Thanks man. House coming along. Slowly, but surely getting there. Took this pic today after the exterior was painted

I dig that cab spoiler on your truck, fits with the look perfectly

ill be "that guy" but what does the EGR spoiler do aerodynamic wise? will it effect MPG negatively since its moving the air upward instead of smoothly over the truck? do you feel liike it catches and moves your truck side to side?

Purely an aesthetic addition. Been with it about a month now. Haven't noticed any difference or adverse effect

Its kind of cool. I wonder what it would look like if you were to add some LED lights in it. Where the flat part is if you drilled some small holes and inserted some small LED lights you could have all the wiring hidden behind the spoiler itself and then drop a small wire down into the 3rd brake light for power? just a thought. or you could do a CFL strip or LED strip and hide the wires the same way.

i have my 3rd brake swapped out in favor of a blacked out LED setup, so im good there... An LED strip that lights up with braking is cool for those with a reg 3rd brake

How's the house coming?!? Since this is kind of two build threads in one, and with all the houses underwater here in Texas I could use something nice to look at

Ah man AF. God be with you all over there. So sad to see man.
As for the house, well it's coming along. Slowly. Received my expected closing date for sept 25. Started the paperwork. So fingers crossed. I'd say they are around 80 percent done. I'll try to get some pics when I go tomorrow or wed.

Been mia, but I’m back and researching. Thinking of changing my wheel setup. So I’m here to do some research.

So far I’m thinking 20x12 -44 with some 305/55 at. ( looking at Cooper discovery xt/4 )

mpg drop... noise... but above all vibrations at 60-70 mph.. yes i road forced them three times...

I switched to the hankook Dynapros for the same reason. I like them and would but again only 2000 miles so far on them though.
