    If I put a Toytec Boss lift on my truck and keep the factory wheels and tires for now, will it...

    A. ..look ok or bad lifted and w/ 285/5520 tires?

    B. ..be ok with stock UCA since it's factory TSS wheels offset and won't stick out too far?

    C. ..still need an alignment since I'm keep wheels and tires the same?

    A- Those tires will look tiny.

    B- You can keep stock UCA's but it is definitely recommended to replace them to get proper alignment.

    C- Yes you still need an alignment. Alignments have nothing to do with which wheel and tires you have.

    Don't worry about A. It's just a step in the transformation. I'm probably going to rock new wheels on the stock rubber, then lift, then get some meaty tires. Gotta do what ya gotta do.

    Yeah obviously I wish I can do it all at once but just can't. And I figure it's a must to at least do the lift first because I can't add larger tires first without the lift.

    I just notice more and more how low my front end looks and wish it was a little taller.

    20170805_203918.jpg Sorry boys for letting ya down this weekend didn't have time to do the install of everything. Despite the great packaging, FedEx still managed to do a number on it. I didn't notice it until I really took everything out and looked close at things. I spent yesterday with a rubber mallet straightening some metal and some krylon rust proof textured black rattle can to match the powder coat. Planning now to install all one shot for this Saturday coming up after work. For the letdown on my end I'll let u all see 1 product out of the bunch. Trust me there's alot more than this. There's a whole other box besides this one that I couldn't let u see without giving it all up. What 1 product you see here in white and red as part of a whole bunch of other goodies in this box is a 30" BD s8 lightbar in clear that I'll run the amber backlight feature when not really turned on tied into my DRLs. It's not installed yet, just felt bad for letting some down who were expecting to see it all like I was shooting for today. I also need to decide if I want to use the separate switch I already have tied into cab for the true on/off or just simply tie into highbeams. Any suggestions? Think it will be easier to tie into highbeams, not sure if I'd like the ability to turn on and off separately from highs plus then need to take extra step to turn off via switch to not blind others rather than just turn off highs from stalk? Where I live and getting called into work during some crazy weather and times when no one else on road I'm thinking I will be using it on the road for the extra visibility. I'm leaning toward just tying into highs that way I can use more often and easier without needing to hit the separate switch every time. Any thoughts, opinions, or suggestions on the wiring? Sorry n tnx in advance.

    Did this today.

    Started with this.
    20728201_1623831320962324_61870863495892_33b2b88f5e4cb22b1960c8b40a8f7df1d7272d96.jpg

    Other than the quick release mount https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NN80YFC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and the plastic knobs https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A9N54FE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 that fit the T-slot nuts for the rail system, everything else was bought at a local hardware store.

    Cut to length and sprayed with PlastiDip.

    Mounted to the rail.

    Only sticks out about 5 inches.

    Totaled out to around $120 with the extinguisher.

    If I don't like how it sits later, I have plenty of the hole bunch metal that I can make new mounts for and have the extinguisher tucked out of the way closer to the bed side.

    I’m right where I need to be
    Vehicle:
    Voluptuous Whitey
    Installed my shovel, ax, and maxxtraxx by bolting it all to my @RCIoffroad bedrack.

    It ain't like being at home where I'm headed. Big city, bright lights brings on them boys that like to take stuff that's not theirs. I'm hoping everything being bolted on will deter them. If I end up camping with @dcsleeper408 and @joonbug then I'll definitely need security. I might need to take @4x4_Angel for "security forces" back up20170814_182139.jpg 20170814_182028.jpg 20170814_181955.jpg

    You guys and the retrofits. Damnit. Seriously considering this. I probably should have looked into it more prior to buying the Recons.
