    Thanks Guys! A little update... So my truck went in on Monday morning for the Auburn Pro LSD install. They were also doing a Yukon Master overhaul kit at the same time. I was under the assumption this was around a 4 hour job plus or minus a little? They said noooo, we told you to figure for at least 2 days... what? Still not done... they said it would be completed by 3 tomorrow. They wanted to get everything installed properly and run it through several cycles before giving it back to me to assure there would be no problems later. I was only charged $475 for labor plus fluid and shop materials. I'm really liking the idea of thoroughness, but I never planned for this. So I'll be spending the later part of tomorrow installing Bedslide and Diamondback cover, oh and my Fuel Door Trigger! :thumbsup:Auburn Pro build 1.jpg Auburn Pro build 2.jpg Auburn Pro build 3.jpg Auburn Pro build 4.jpg

    It's good this happening but sucks... I missed the opportunity to do a few small plumbing jobs, because of the lack of having the truck. Plus I'm going out of town for the 4th, leaving Thursday morning, and I have a ton of shit to do. The rush will be on! I'll try and get some updated pics before I go, if not at the river. Maybe a little tire roasting too? :burnrubber:

    Yumm, gear oil smell.
    Hmm, wonder if ECGS has a complete 3rd member with the LSD for an easy swap without messing with the gears.

    How's that antenna working for you? I heard mixed reviews on the aftermarket antennas.

    @Tonka007 The Antenna works great, no problems at all. Plus it's flexible... Bends with the wind. Several guys here have this same one.

    There little to next to nothing other than Auburn and ARB. Yukon has very good quality stock rebuild parts for the Tundra.

    Hey @tat2ude39 where did you get the black hood decal? I'm assuming it's a decal but no matter what it looks awesome and think that would look great on my white Pro. Thanks and your build is AWESOME!

    Plastidip? You can do a design with it? Sorry, I'm not familiar with that process.

    Sorry for the delay in response, I was out of town. The hood arrangement ALSO the stripes on the bed sides were done at the shop where I had my windows tinted. It is a 3M vinyl film. Very durable and can be removed if you ever change your mind. I'm really happy with it.

    The all pro sliders look great. Are these the normal stock or did you have them shortened up? They don't seem to stick out as far as other or like the all pro site pictures. I've been considering ordering but would want a little wider coverage for door dings etc

    These are the size for CrewMax length. I can measure when I get back home, but they appear to extend about an inch past furthest curve of door. I did purchase them from All-Pro.

    I'm back after a short leave. A busy month of July with a few little get-a-ways. So I've had a chance to do a little driving on different terrain, sand, deep sand, gravel roads, rocky trails, and a really steep narrow big rock trail, both 4WD and, 2WD with Auburn Pro engaged. Auburn Pro works great, Zero slippage and with these aggressive Coopers I have on, even difficult to spin them. I did have to drive a little ways in reverse to get off the really steep narrow big rock trail. It was a little too uncomfortable for my liking and hard to judge where my front end was at such an incline. I'm still figuring that out on flat ground, lol.

    My Bedslide 1500 install was a waste of time. Fully extended was only about 3 inches past opened tailgate. Ended up sending it back. I'm liking the Diamondback HD cover so far. At times second guessing that decision though too. If I could have a do over, I'd choose a cap like @Wikid Live and Learn, make more money, spend more money?

    I'm hoping to get my Coachbuilder strut spacers and rear shackles installed next week. It's good to be back!

    As it sits now:

    It's good to get out and have some fun. Nice scenery. Truck's lookin good. What's not quite right with the Dback HD? Certainly looks tough/cool. How much weight can you put on it if you needed to. I've never been big on Bedslides but can see their usefulness for some.

    Do the all pro sliders work as a step also or are they to close to the body?

    Sliders can double as steps..maybe not the smoothest, but they work.

    I have seen sliders of many widths. Some wide enough to act as steps and have sheet metal welded on top and sliders that have punched steel welded on top. See @Mike for that style.
