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

no doubt. I plan on adding UCAs in the future but my post was meant more for those people coming back here with < 2 in caster.... its all about the alignment shops skills. Next step for me will be SAW1.5" coils and LR UCAs. The daystar spacers did the trick but I only got about 1" out of them and the rig is dead level. I want a touch of rake and higher spring rate for when I load the back down.
 
The lights look sweet, but they are in a very vulnerable spot (at least they are for the way I drive). &#55357;&#56841;

LOL....

Not a bunch of large rocks here in LA, so I'm not too worried about them. Besides, I put these Rigids smaller than the originals....

BTW, Rigid makes flush mounts that will fit into the bumper with a little cutting involved...really nice.
 
Spoke with the insurance. Its now going to be Monday before they get back to the body shop to reinspect my truck for the supplemented damage.

Truck has been sitting at the body shop since the 19th because the insurance is dragging their feet.

Tired of driving this Ram 1500 they gave me.
 
What did I do today? Drove around to body shops to get estimates!

I was working in the garage (installing my Ham radio) and had the lift gate open. I forgot to close it before closing the garage door. The quick disconnect arm gouged the lift gate (almost the entire length from the glass to the bottom) very deeply (some places all the way to the metal). On the bright side there was only paint damage and no dents...

2015 Trail with less than 1500 miles on it. :frusty:

If this is your first...congratulations. Changes your life...

Thanks bud, it definitely does that! This will be our second boy. We were getting stuff out of storage from the first little guy to get ready for the boy on the way. It's amazing how much stuff something that small requires.

Yeah, I had one, and stopped at that. I don't know how I could even handle 2, but I guess maybe it's my impatience that he also inheritended*sp's all over the board*
 
Installed the RAM mount for my phone/tablet.

You reminded me that I forgot to hit checkout a week ago on my Amazon order for my tablet for my overland trip. Needless to say, they ended up getting an extra 26.00 for extra shipping to be here by Wednesday. Nervous...some. But the RC crawlers are now ready to go =).
 
Thanks metaltech4x4

Installed MT sliders.. Best thing about it was that it was a straight bolt onto the frame, took me about 45 minutes or so to get both sides on with the help of the wifey...The sliders itself weighed in at about 75lbs each and built very well, came in powder coated in the inside and out.... the company was great to work with and they also gave me a military discount.... Thanks guys!

First of all thank you for your service...

And secondly. I love mine but I do suggest putting some nonslip tape on the rails; so you don't slip when it rains and using it as a step.

You really don't have to thank me for the service, when you see those soldiers that lost limb's and lost there lives, thank them, because they paid the ultimate price of freedom, thank you for the gratitude none the less as I love what I do.... that idea is one hell of a good idea! I have 3 little kids that hop onto the back and I could use it.... Will be buying them today....Much appreciated !

It worked out sort of well that my DO sliders showed up with a big marred section on the top of the sliders, so we put grip tape on the top rail.

Great way to avoid yelling at the shipping company that put the blemish up top, and functionally it's great. I could see how slipping would suuuuuck.
 
Finally got around to putting the Anti-Dark Under Hood lighting in on the Runner.

Installation was easy and painless, and I'm pretty happy with the result.
