    I would like to drive one without a rear to really see the difference because I don’t remember. Trucks now at 52000 miles. I put mine on at about 100 after buying it with 3. Installed the TRD front about a month ago and really noticed how much less the front dips in corners. It feels more solid

    Thanks for the vid. I was debating picking them up. Turns out I am not a fan.

    There's no measurable difference in efficiency with the ports on the side vs on top. It is best to avoid the lines going in the bottom though. I do not believe even the factory cooler has the lines going in the top. I may be wrong though. That was the direction I was able to build a mount so I figured a sideways cooler is more efficient than no cooler. :burnrubber:

    Yes please
    Installed Victory 4x4 skid plate in preparation of C4 bumper install later this week. Anybody know what these extra pieces are for? If anyone needs a factory skid plate( local only), let me know.

    Installed my Bakflip G2 this morning. Easy install and it looks great (my humble opinion). Just a little nicer than the cover on the '08 Ram 2500 behind it. Figured this would take advantage of the locking tailgate my Ram doesn't have.

    Finally get to post something...

    OK. So this unit defaults to on. As I said a few months ago the paperwork says you can damage charger with foreign metal objects. Twice in first two weeks I had tossed spare keys there from old habits and found lights flashing red. I am out of that habit now but perfer the control of it being off until I turn it on. If the power switch defaults off this would have been not necessarily.

    He wasn't sure the fronts would fit on aftermarket spindles so I got to be the guinea pig. They do! (At least on Readylift)

    I added a couple little things this morning:
    Eagle Klaw floor mat hold downs for the passenger side
    Some tie downs from Cali Raised Off-road at the front of the bed. I need to touch up the bed liner, but waiting for warmer weather. The gap is there as I have a trail edition but removed the tool boxes.
    After moving some furniture last weekend, I needed a couple more tie down spots that work with my tonneau, so made these up from parts from Amazon.
    Lastly, added a little LED spot light with a magnetic mount for some light in the bed with the tonneau closed.

    How do these work? I had a mental note to research something like this after pulling the passenger side mats back off the firewall for the billionth time.

    Pretty easy install, although I opted for a wood block and hammer instead of trying to stomp the piece into the carpet.

    @Green Thunder and @RainMan_PNW they are well worth it. Just put mine in the other week and extremely happy.
    The link shows how it works but I like that the anchor to the carpet doesn't require any cutting.

    Read the manual. Those are the flux capacitor spacers. Don't want the flux capacitor to overheat.

    And they're on

    A few minor rubs at full turn.

    I'll have to take the front mud flaps off and press in or cut a small portion out. And there is a minor rub up front at full lock that will get dealt with when I get a front lift.....likely in spring.

    Black Rhino Stadium with Falken Wildpeak AT3 275/70/18.

    I was hoping for no rubs or issues....but not the case. Neither are concerning and I'll be mindful until I get them worked out

    Love the center console job! I can't believe there is no OEM replacement part out there. I was thinking about wrapping mine, but thanks for the tip on the paint! Might save a lot of labor!

    If you are talking about the radio surround, there is a black replacement part.
