One Day At A Time

[robski85]

Several years ago I made the mistake of trading my truck in for a Jeep... After 8 year, a Jeep Wrangler and Kia Soul, I'm back in a truck! I picked up a 2019 last year once I finished a stint in LA going to USC for work... So glad to be back in a truck!

I promised my wife no mods for at least a year (which will be up in 4 weeks) and I'm looking forward to beginning the process!

I started small with tinting the windows, bed liner, stripping the chrome badging, painting remaining badging black and pulling front mud guards.

Up next will be a Readylift 2" Level w/ UCA's and 285/75R18 Falken A/T3W's, I'm going to keep my stock 18's since they're black and I love the look!

It’s always nice to see another Billet silver person.

So after research and reading through previous posts, I think I'm going to pivot and go with the Cooper AT3 XLT in 275/70R18 and Coyote 2" Wheel Spacers in lieu of the Falken Wild Peaks in 285/75R18's. The bulk of my driving will be on-road with the exception of to our family cabin 2 hours north, and we won't be towing but a few times a year to put the ski boat in at the cabin and pull it out at the end of the season so I don't think spacers (hub-centric) will be much of an issue with minimal towing either. I think the slightly smaller size will allow the spacers to run smoothly w/ stock 18's and not affect performance. Possibly will look at the Borla S-type exhaust, but that may be tabled until August... Moving forward, one day at a time!!!

I must admit, I went back and forth with the silver but I'm glad I stuck with it!

Tires and Level kit have been ordered and will be installed Wednesday/Thursday. Next up, is removing the front air dam.

^^^Nice, is there a reason that you are removing the front air dam ?

A combination of looks and function. We get pretty deep snow here and at our cabin in the winter and washboard, bigger ruts in the summer. I like the idea of more clearance in front. From what I’ve read, removing it isn’t overly difficult and I won’t lose much in the way of performance.

Level and tires installed today! Love the look. I will be swapping the sides to run white letter out instead of black (miscommunication) but otherwise love it. Next will be air dam/valence removal.
