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

Gave my girl some new shoes and socks. 265 BFG KO2s + Spidertrax 1.25" spacers. Night and day in terms of looks, in my opinion. Slight bit of rubbing at full lock in reverse, but thats nothing a little snipping and cutting won't fix

After getting the window tint on last week, I took her in to get the leveling kit put on yesterday. I really disliked the stock forward rake so it was a priority. My street has a pretty heavy downgrade to the right so doesn't look as level here as it does on a more flat surface but I'm very happy with the results. Now onto some new wheels and tires.

Looks awesome! question about maintenance and reliability in the long term for those spacers?
Anything in particular to look for (wear downs) or any longevity issues to look for?

Thanks!

As for longevity/wear issues...um... well, over the last 18 hours they've held up pretty well. I'll know more in a few months. In all seriousness though, I know I'll want to re-torque them after 500 (I think) miles, and they will likely slightly reduce the lifespan of my bearings. Others who have run them longer will know far more than I
 
Hey Rick, What kind of wheels are those ? seen um on a taco the other day and they looked awesome!
They are Vision Nemesis wheels and they come with replaceable rash rings. They used to be the MB11's but I guess discount rebranded them.

Just remounted my awning and maxtrax today for a 4x run this weekend. I figure the trails should be clear of most people because of the Superbowl so it should be real nice out there. Going to explore some old mines and try to locate some springs that I've been unable to find so far.



Nice!! Are they OD green or tan max traxx? Was thinking of doing white with OD green accents. Any more pics?

Hey, keep that to yourself. LOL. I've had them for 3yrs and haven't seen anyone else with them. Mine are silver though and I painted the ring silver.
 
Got rid of the nfabs, hated the foot placement on them. Got these well because of kids.

They tuck up close to the body, so almost like the factory boards.

They’re OD green. I don’t have any other pics right now. I was throwing them inside when I hit the dirt but decided to mount them outside for this weekend. I will try to take some more pictures this weekend. Looks like we have some similar tastes in vehicles lol. Got a white 17 tt in the driveway also to match your a3.
 
Pulled the fender liners to get rid of rubbing. Less than 5 mins per side! Most of rubbing are gone, but I could still trim the bumper a little bit since its close to the tires when turning. Dont be afraid to do this and fit bigger size tires haha.
