    Before I buy this, does anyone know of any reason this wouldn’t work for a 2017? Sparks shows it for 2019-21 models.

    Get the motiv wrench and fumoto valve. Then there's a thread to add a door to your stock skid for the oil filter somewhere.

    Delivered today, hoping within the next two weeks it will be installed. After this and my rear elocker install I will have the coolest trunk on the planet in my eyes.

    I have waited for this day since January 7th of 2017 which is the day I bought my truck. It took this long to save enough on the side and breakdown the wife.

    I used it as a leaning thing for my three kids, work hard, save your money, do the right thing and you can get things you want.

    Sorry, I’m rambling but this is a big day for me and if any group of people can understand, it’s all of you.

    Yes please
    I will try and remember to get one tomorrow.
    Yea, I lifted the rear about 3in, sway bar was sitting at at about 110 degrees now its closer to 80 degrees. I think ideal would be at 90 degrees.

    Your payload should be something like 1200 lbs. So 1500 in mulch plus you plus whatever else you got (floor mats, passengers, etc...) puts you quite a bit past what an engineer said was safe and rated the truck for.

    No judgement. Just FYI if you weren't aware.

    Finally put my Bilstein 6112 together on 1.9” setting. I plan to install them Thursday it’s supposed to cool down to 68. I’m going to do 2 shims on driver and 1 on passenger. My current 5100 are on top setting and they’re stiff so I think the 1.9” will be good.

    Been a long couple of days pulling trim, making holes and running wires. Got a RedVision display head installed in the overhead console. Mounted it to the useless card holder panel. It will monitor and control the rear lithium battery system, and solar and ac inputs.

    Looks sweet. I was looking at that same rack with tonneau brackets. Do those tonneau brackets mount to your bed rail tracks? You mind taking a pic of how they mount under your tonneau?

    These particular brackets don't mount to the rails since the rail is lowered by the Revolver X4 cover. I think KB Voodoo has a set of longer brackets that mount to the rails. That said, here are some photos from RCI's website as I didn't take any before putting the tonneau cover back on. The tonneau cover basically clamps in the z-brackets (you can drill through the top down through both brackets for added support), and I'm surprised at how solid it is without drilling them in. I'll try to take some photos

    I did use blue loctite on the feet for the rails and the bracket bolts.

    Might have to try them out if I can make them look as clean as yours. Did you take the lights out before painting or did you mask off/any other recommendations?

    It wasn’t easy but at the end of the day, I have put my family’s needs first for the past 18 years and my wife knows how much I wanted this upgrade and that is that really.

    I took them all out. I sprayed thr VHT very lightly, therefore you could immediately tell it was a home-job. That’s where an application of 1k clear coat comes in. It smoothed out all of the small bumps that spray on smoke leaves. I also suggest sanding it with 1000grit or lighter. I used 500grit on the passenger taillight and it required 3 coats of clear instead of one like the driver
