Welcome, nice looking truck! You'll love the upgrade those Fox 2.0 rears will make, should fix your immediate ride concerns.

Been a while since an update. My front coilovers came in from Fox, unfortunately FedEx mishandled them and they showed up sticking out of the side of the box and damaged. Waiting on an RMA to get a new set.

I also received Mori tinted side markers, hoping to get them in tomorrow.

Was the tech able to replicate your speedo issue?

Also, those morimoto headlights look so gorgeous. Damn.

Sorry, forgot to follow up on that.

The day before the service appointment I wasn't able to replicate the issue anymore. I cancelled the appointment as I figured the risk was too high. I haven't had the issue since, which has me perplexed.

In other news my replacement Coilovers will be here tomorrow, finally. Took Fox eight business days to get me a return label and RMA authorization. I'm not impressed with their customer service.

My Mishimoto cold air intake showed up last week as well. I need a good install day for all of these parts, but it has been a hectic couple weeks with a LOT of overtime.

I'm glad the problem went away...

Looking forward to how you like the fox shocks all around.

CV Favrication intercooler and hard pipes arrive Thursday, stock piling parts apparently. ?

CV Fab intercooler and pipes showed up today. UPS did their best to beat the hell out of the box, but due to great packaging the parts arrived undamaged.

Very happy with the intercooler based on what I can see. The pipes have some rough spots on the powder coating and the edges need a little clean up, but if I’m honest as the owner of a powder coating business I am VERY picky in those regards. I will likely strip and recoat them at some point in the future in my own color scheme anyway.

Don't mind me making note that I now know someone with a powder coating company, in iowa....

Long time without an update as I have been slammed with work.

Picked up some Tremor wheels and had some Wildpeaks mounted:

I also have a room full of parts I’m hoping to get installed next weekend over the long break.

Waiting to be installed:
Tremor Wheels and Wildpeaks
Fox 2.0 Front and Rears
CV Fab Intercooler
CV Fab Intercooler Pipes
Mishimoto Intake
Turbosmart BPV
Morimoto Sidemarkers
Diode Dynamics SS3 Max Foglights

I’m probably forgetting a part or two, but they’ve been boxed up for long enough I’m losing track. ?

Got the Fox Suspension, Tremor Wheels and new tires today. Suspension is definitely an improvement. It’s stiffer for sure, but feels more balanced and with quicker recovery from bumps.

My truck came with the fox 2.0, and one thing I notice going 9ver speed bumps is there is a speed range where the truck just goes over the bumps like there isn't anything there. To fast and the back end pops up, to slow and it thumps down...

Does that make sense? I really like the suspension overall.

Last weekend I got the rest of the parts installed. Only took a few pics. I’ll definitely have to get some of the driving lights, they are impressive.

during intake, charge pipes and BPV install.

New intercooler mounted:

It’s not visible in the pictures, but I purchased and installed new foam on the sides, bottom and top of intercooler. Everything fit well except the plastic divider on the top of the intercooler had to be trimmed back a little.

What made you go with the turbosmart bvp? As apposed to the dual one? Just wondering what the differences are with the turbosmart blow off value?

I don’t want the noise of a vent to atmosphere valve on my daily is the primary reason.
