    Has anyone removed their front lower grille?

    I was installing tow hooks, so that made it harder. Pushed it through first in the middle and back as far as it would go there. Then just had to push real hard on the ends (used a nylon tool) to get it in. It is pliant enough and so does the bumper fascia to make it work, but sure makes you...

    Has anyone removed their front lower grille?

    Just did this. Agree they’re a total pain. I had the truck on ramps and could sit up behind the bumper. Started in the center top, push down the clip and pull on the insert. You want to pull it just past the point where it is clipped. Keep pulling but move over a clip, you’ll be able to pull...

    What did you do with your 4th Gen this week?

    And tow hooks are installed! Thanks to Deepjeep85 for the relocation brackets. Worked perfectly! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What did you do with your 4th Gen this week?

    Mounted my full sized spare (285/75r17 on Rebel wheels) in the bed using the Rigid Hitch in-Bed Spare Tire Bracket (RHTC-35L). Some modifications were needed: 3/8” stainless rivnuts in floor and front bed rail, drilled a new hole in the bracket for mounting to the bed rail to raise the tapped...

    CB/HAM Antenna mounting - Unique options?

    I’ll either just put the NMO cap on or insert a rubber plug when I trade it in. Doubt the dealership will ever notice. Good point on trees though. I’ve whacked it pretty good a few times. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    And since Tapatalk only allows one pic per post... added a 100w solar panel to charge a 50Ah battery pack in the camper that runs my fridge. Battery pack has a West Mountain Radio Epic PWRgate, which is essentially a mini UPS that can power devices from battery, power supply (alternator) or...

    Swapped the factory molded (useless) mud flaps for Duraflaps. XL in the front, regular in the rear. Work much better. They sent the wrong ones for the front (designed for the plastic factory spats), but they’re shipping replacements out for free. Great service. Sent from my iPhone using...

    Stick to it. I managed to get $1100 CAD for a 2010 set with 2 year old snow tires earlier this year. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    CB/HAM Antenna mounting - Unique options?

    Drill the roof. I install a Larsen NMO 2/70 for my ham radio. Pretty sure they make them for CB whips as well (actually they sent me a CB whip originally instead of the 2/70). A few things to watch out for in the roof structure (measure twice!!). I have a thread on the install on the forum...

    Got it dirty running some back roads after (what I’m hoping is) the last snow of the year. Loving this setup. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What did you do with your 4th Gen this week?

    Thanks! Never stood them side by side, but on paper the BFG’s are 1.1” larger in diameter than the Toyos... so I should be sitting at most a half inch higher. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Size mostly, plus the Toyos were about 4 years old (didn’t seem to concern the guy who bought them off me though...) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I’m upgrading from a ground tent, so it’s pretty great. Super quick setup, lots of room and comfy. Plus when I’m not camping it’s just like a regular truck cap and I can use the bed normally. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
