    What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

    What took me so long? Did the H9/H11 conversion today...what a difference! The light isn't LED white, but the color and overall light projection is heads and shoulders above the H11. I've read they burn out a bit faster, so I'll carry a spare H11 just in case. :)

    help me set a value baseline for my truck

    Well, for a "baseline", I'd start at Kelly Blue Book and go from there. Given these rigs are prone to under rust, and seeing as how yours looks pretty good for the year, you might be able to creep up to the upper end of the valuation. As for any mods...that will be up to the buyer to value them...

    Method Roost 308

    Found a thread... Anyone running Method's new Roost?

    Body Shop or Auto Detailer?

    Since it's the inner fender liner, and since there's no (auto) paint there, see if you can dab some mineral spirits in there to get it off. Up close and personal with a power washer might work too If neither of those work, maybe some bedliner spray might stick.

    Body Shop or Auto Detailer?

    You might also be able to use some bug/tar remover to help loosen it up a bit...might just come right off. I believe it's safe on clear coat but be sure to read the label before squeezing the handle.

    Off-brand rear bumper cover

    Thanks again for all the replies. I looked at some of the paint-to-order sites and there's options for the SR5, but not the OR. Believe it or not, the local dealer hooked me up. With my military discount, I walked out the door with an OEM for $250. I still need to get it painted though. Two...

    Off-brand rear bumper cover

    Thanks for the replies! I've called about a half dozen collision shops in my area and most won't touch the bumper unless they source the parts and provide all of the removal/installation labor. All of them state this is to comply with their warranty policies. I found 1...a dealer associated...

    Off-brand rear bumper cover

    Everyone loves a picture, so here's my predicament...need a new bumper cover. The OEM bumpers aren't prohibitively expensive themselves, but damn, the shipping rates in some places exceed the cost of the bumper cover itself, pushing the total cost > $500. Of course, there's the follow-on paint...

    Alternator Choice

    Yeah, I'd stick with the part number.

    Alternator Choice

    I'd go by part number. Partsouq lists number 2706031190 as the OEM replacement, which is a 130 amp. This is for the 2019-2020 model....

    Component Wear

    I have to give a +1 on the ECGS bushing if you have a lift. It wasn't long after I installed the lift to my 4th Gen when it went bad, and as luck would have it, it occurred during the winter. Luckily, the cold weather broke for a spell and I managed to find a decent day to replace it. If you...

    Code P1605

    Looks like you're hitting the far end of the warranty period. Taking it to the dealer?

    2014 headlight upgrade -Any black Friday deals?

    Hindsight being what it is, I'd steer clear of the Anzo lights as well. After a year and a half, the protective coating is visibly delaminating from the top of the lens and are starting to develop a somewhat of an amber haze to them. If I knew that was going to happen, I wouldn't have bought...

    What seems to be the reason behind people abandoning the Sprint Booster?

    I bought the SB a while back...if I could just get my flux capacitor to work, I'd go back and get this. That is, if it's compatible with 2020+ models (their fitment stops at 2019).

    SPC upper control arms... anyone running them?

    I bought a pair of these for my 4th gen back in late 2016. My only frustration with these was that the bushings would dry out every 6 months or so, and the (inner) metal sleeve would rub, creating this god awful creaking (dry metal on rubber) noise every time the front suspension flexed. I...
