Everything is a balancing act, and you want the choices you make in the upgrades you choose to work well together. A 4.88 gear ratio is just way too much for the upgrades that even 99% of the people on THIS site install, much less the all the soccer moms out there. When I was on 285/70/17s...

My 4th Gen (bought it brand new in 2003) had 175k on it when I sold it to my brother and bought my 5th Gen. He sold it at 225k when the cats went out. He lives in an area with emissions testing and it would not pass without the new cats. It was just not worth that expense on a 13 year old...

Depends on how good your interior shop is. I had to recover the driver’s seat on my ‘03. Used a local auto interior shop that does a lot of high-end vehicles (think custom super car interiors). The match was almost perfect. Unless you recover everything, the new stuff will match but won’t have...

Just had a leak fixed in mine about 3 weeks ago. ‘12 Limited. Leak was on the input seal from the transmission. It started super slow. Had the dealership fix it the second I smelled gear oil outside the vehicle. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Curious on the issues you were having that led to this? What were the indicators? I'm not LT in the front like you, but I think it would be good info to have; know what to keep an eye out for and all. TIA. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Unless you can fabricate yourself, or live close enough to a fabricator and have the funds for fully custom, the decision is all about compromise. My primary requirements were dual swing outs and a removable hitch (increases departure angle significantly). Secondary requirements were a dual...

Full-time 4WD. Anything missing that the other models have can be added after the fact on the Limited with the exception of KDSS. My personal opinion is that KDSS is cool and generally works well, but it is a fairly complex system. Complex systems tend to fail in complex (and usually...

16" wheels will not fit any 5th gen. 17" is the minimum diameter to clear the brake calipers. Spacers will not fix the issue. 17"+ only. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Another vote for these guys. I've had all our vehicles done there. They do all the tinting for the high end dealerships in the area. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Absolutely correct on both accounts. ...but the RPM difference will have a big impact on highway fuel economy. My personal experience after the regear is a slight improvement in town and a slight drop on the highway. That's exactly what you'd expect as well. Sent from my iPhone using...

Okay. I'll admit I LOL'd at this Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Weird....calculator puts me at 2759. Glad I double checked that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The calculators don't lie but since you don't believe in math... I run (roughly) 2800 RPM in 5th at 83 mph on worn 33s. Sometimes higher RPMs. Sometimes lower RPMs. Depends which way the wind is blowing. Literally. There's also no such thing as a flat road which will impact it as well even...

Just dropping in to vouch for John Lynn over at Blueline. He's a stand up guy that runs a trustworthy business. I do not know him personally but have purchased through him and Blueline before. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

EDIT: The crooked cap at the front is all me (noticed it after I took the picture). The rear of the trim where it looks uncovered is hidden by the rear door. Sorry for the delay. Let me know if there are others you'd like. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
