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

Only a few hundred miles in, but So far so good. I ended up with them by mistake, sort of. Duratracs went to 2 ply side wall and i ruled them out. Tire Rack told me these were 3, but when they arrived they are only 2. If that doesnt prove to be an issue i think ill end up liking them for a long time. Great on road manners dry and wet, and so far great trail performance.
You can also tell they are a 45lb/corner tire and not a ~60lb one. The truck doesnt have issues with drivability or pick up.
Yeah i got them for that reason, the rear spray, and, and the rubbing.
My only complaint is the silver hardware. I dont mind the look of some flap. Especially when its working.

Do they use some of the original hardware or their own? Any nuts/bolts/washers can be swapped for black i'm sure.
It comes with all new. Ill swap it out eventually or frankly just tape them off and rattle can them black. I was just in a hurry to get it done.
I ordered a rago bracket but it looks like a model for how to position the solenoid to fit under the hood.
Quick question: does the single arb come with that T connection and the quick connect or did that come from one of the accessory kits?

Single compressor does not come with the quick connect or the T. I had to order the accessory kit, which is annoying because I already had a 25' air hose I was planning to use.

I let it sit in the parking lot while I worked. And I work from home. So it sits.

swapped out the stock TRD pro springs for the Eibach pro lift springs.
Pro tip...make sure you replace ALL parts BEFORE reassembly. One of the large washers that goes on the front strut, on the shaft below the tower fell off and i did not notice it. Found it sitting in cart as i was taking apart the other side. Anyways, had to do it twice. But I did get practice, and have the fronts down to about 30 min per side.
results....front end went from 21" to 23" from center of hub to fender edge.
rear when from 22 to 23 inches.
crappy pics, but it was late at night.

Traded in my '17 Magnetic Gray Metallic for a '22 white. Now I get to start over with a blank slate.

I paid off the loan. I no longer share ownership with the bank.
Paid off my credit cards 2 days ago, then closed the accounts.paying off ¾ of our mortgage next week. Should have that settled early next year and will be debt-free.

Just a note: it's a good idea to keep a credit card or two open even if you don't plan to use them much. It adds to 'length of credit history' which is part of your overall credit score.
ETA: Congrats on being nearly debt-free! That's a great feeling.

I am striving for the perfect credit score of zero. Which I hope to obtain soon.

The weather was finally nice enough to install my wheel rings.
