Installed SL1 lows & SLF in my fogs today. Great build and fit. Cutoff hit tape line I had from stock halogens on our garage wall. Also installed LED switchbacks and marker bulbs. Hopefully will get pics sometime in the next week.

Towed our boat ~200 miles through a couple passes in the cascades. Truck did great again pulling, noticeable difference with the bilsteins installed on the rears. Brought the truck back to normal ride much quicker after bumps, heaves and other road conditions which stock suspension took a while to absorb.

No truck in sight, too gorgeous of a morning not to share.

Got around to replace the driver side rear bumper end cap. Snow bank accident 2 months after purchase. Wasn't super diligent but eventually found a take off on eBay for a reasonable price. Took about an hour and a half. Unclipped the bumper pad on the driver side and center.

Old and new

Remove the 2 on top

Remove the 2 on the left

Then getting to this bolt made me consider the fact I may have to take the entire hitch and bumper off. This had to be at least 30 min spent on getting to this bolt.

Thanks, mini build relative to what you have ahead of you. Should be having 5100s installed upfront in the next few weeks. Like to go 1.75" but think I'm going 1.25", rather not have negative rake when loaded up and towing. Think I'm going to follow your lead on the front valance removal. Also looking to black out the side emblems and fuel logos. Going to see how it comes out with plastidip or peel coat.

Had 5100s installed upfront at 1.25” setting. Feels great driving, front fenders don’t look stuffed anymore as well. Waiting to wash truck up to post pics.

Yep, replaced them in June, big difference. Best 30 minutes I’ve invested in improving handling.

Also, swapped out the front overlay from gray to black.

Where'd you get your emblem overlays? Truck looks great by the way!
