Had a little rub on the bottom of the front fender flares, screwed them back and seems to have fix the issue

I also have the The TM Leveling kit which I`m sure helps as well.

It does look good though! I'll be going with 265/70/17's next time around too. Not a fan of the Nitto's though. All in all though, your truck looks good! I still like that grill guard w/ the IPF lights!

If you keep adding stuff that 3.7 isn't going to move the thing!

I`m still in the process of finding a good jack I like, and that scissor lift has saved my ***. I keep it in the truck for a reason.

those are 3 Ton Jack Stands my friend! I won`t use anything less.
And very nice ones too. must be the color that makes them look cheap.

I do a fair bit of off roading up in northern BC so aggresive tires help.

Thanks! I also love my bar and lights, with the long winter nights up here I use them almost weekly when on the road.

She still pulls all the extra weight! including a 2000lb trailer when I`m out Quading.

Tinting the Tails it is!

I'll just have to do some searching on the best way this is done again.

Those wheels look very good, and nice work on the calipers. NTG's are going on my winter wheels later this year.

Looks like you did a good job of masking up everything around the calipers. I would like to do this but would be worried I would get paint on the rotors and pads
