Subbing for updates. Looks great so far.

Does the filter media appear to be glued to the printed end caps? It looks awesome, such an ingeniously simple solution.

Yes, so many words to say the same, I suppose, lol. I realize it's a wall of text, but I linked that article as well in the first post as well. Great minds or something? Apologies if anyone has found the previous posts confusing. I realize in the first I leaned one way while relying on...

After writing all that, I really paid attention on my hour drive home, and these are my thoughts. Under 25 mph: It feels like there are hockey pucks between the coils. It doesn’t really feel like the suspension is doing much because it’s so harsh. My E load tires probably play into this...

Following out of curiosity. I have the stage 5 Icons and the tl;dr is they are borderline harsh around town and through pothole riddled roads at low speeds, but they're excellent on the highway and on twisty backroads at speed. Turned down to full soft off road they're more pleasant over rough...

I'm assuming you're also running stock wheels so the offset wouldn't be a variable. I don't know anyone else with wider tires to test out the clearance for you, but I think your concerns are valid. For some background perspective, I came from lowered cars where I liked a really stiff ride for...

I sent in my first used oil sample to Blackstone Labs from the interval covering the trip. It had 5,609 odometer miles on it (approx. 5833 corrected for tire dia). During the trip I did have a relatively extended amount of driving above 4k rpms, considering my truck usually spends 0 time above...

Out of all this, I was able to get this done before the trip: -<strike>Remove skids in prep for minor surgery done -Timing belt and water pump, OEM parts ordered and arrived -Replace radiator as preventive maint while I have the system apart -Change over to red Toyota coolant at that time...

I have a ton of pinstripes on my 97, and imo the only way you'd get down to metal is contact with a rock. I've had horrible noises from big 2-3" branches, one was actually large enough that it got caught in my roof rack and stopped the truck (I was going less than 5mph), and none have even gone...

For sure. I did it more out of not trusting the factory mounts, and not wanting to have them add their own speed holes to my undercarriage if the old mounts gave way. But between the pure beef of the F250 towers, not having to modify the axle mounts, and the potential for a crazy build down...

Yes, I do have 1.5" spacers, but I also have the massive 2.5" shocks, so maybe they wouldn't require so much spacer with a smaller shock body. I've never seen rub marks, and I've never heard any rubbing noises from the rear. I still have the short/factory length sway bar links in the rear (a...

A little late, but here are some pics. I was surprised with how easy this project was (I did it as procrastination from replacing the motor mounts, which was a nightmare, so it's all relative, lol). I was pretty anxious prior to starting, since a lot of people seemed to be making a big deal...

I did it! I aced my summer classes, I got [almost] all the work done on the truck for the trip, and the trip was a success! I got a ton of pics from the trip, and still have to go through them. The truck was great, no issues other than my AC dying part way through the trip (it was patched and...

Just did these on mine with the motor in the truck. Never again. 100% do them while the motor is out.

About once a year I find myself on FB for one reason or another, and I always use a disposable VM for the visit. The last time I checked in on a local 4R group, other than the litany of "OmG just got my baaaaby" posts with an off-angle phone pic of their bone stock 5th gen, I came across one...
