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

[GIJoe2010]

If all parts come in and time (and weather) permits:

1. Install Recon 3rd Brake light
2. Install wheel spacers and black lug nuts
3. Install black Ram head emblems front and rear
4. Touch up paint on tow hook relocation brackets
5. Build 2 or 3 sets of tow hook relocation brackets
6. Set up and wire up light bar on to bull bar
7. Reinstall lower bumper fascia
8. Look up prices and reviews online for new brake rotors and pads (that won't break the bank)
9. Look up prices and reviews online for a new truck battery

I can give you suggestions for numbers 8 and 9.

8 - PowerStop Z36 Truck and Tow Rotors and Pads. Put 'em on my truck last spring and they've been fantastic.
9 - Autocraft Platinum AGM from Advance Auto - Normally $200, but do a search for one of their 25% off coupons and do a Buy Online/Pick Up In Store to get it for $150. Replaced my original battery with one of these this past summer.

Got my Reb's tired rotated yesterday after work...thankfully, the boys in red and black found a nail in one of my Toyos, so that was taken care of before it created an issue. Since they were doing the work in a bay near the big waiting room windows, my daughter and I got to see the installer set the torque wrench and install the wheels perfectly...love my local DT!

Coincidentally, my employer trains their pilots; the company owns several Learjets.

My go to battery for all my vehicles. Wife's car got one last year and the Ram will get one as soon as it needs one.

Works great, but only if there's enough weight on it! One pizza won't cut it

I dont think theres a weight sensor. I preheat it for passengers regularly

Well, its been the normal drive, punch, fuel, park couple of weeks. I pulled the Pulsar 2 weeks ago just cuz and reinstalled it today. What a blast again..lol. Man I need to get a ECM and proper tune

Had to order replacement fittings for helper bags, cause the tow truck ripped off my original set up.

predat-r, looks sweet!

Sometimes I want to lower my truck a bit... nothing drastic, maybe set the front Bilsteins to their lowest setting. My concern is the rear. I have airlift bags installed for when I tow. I have a 27' travel trailer that I haven't taken out yet, but will multiple times a year once that project is done.

What are you running in the rear? I thought about picking up a spare set of stock rear springs and cutting a coil off. Figured the AirLift bags would still fit and I'd have a slightly lower ride overall. I could add air to the bags to compensate for the cut coil sag.

predate-r,

Do you have a close up of your front end/bumper? What LEDs do you have mounted there?

Two nights ago I brought my truck inside my work shop after hours and put on an Access roll-up tonneau cover. Last week I added the Husky X-act Contour floor mats front and rear. Best mats on the planet imo, lover 'em. And, I'm done spending for a while.

Just dropped the truck off, to get it leveled in the front.

Build 2 or 3 sets of tow hook relocation brackets / What are you building, what are they for? Pics?

A dropped 4x4 is the coolest thing! You see that a lot here in Cali. Are the new wheels rubbing a bunch in the front?

@circuitguy Building them out of 3" angle iron, tow hook relocation brackets. They move the OEM tow hooks outboard (towards the wheels) around 1.5 to 2".

No rub so far at all, took the spacers off.

I have helper bags in tha rear cause i sometimes have to tow my bike on the trailer. Never really off-road except in PA. Nothing serious for sure the rear set up is Belltech 4 " drop no cut springs.

I recovered my seats with katzkin leather. Quite a time consuming process. Worth it for the end result. Truck just feels so much cleaner now.

If I kick mine on without anything on it, it turns off after 30 or so seconds..
