Hello from SW Idaho

Hey everyone, I've been lurking here for a few months, finally pulled the trigger a few weeks ago with all the info I needed to get the lift/tires/wheels that I wanted right from the beginning without getting tooooo crazy. I WFH so don't really need a commute vehicle, main use is home depot, mountain biking, and up and over some of the great BLM land around here.
Wanted a DC for the longer bed, limited was only a bit more than SR5 and heated seats w/leather was a requirement. Almost did TRD-Pro but for about the same price (and heated seats!) decided to go aftermarket instead.

Most of the 4x4 shops around here specialize in Jeeps, and the dealer knew their stuff and gave me a good price, so I had them do all this:
blackout, bedliner, steps, 3" toytec ultimate bilstein 5100, fuel tactics 18x9 +20 grey, ridge grappler 35"
Total height to the sharkfin 82" (6'10")
wish list: tint, matte black grille/bumpers. Probably going to wrap or replace anything chrome, and have that shop do the tint as well. Love the cement/matte black look.

Since everything on the lot out here is TRD package, I'll be putting up my takeoff wheels/tires/shocks in a few weeks when I'm out of 30 day jail.

Thanks to everyone for being here and giving me all the resources I needed to put this all together. Very happy with the results so far and looking forward to seeing some of you on the trails! Would like to run with a group once in a while, if anyone has any recommendations everything I can find is jeep or short-wheelbase which is basically jeep.

nice build man! love those method wheels.

 

Just sold em! Have Icons now, in 17s and 37 tires.

Welcome from Eastern Washington!

 

ahh socal, just left OC about a year ago. Supercharged? hows that working out?

 

Great minds think alike! How has your support/service experience been? Any tips? I really liked their accessories manager Brodie, but apparently he just left right after all my stuff got put on

 

bout time to update that avatar pic, love the army green on your new rig!

 

lol that is the update

 

spokane area? I was just there last year for some rafting, good times

 

your pic shows a black ram for me?

 

I have only been in there for two things. 5k maintenance and to switch out the fog lights.

They told me it was not possible to switch out the fogs. If you look at my build thread, I was able to do it myself. So my confidence in them doing anything out of the ordinary got flushed.

I did the body mount chop, tires, and wheels through Boise 4x4. He did a great job.

The rest of the upgrades I have done myself.

If I did anything that would possibly void the warranty, I would take it by the dealer first.

Here is a link to my build thread if you want to see what I have done.
