Thanks for the heads up. They are tight for now but I get it. They were barely wrapped and electrical taped only prior so that was one issue.

I have flickering headlights now and the dash blinks when I tap the brakes, so I got a new brake light switch, as suring up the radio wires didn't help. Switch goes in tomorrow when it is light out. I took it out half way home today and it does not click, and it pulled out of the socket spacer which the new one has built onto it. The fact that it may not have been spaced properly may have wasted it.

This is turning out killer, keep us posted with some final install shots after its painted and mounted. I'll keep an eye on your build thread!

Just looked at it cause it's broken.

I wasn't sure if it was even going to work with fitment and what not and I don't anticipate using them all too often on top of being inside of a pretty-much-sealed headlight housing with no moisture so I figured they'll hold up OK.

That looks like peanut butter haha

I got new wheels and tires from a 5th gen. Now to fix the frame rust...

Removed all of the XREAS stuff + springs and shocks, and installed the Eibach ProTruck suspension - alone, in my garage, with hand tools (except for the cordless impact) and did the no spring compressor front coil install. Also used new KYB top hats up front. Set the front perches to the lowest setting and love how it turned out - very slight rake, which will be perfect when I load up the cargo area.

The no spring compressor approach is fantastic! Much safer, and I found that all of my lower control arm bolts move freely (huge relief).

Only took a short ride so far (pending alignment), and I think I'm really going to be happy with this suspension. Esp since I got it Black Friday for ~$650 to my door.

Not pleased at finding a torn cv boot, but at this point it's to be expected.

Finished off the bumper and went wheeling for once!

Sliders installed! May add some gussets to them, but I haven't been planning any rocky offroad trips in the near future so I'll hold off for the time being. Have already been told I should've done them a myriad of other ways. If anyone wants to grind them off and reweld, be my guest lol

Overall very happy with how they turned out. And also incredibly happy that I can now wash/access things on my roof

Installed my UpTop Overland Bravo rack. A few things drove me to this rack over a Prinsu or any other brand, but as of right now I am pretty disappointed with the product for a couple reasons. No instructions at all, missing parts, the bolts that attach the rack to the truck at the feet only bite into the thread opening by 2, maybe 3 threads at most (where the factory bolts went in 3/4" at least). The way the feet connect to the rest of the rack quite frankly just feels like an afterthought, especially on the front feet. It appears this rack was launched in July of this year, so I imagine they just adapted another rack to work on the 4th gen, but it just feels like it was rushed or they cut corners. Not feeling too confident to put a 150lb tent up there just yet. Hopefully UpTop comes through to fix the issues.

Not bashing at all, just out of curiosity what drove you to this rack over Prinsu and other brands? To me the side panels don't look as readily modular and it could be the picture, but it seems like the cross rails are way high compared to the roof itself.

Sorry to hear about the bad experience, hopefully they make it right for you.
