    I honestly can't say that I have ever felt or heard or otherwise experienced a difference, but maybe I am just not sensitive enough about it.
    Anyway, regarding the interval, I have made it a habit to do it every 5,000 on the 5,000, i.e. at 5k, 10k, 15k etc. That way it is easy to remember, as opposed to 5k from the last service. So, if I miss one for whatever reason and do it at say 12k (I was on a long road trip and missed the 10k), the next one will still be at 15k, and not be 17k, so I can get back to the regular intervals. This way I don't have to always try to remember when the next service is due - I can track it as the next 5k interval is approaching.

    LED licence plate bolt light. Got 4 for $6. Works well for the purpose of seeing my mirror controls. I will put one down below my climate control knobs as well so I can see my usb and aux ports. Tapped into the blue wire in the cargo lights switch. Had to drill a small hole which kinda sucked. If I could do it over again I'd move it further to the right I think.
    I may install a resistor to tone down the brightness a little.

    I was working entire day but came home and saw huge box at front of the garage, so I couldn't wait for weekend so I had to install it
    Instructions are very bad so I decided not to follow directions but install them as most of the people by switching from driver side to passenger and passenger to driver side
    No bothering me rhino logo and would like to know how others eliminate it and fill the two holes?

    You can see them just fine. Didn't want anything too too bright. They shine 360 so you are viewing 180 degrees asoumted.
    More importantly, I was able to mount them without them extening out from the grill and without any physical hardware (they are taped to the grill w 3m outdoor double sided tape).

    Let me know if they do. I want to know the part number so I can have my dealer replace it. They told me to stick a piece of plastic in there..

    Take it to another service center. It's a very common issue. Had done on mine. There's a tsb on it and any tech can pull it up very easily for the part number for the shim kit. Mine already had it done which is why it didnt squeak until I put a jack with the skid between it and the crossmember. Luckily I know a tech who was willing to do a little custom work on it. He fixed it and he already has an idea to put a piece of leather between if it wears thru a d comes back.

    They told me they put some washers, I didn’t get a part number or anything but the sound is gone and they said it’s a common issue.

    Got TRD pro wheels on my truck. Finally got rid of the hideous steel wheels. Shoutout to @crochetjohn for the great deal (his truck is f*cking awesome). For those wondering, 2018 TPMS for the steel wheels can be used on alloy wheels if flipped.

    2018 LED headlights. Initially wanted to dechrome but it grew on me :/ want to get a nice front+rear dash cam soon. Suspension and tires will be the next big mod. Will hold off on that for a while though.

    It was like a popping, sometimes a ding metal on metal sounds, it’s caused by the rear of the skid plate rubbing on the frame.

    Thank you. I may have the same thing going on. The only time I hear it is when I'm coming out of a parking lot or something at a slow speed. It make one ding and then nothing else.
