@Daytonaviolet
Sorry to answer. I was reading this and thought I would help.
Here is the hood swap thread...

Thanks!

 

cutting slats in the bumper is the only way to attach the valance oem way. The cuts you make is covered by the valance.

As for the hood scoop, you’ll have to purchase a trd hood and then attach the scoop.

 

I posted on that thread, unfortunately my color is blizzard pearl which is exclusive to the limited.

you may have butter luck then me

 

Understand , Thanks for the info

 

If you sell that truck...
I will find the money!
If it isn't spoken for! Lol
That is a great 1 of 1.
You already know my thoughts...

Now that you've had your setup for awhile, how are you enjoying your Cornfed 2/1.5” kit after everything settled in? Do you find it leveled the truck pretty well, or did it keep a bit of the rake?

 

Yes it’s been about a year and it’s leveled ~38” on all corners.

 

Looks great! I'm trying to decide between the 2.5/2 or a custom 2.25/2 kit to keep a subtle rake. Going a little taller because I eventually want to step up into 295s.

I've been going crazy these past couple of days looking for pictures of the 2/1.5 and 2.5/2 to see how level it is. I like the even gap from fender to tire but then the slight negative rake towards the rear you get on the rocker throws it all off for me. Just like with anything else though, I'm overthinking it lol

 

perhaps work with Ren and have him send you a few sets. Then return the ones you don’t use.

 

Ended up pulling the trigger on the 2.5/2 set... Full send here we go lol

How are you liking those Ridge Grapplers btw... Decent in the wet? I want to step up into 295s and as far as AT/Hybrids go, those are sitting at the top of my list right now.

 

I think you’ll like the 2.5/2 kit. I believe the 1/2” will make your truck level. That’s why I got the 2/1.5.

so far the RG are great in dry/wet driving. I haven’t tried snow yet, but I’ve read it was not the best.

 

Yea, can't wait to get it installed and see how she sits. I was looking through some threads and it seems those who have gone up to the 2.5/2 kit are mostly level. Depending on the rig, they may have a very subtle rake when measured from center of hub to fender. Every truck can vary slightly so I'll see what happens. I'll be happy with it level, but if I get a slight hint of rake, that's cool too.

Happy to hear you like the RGs. They're definitely popular, with most reviews being positive. The negatives I have seen are a few people having bad experiences in the wet, so I'm glad to see they've been good to you in those conditions. Snow is a concern for me... They seem to do ok in the deeper stuff, but suffer in that first inch or two of wet slush.

I originally wanted the Wildpeaks AT3W, but they don't make a 295. The KO2s I'm not a big fan of. I know they perform great, but I can't get over the tread design... It just looks like little dog turds everywhere LOL. The MT Baja ATZ gets good reviews, but I just love how aggressive the RGs look.

 

Just wanted to share my simple wireless phone charger. It fits in the armrest tray with my ip10 xs max.

Who has nothing in the center console? Ours hasn't been that clean since day one! Lol
Great idea!
Ryan

 

well of course, these photos were staged

 

Where do the put the buttons for the heated seats in the limiteds? We weren't in the market & never test drove one. Even your real leather threw me off for a second! Lol

the two knobs below the HVAC

 

The dual zone...
You need to sell me that truck! My wife dislike white but I will make her change. Lmao
As always, beautiful build.
Ryan

 

Once 6gen is available and depending on how it looks, I’ll be ready to sell her

 

I removed the front Trd Bilsteins and Cornfed’s and replaced them with Kings.

 

Awesome! What are your lift measurements now and how are you enjoying the ride? Nice touch with the color matched JBAs as well.

 

Prior with the Bilsteins I was 23.75” up front. Now the kings (600lbs rate), I’m 23.5 (5 turns). I lost 0.25”. When I put in my 2” rear icon springs (currently 23”), I’ll re-visit the fronts and level accordingly.

what I noticed initially is how smooth the front is now. Previously felt bouncy with the Bilsteins and the 2” CF preload spacers.

 

Got these to cover the chrome. Awesome product as usual from Meso.

 

I bet... Those Kings gotta absorb everything so nicely. How's the nose dive now... Did the kings further help improve that over the Bilstein/CF combo?

 

the kings do a much better job absorbing bumps and providing a smoother ride. Nose dive reduced more .. but if I slam the brakes it still dives a bit. But definitely reduced.

but the bling factor improved 100%. Can’t wait for the rears to arrive.

 

I rears kings arrived. Installed it with icons 15806 2” spring.

 

Installed RSG sliders. These are heavy ... lol

RSG hrew flat sliders w/ grip, top plate and no kick out.

 

Another beautiful addition! Didn't you have sliders?
Great looking garage also. Now I definitely have to buy that when you are done!
Any future plans that you want to share? Does it ever truly end for any enthusiast? Lol
Props again!
Ryan
*Edit* I am glad you have my taste. My next truck is looking better all the time! Serious props on the build as always.

 

I actually had the predator steps. I’ve always wanted sliders but didn’t make it on my list until now. Found a local guy selling a used set for a great price.

My gobi rack is paid for and has shipped. I expect it within a week or so. Also my Black Friday orders should be here ~ February I hope (C4 stuff).

I think after these next set of mods, I’m done for a while. But I I’m leaning toward some -38mm wheels. Just need to get bmc firstz

Your truck will be available once 6gen is released
