    5th gen handling. Tire pressure vs alignment.

    No wife pics coming. It will cost me half of everything if not my life. Lol Thank for the advice. I am playing with tire pressure now but not having much luck. It's not gonna cause a wreck or anything it just more work to drive than my Goat 1500. No lesbo jeep drivers down here but if you...

    5th gen handling. Tire pressure vs alignment.

    5100s are a future option but we road trip tomorrow. Would the 5100s help the nose dive when braking? And could I get more caster with them? All in all we are very happy with the look and does great around town. On hi way, I think it could be a little better. The wife does not notice it at all...

    5th gen handling. Tire pressure vs alignment.

    Thanks Phil. That is just what I was expecting from T4r. But I know some will offer help. It's my wife's rig and if you saw her you would know why I am willing to spend plenty for cool. Lol

    5th gen handling. Tire pressure vs alignment.

    Ron, that was what I was figuring on the caster. I went up on tire psi to 45 and it MIGHT be a little better. Gonna go the other way down to 35 and see what happens. BTW the tires are load range D. I don't think I am gonna spend the $$$ on another alignment until I get new UCAs. It's not that bad.

    Back to blacking out. Now what to do with headlight/taillight chrome?

    Jesse, Exactly what I was looking for!!! Don't know why I did not find it in the search. I assume the tail lights can be done the same way? Thank you

    Back to blacking out. Now what to do with headlight/taillight chrome?

    Just got done changing the door handles to black and Plasti dip the wheels on my wife's rig. Looks great but now all I can see is the chrome in the headlights/ taillights. Is there any way to black that out? I see some HID change outs but they are pricey. I am still searching the site but not...

    Improving stereo sound in 5th gen

    I have not been able to get decent sound in my wifes 5th gen, I installed Kappas in the dash and that helped some but she is not yet satisfied. What would be the next move? I just left a car audio store blinded with a $1200 estimate. I was looking more in the $500 range. I have not found much...

    level kit and alignment

    How bad did your level kit knock out alignment? My 3/1.5 Toytec knocked toe off the charts. Feeling like I got worked at the alignment shop $160 but supposed to be the best around. Had to adjust toe caster camber and reset steering wheel alignment. ouch

    2012 SR5 crappy sound

    My wife 2012 audio system just doesn't sound great. I have read some threads about replacing the front dash speakers and what a big difference it makes. What speakers are ya'll using? What other thing should I do to get a little better sound?

    My wife's poser ride

    Did it myself. Installed and on the road in less than 3hrs from arriving at doorstep. You MUST have spring compressors. Access to a lift helped. Too easy to pay to have it done. I need to get it aligned ASAP.
