Yes sir. He's my third Golden and first male and has an unbelievable fun personality.
My last dog was a wiener dog (and yes he was mine). He was 17 when I had to make the call.... he was a badass, he used to climb up and rest on the side view mirrors and live the dream...

Posted this in the wrong "what did you do" forum earlier.

Stock or not stock?

Installed Bilstein's 6112 front springs and shocks and a set of quick-detach sway-bar links.
How do you like them and what do you have them paired with on the rear? This is the setup I want to go with because I want to keep some rake and the adjustment on those seems easy. I was thinking of setting them at a bit over an inch of lift in the front. I guess I will go with the 5160s in the rear.

I have them set to 0.80 inches of lift. You can tell that it doesn't have as much rake, but if this wasn't your truck, you might think it is stock. The tires are 265/70R17, so overall it's about an inch taller in the front than stock. I'm sort of trying to replicate the Tremor engineering. I think the higher you go up, the more pretension on the springs and the ride would get stiffer. I can tell mine is a bit stiffer than stock, but the damping response is much better.

In the rear I have 5100s. I ordered the kit with the 5100s for the front and the rear, but the fronts are still backordered. I installed the rear shocks. When the fronts arrive (someday) I will remove the rears and replace them with the 5160 reservoir shocks. Then I'll have a complete set of 5100s to sell (fronts new and rears with 1000-2000+ miles on them).

If you do nothing other than install rear shocks, it will improve the ride tremendously.

Finally aggregated all of my individual switches into a single gang switch. Fits so satisfyingly well between the cigarette plugs. ?? I think I’m happier with this solution than I would have been with the Lightforce or Stedi fascia. Since I only had to feed a single wire through the firewall. Gonna make it easier to change things in the future with the everything in the engine bay. Currently have the Diode Dynamics SS6 wide beams, KC Flex dual spots, rock lights, and my bed cargo lights hooked up.

Are those after market headlights or the projectors that come on the lariat with tint and a eyebrow moulding??? I have been considering an aftermarket setup on my lariat but the projectors that come stock are actually really good IMO.

Stock headlights with dood headlight trim and TW 2-Ply IR Nano Ceramic™ Film on headlights, windshield and windows. I also agree that the stock projectors are quite amazing. Not worth changing them out to me.

2021 Ranger Tremor, multiple Toyota off-road rigs
I finished up the install of my “Beijing Designs” (Extreme LED) 25” XS light bar behind the grille of my Tremor. Also installed the Fab Fours acc relocation bracket for the hidden winch in the future. I made the brackets to hold the light and wired the amber and white lights independently to the upfitter switches.
