I had the second driver-side airbag/horn cover replaced under warranty today.

I just got a 2018 Lariat SCrew in Magnetic w/ 502a, Sport Package, and FX4, and am embarking on a similar build. Going with the 305/65/18 BFG KO2s, but opted for the Black Rhino Warlord wheels and a 2” RC Level. Your build has been a great help, and look forward to sharing photos of mine as it comes along.

It's extremely impressive that you've kept this thread so punctually updated for all these years. I've yet to find anyone who makes such organized and meticulous logs every few weeks. When I was still behind the wheel of the white '17, I found your notes greatly insightful as I was researching aftermarket rear bumpers. FabFours has my interest again, this time for the RCSB.

Keep up the awesome work! The truck has really come together as a well-rounded package. And yes, that shop is beyond saving if they thought to combine 5100s with a puck spacer.

I edited IPC address 720-02-01 with FORScan to disable the startup chimes. I'd gotten used to it, but my nephew said it was annoying... so, it's gone.

Wow. I really like those wheels. I think this is the wheel setup that I would like to go with. Are the Black Rhinos at a +12 offset? Did you need to cut or modify anything?

Yep. +12. No cutting or modifications other than the RC 2” level on the front. No rubbing at full lock either way. Let me know if you want additional pictures to get a sense of stance.

Absolutely wouldn't mind additional pictures . How close does the black rhino color match the metalic?

Trying to upload additional images I just took but it's stalling on the upload. Will try again later...
The Warlord "Gunmetal" color is pretty close to the Magnetic in the right light, but it's not a metallic finish on the wheel so it has more of a matte look. It's one of those things where, in the right light (e.g., direct light), it will appear more gray, but in low light conditions it will seem more black. Overall, I'm very happy with them and the 305/65/18 size. It's aggressive looking, but no hum at speed, no perceptible power loss (5.0 and 3.55 rear end) over the stock 20's, and no degradation in ride quality.
