    I gave it a major cleaning. Inside and out. It was in the 50s yesterday, and sunny. I hat my vehicles being dirty. Must be an OCD thing.

    Feel free to ask

    Did you put a level on it? Based on your picture, it looks pretty level. I have the same bumper coming.

    No I couldn’t find my level and I didn’t even eyeball it. It looks pretty close but I need to check to see to be sure. I think it needs raised a hair on the passenger side.

    It’s really nice I’m sure you will love it. My only complaint is with installing the 30” light bar. I “think” I did it right, but wasn’t as easy as putting it on and tightening a couple bolts.

    Probably be a lot easier to do with a 20” bar.

    I have the same light bar. I’ve been debating whether I’m even going to bother installing it. I like the idea of more visibility on winch line as it wraps around the drum when pretensioning.
    Just have to wait and see how much sun/uv exposure the winch line would be subjected to without the lightbar in place.

    Putting a level on something that everything else is not level does not work out, doing it by measuring is a better option. This is just my opinion though, you do you.

    Blacked out badges, window deflectors, smoked 3rd brake light. I have a Borla muffler on order as well as some color matched engine cover stickers. I'll be painting the stock wheels soon as well. Falken tires in the fall as well.
    Agreed unless the truck is on a level surface the level used on the truck would not be accurate.

    And also take into consideration the lean of the truck.

    I thought he was trying to level his bumper, not the suspension? My mistake.

    I went back and re-read his post and you're correct, my bad!

    No, you are correct assuming he can find a level surface to take the measurements from.

    But you don’t want to measure from the ground, you want to measure from the vehicle. Yes it helps if you have a perfect spot to park while doing it.

    Added a Toyota center console safe; only took about 10 minutes to install. For reference, it’s part # 00016-86184

    Remote start installed on the ‘21 SR5. Viper Ds4+. Meh. It’ll do what we want, expandable, and decent price installed.

    Toyo AT3 285/75r17 OR 305/70r17

    I have read that the wider tires will give me more rubbing (as expected). But unsure of how much modifications I will have to do once I get ask my other accessories installed.

    You'll definitely need to do the fender liner mod, some mudflap modification (or removal), and I would plan on a body mount chop.

    If you have push start, it will shut down when you open the door. If you have a regular key, it will not shut down when you open the door.
