    Purchasing an ADS 2.5 Coil Over with remote reservoir for front and 2.5 Piggy Back with reservoir for rear. Stock leafs for now. Probably going with Camburg uniball 1.5" performance UCA's
    I got my 2018 with about 40k miles in early 2020 for 33k with only a block lift and aftermarket tires/rims. So far I've put 2.5" ADS Coilovers with the reservoir in the front with 1.5" Camburg Performance Uniball UCA's and 2.5" Piggyback style shocks in the rear. I plan on getting then U748 Deavers in the rear soon. Went with Stealth Fighter front bumper with 10" Aurora Amber bars in the side brackets and a 40" Curved Rough Country Light Bar. Hidden in it is a 10k Smittybilt winch with the wireless controller, went with steel cable, because AZ sun eats away everything. 6" Dirty Deeds Exhaust, S&B Cold Air Intake, Backflip MX4 bed cover, TRD Pro skid plate and Cat Security heavy duty skid and theif deterrent. Sequential tail lights with LED back up lights. Now has 18" Method NV 207 wheels wrapped in 35x12.50r18 KO2's. I have 20" Fuel Assault Wheels with brand new BFG KM3's on them they are awesome looking but wanted an All-Terrain Tire. So if anyone wants to see my other wheel set up let me know, need to sell before I move to Kingman. Currently in Tucson.

    I'm looking for a good group of people to hit some trails with in Arizona every once in a while. The guy who owned it was a part of AZ Tundras and I still have the sticker on my back window.20220202_160455.jpg

    Welcome!!!! Look up proper greasing methods for upper control arm uni balls.

    I spray mine with a pressure washer and then let it dry and then use triflow just saying

    Thank you, I was very surprised it wasn't taken haha. I'm truly not a part of the group, nor do I use any social media so I can't even communicate with them. I wouldn't mind removing it. I appreciate you pointing me in the right direction for some locals!

    That was right after a friend helped me install everything, I told him I didn't want traditional grease but he figured he was doing me a solid. I now do the same thing with the pressure washer and a dry Teflon based lube.

    The “ghost clear” made me take a close look… I’d have called them alien.

    No - you do not need more color diversity. Owner to owner. From a photo/journalist perspective....:yes: more color diversity

    Awesome, not too far from me. Wish the bench seat option didn't prevent getting the larger gas tank for peice of mind, I do love the front bench though lol.

    If I had a crazy amount of multi-colored lights on my truck all UFO style, alien nuts may fit. But I'm gonna stay away from the nuts lol.

    My Westcott Designs slider should be done soon, the steps I currently have on my truck look cool but are being eaten alive. One year in Pinetop caused rusting and another chunk comes off after every adventure. I need real sliders to feel safer and not hurt the best vehicle I've ever had.

    I'll try not to comment too much, you have a 3rd version truck vs. my 1st. But, in general, you know the deal, those raptor steps are only good if you only use them to step. I see Jeeps with the same ones and wonder...

    OP has a nice truck, looks like a lady. I'm not sure he needs any help. Or her. But maybe sliders.
