I'm running the LFD hybrid bumper and winch with Eibach #700 springs. It rides higher than expected, so I'm thinking a heavier winch would settle it down to a 2.5 inch lift. I can stand on the current bumper and we don't get any significant drop.

About to have the same shocks installed. Set the fronts at the same height. Are you level with the added rear spring kit? I bought a 1 1/2" spacer for the OEM spring. Think I might still have 1/2" of rake.
Sorry new member and can’t post.
Any one can help please.
I tried resetting my computer today (my airbag light is permanently on my dashboard) by taking off the battery. When I put it back on I have power but my car idles for 10-15 seconds then turns off. I still have lights and power. Could it be the alternator? Or is it a bad battery possibly? Or is the computer trying to re program itself
Thank you

make sure your battery terminal are on tight...then go get it tested at auto zone for free
Browsed the Overland Warehouse site (for the 100th time) looking at the 2.5 kit and wondering if that or Icon is the way I wanna go.
What kind of front bumper guard is that I have a 2012 limited and super hard to find a low profile one with a winch.
Got my code reader mentioned a P2111 throttle lid open.
Going to try and clean it out tomorrow morning with some cleaner and see if that helps. It won’t let me drive it motor turns off after 30 seconds or trying to idle,
Really don’t want to tow it

mounted my pelican case to my thule crossbars. used the t-track system to create a nice clean install and used bonded sealed washers to create a weathertight seal. threw the recovery / emergency / air compressor gear up in there and now it stays out of the truck. best part is I don't lose the ability to mount thule accessories (bike racks, cargo boxes, etc.)

Agreed! I'm waiting for it to warm up a bit then I'm going to 'dip my valances and all the chrome emblems. I had the valances wrapped on my previous one, but figure for a fraction of the cost I'll try the plastidip route, since it's easily reversible.

After everything settled, I still have about an inch of forward rake at the frame and two inches at the wheel wells (which is similar, but maybe slightly more level then what I had stock). Given that we load up and tow a trailer all summer I wanted to keep a bit of rake to avoid the "squatting dog".

I think it's, "A grinder and paint will make a welder what he ain't." But who am I to talk, I have difficulty using JB Weld!

Did the Subaru tweeter replacement based off of this: https://www.toyota-4runner.org/3575839-post33.html
Before:
After:
Sound is noticeably better, but we'll see when I give it a thorough test on a drive later.
Protip: If you do this, I'd STRONGLY recommend taking the entire bracket out with the phillips head bolts instead of trying to take the speakers out of the bracket while in the truck. Otherwise you will probably break something because those bolts are ludicrously over-tightened. I nearly hurt myself trying to get them out of the bracket outside of the truck because of how tight they were.
You liking the sound quality so far?

And with just adding “oil, gas, and tires “ (plus a few toys) I bet[emoji106]

Hope you like silver freckles on your black valences... I did this and it didn't last too long as any rocks on the road find there way to your valence and chip it revealing the silver underneath.
I went ahead and bed lined mine.

Replaced my Subaru Kickers with these from a post by tonymac*.
Amazon.com: MB Quart FKB108 Formula Series 2-Way Coaxial Speakers (3.5"), 9.90in. x 5.90in. x 2.80in. : Electronics
The passenger side was a little tough because it fit hard down against the vent duct, bit it did work.
I didn’t use any bass blocker capacitors because these are 2-way speakers. Glad I tried that. The difference was dramatic!
They really bright a fullness to my Kenwood that was missing even though I’d changed out the door speakers.
My Subaru Kickers will be for sale soon.
