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

[TotallyHucked]

I'm very happy with how it turned out. The truck had some kind of leveling pucks on it before, idk how big. But the Bils raised it up roughly 1.5" from what it was, so I'm almost dead level now. The RF is about 1/4-3/8" lower than the other 3 corners but not enough to tell just by looking. It rides great, slightly more firm than before but much more controlled which was the main problem before. The old shocks were so worn out, the thing pitched and yawed all over the place.

It'll be due for tires in a few months, debating 275/65s, 285/65s or 295/65s. They'll definitely be Toyo ATIIIs cuz I love those tires (I've had 2 sets in the past) and they're the lightest on the market at 55, 56 and 63lbs for those sizes. Don't want to absolutely murder my fuel mileage

My wheels/tires weigh 105lbs each lol. I get 14-15mpg on average, even with all my mods. I need some lightweight 17’s and rubber to see how fast it really is.

So right now as I type I am getting 3M ceramic tint all around. 15 front and 50 rear. A friend of my wrenching buddy does it professionally and cut me a deal for sidework.
I just received my hood latch, fobs and harness to do my Remote Start from the Amazonians.
Also last night was the first test of the factory foglight upgrade. It defaulted to no dropout with highbeams. Have to fix that…

Is that all you need for remote start?

Allegedly those components and a connection of one wire in the BCM + AlfaOBD programming. We shall see this weekend. On my ‘17 at least. My truck looks like its wired for it.

If it works out can you send me a list and the link for Alfa info?

Yeah I’ve had heavy 20s and 305/55/20 Trail Grapplers or other tires on old trucks over the years. That tanked the mileage. I think I’ll stick with the 285/65s for this rig. A little beefier size than 275/65 but basically no extra weight
