Looks really good. I have the same RC 2.5" level kit and really like it. Are you going with bigger tires or keeping the stock ones for now?

I'm keeping the stock ones till they wear out. I can't beat the ride.

That looks really good. Nice work
Thanks! I think they're the perfect size without having to cut the crash bars and taking a big hit with your mpg's.

Actually yesterday. I had my buddy install the RoughCountry 2.5 level lift. He swapped the left and right side struts so the upper bolts fit but everything went good. He has a post lift so it was easier than laying on my driveway. Middle picture is before and the others are after.

Looks great, just needs a tire upgrade!

Edit... I missed the last page of thread about upgrading after the stock tires wear out!

Wednesday I installed a 2 channel Blackvue DR900s dashcam. The 4k front and 1080p rear is very nice to have. Only problem is that the passenger side windshield wiper doesn't cover much of the windshield up top. I mounted it not realized this until it rained. It needs to be somewhere where the windshield is cleaned by the wiper. But yet, I also don't want it in my view. I'm going to move it around tomorrow to see where it won't be in my view.

Today, I put in a bed extender. It was this one, it's more U-shaped to allow for more room in the bed when in use.

Install was a breeze. No drilling required. I did almost cross thread one of the threaded inserts in my bed though. That was a scary moment. lol

I'm going to guess Duratracs because Canadian Tire has had a promotion on these forever.

Nice! What are you going with?

I was just getting my winter tires put on... 265/70R17 Cooper Discoverer M+S on the stock Sport wheels.

I also had them swap the factory spare with one of my 265/70R17 General Grabber ATX tires. The other four will be mounted on whatever wheels I decide on over the winter.

The best part was everything was completely free, I paid with Canadian Tire money that was on my MasterCard!

I have had many dealings with Cooper and on my 07 Ranger, I put Coopers on my truck. In fact, many of the engine/trans mounts on Ranger were supplied by Cooper. It was and is an Outstanding company.

They make great tires! This is my first truck set but I had Cooper Zeon ZPT on one of my Mustangs and have had a set of RS3-A in the past and currently a set of RS3-G1 on my Mazda. One of the old Cooper plants is about 20 minutes from me that makes engine and transmission mounts. It has been bought by Continental. My brother-in-law works there and that’s how I got such a great deal on my General tires!
