    Help Me Solve My Suspension Issues! (Body Mount Rub on 285s)

    My first thought would be some UCAs that allow you to move the wheel forward in the well (SPCs, maybe others?).

    4th Gen Suspension Options/FAQ

    Yup lead times are crazy right now. Couple weeks and I should finally have my suspension in though, so its a start! I'm not nearly as experienced as most folks here, but I can't imagine the 18" vs. 17" wheel would make enough real difference to justify the $$.

    4th Gen Suspension Options/FAQ

    You're right- you won't be able to fit 16s, 17 is the smallest you can go. Personally I think it depends on your use case. If you're going to be offroading a lot, and that's a priority for you, get some 17s, but if its a 95% on-road and 5% mild off roading kind of rig, 18s will be plenty good. I...

    24F AGM vs 27F Conventional

    I went with the X2Power 24F AGM from Batteries Plus. 840 CCA, 76 AH capacity. Have only had it a couple months, but have run my winch off of it a couple times with no issues. I thought it was a good compromise between weight and capacity. Little expensive, but they do rebates and % off deals...

    GM leading the way with EVs. No more gas cars by 2035. Can Toyota be far behind?

    EVs are coming, like it or not. They definitely appeal to me for a lot of reasons- MPG, torque, potential reliability of the electric motors. Plus, Teslas are damn fun to drive- that instant torque is addicting!

    New Head Unit Questions

    Anybody have any idea what the bolt/screw spacing on the factory backup camera for fourth gens is? My factory backup camera works, but the quality is pretty rough- has probably degraded a bit in its 15 years of life. I don't mind to run wiring all the way to the head unit as I'll be replacing...

    4th Gen specific for sale thread

    Do you have any pull and pays, junkyards etc you could go check out? car-part.com may be able to help. I'd think that would be the cheapest way to go. If not that, may be worth checking out the RCI group buy thread in the Group Buys section- engine skid in steel is 295 before group buy discount...

    Would you buy a maintenance kit for common jobs?

    I would see the value in something like that depending on price, especially for those new to vehicle maintenance. For me, it would all depend on the contents of the kit- am I getting OEM replacements where it matters, OEM ATF for the power steering flush, etc etc etc. I will always pay extra for...

    4th Gen Suspension Options/FAQ

    Not sure if you got an answer in the other thread or not, but the Adj Panhard only recenters your axle under the body of the vehicle, it does not correct the panhard's angle. The panhard should be as level as possible, and when you lift the truck, you also lift up the mounting point of the...

    skid plate holes stripped, advice???

    I drilled the holes out with a metric 8.5mm drill bit, tapped with an M10x1.5 tap and replaced bolts with higher quality ones. Old motor oil for cutting fluid. Worked like a charm and very very easy

    V6 or V8 for daily driver

    Hey- was joking that I'd buy your V8, but I'm out of the market now. Lol sorry!

    For anyone looking for a clean V8

    They are definitely getting a bit tough to find! Just picked up a 2006 Limited V8 4x4 with 160K on it, very slight surface rust on the frame for $11K- but took me a good long while to find it.
