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

Well, I enjoyed the nice Metro Phoenix weather today. I installed my new Odyssey 34R PC1500 battery. Didn't need a new one yet, but I will be installing a winch soon. Also installed a set of spidertrax that I purchased from a forum member 2 years ago. See pics above, mine look the same. I am getting a number of parts line-xd; more improvements coming soon.

At full turning, are you rubbing in the front of the fender liner or the rear?
I’m getting some rub. Just haven’t had the chance to look and see where it is
 
finally replaced the OEM tires on my 2011, made a bigger difference than the bilstien shocks a couple years ago, same size but they look wider, no more nose dive and constant bobble head wobble. I am kicking myself for waiting this long. :pop2:

I have a lift already. I don't believe it will rub with my stock tires. I have a set of off road tires: KM2 in 255/80/17. At 33", I expect that they will rub. I am adding more weight to the front, then I will see how much I need to adjust the coilovers. Then I will align again. I have the JBA UCA's, they help reduce rub on the body mount, I believe. I fully expect to need a BMC and fender trim when done, just waiting to see. :eyebrows:

Happy Thanksgiving to All!

Replaced the OEM battery with an Interstate MT7-34R. At 87,500 miles and 4 years, it died twice on me with only about 5 minutes of accessory use. I'm probably a little taxing on batteries from using ham radios - sometimes I have used the radios without the truck running (13A draw while xmitting).

BTW, both times it died, the Microstart XP-10 jump pack worked great!

The discoloration is the 'Corrosion Protection" that the installer put on without asking me first. Stained my nice new battery :mad:
