictability than straight power.

Looks like he is saying - Let's go kick some ass.

Rinced it from outside & underside with a garden hose.

No point in washing it since the roads are like watery mud/silt substance which sticks to everything. But atleast now I can get in without messing up the clothes.
