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

I forgot to add, I have purchased Air Lift 1000 today with Hella Supertone Horns this morning.

Installed the horns, pretty easy took me 30 minutes in the cold here up north !

Also got myself a Red D-ring , going to do some all out black/red mix this summer once I move in the new house ( WITH a GARAGE ! ) lol already told the wife nothing gets in the garage except my crap. She can have everything else in the house.

Brand new in construction going to be ready in June. Can't wait.
 
Hi man, can you please tell me what tires you rock and what spacers. I really like the look and I want to get some bigger tires once I lift my truck. I have all the parts just need to gather up some more cash and find the time to do the install.

Sure. Theyre 285/70/17 Nitto Trail Grapplers with spidertrax 1.25" spacers all around.
 
Went over 10,000 miles on a run through the Orilla Verde Recreation Area located within the Río Grande Del Norte National Monument. Runs along the Rio Grande just south of Taos.

Very interested in this install as I am on course for being HAM licensed myself. May not go with this beast of a radio, but it will be fun to see! Be sure to update :pop2:

I will. I was gonna get it done today but work kicked me in the nuts and I remembered I have an external speaker at home that I want to use.

Been struggling the the HAM mount myself. For now I have a older Yaesu and will use it on a bean bag and a mag mount antenna while stationary and use a hand held while mobile. Did not want to drill a hole in the roof of a 2016 trail with less than 500 miles on it. Thought about mounting the mobile direct to the top of the dashboard but again could not drill the holes in a brand new rig. Did an in dash mount with my previous Yukon and loved it. But it looks like you did the right thing with the detachable. May have to go that route. Ham Radio Outlet here I come!

The hood of the 5th gen supports a "trunk lip mount" NMO base like a boss. No holes.

I installed a Malone Katahdin roof rack. Eventually I will go with a better more expensive rack. I got a good deal on this one.

Spent about an hour and a half working on the bumper, tomorrow night I have help, optimistically we will finish... Realistically I can finish on Saturday if need be... :der:

Now that I'm carrying the kimber, I'm using my kahr for back up. Using a aegis armory Guardian trigger guard.


I thought about putting my G23 in the same place, but you have to be a contortionist to reach the thing.....if your a lefty it makes sense.
