most of the efi live based tunes have been rough around the edges. my opinion is that tunes were released too early for the cgi engines. now, finally getting the tune polished and running really really well. have one little tweak left for it to hold 3rd to 32 - 33 mph and that's about it.

Oh ok, that's way beyond my abilities.

Washed last week's snow off today. Added a set of Nfab wheel-to-wheel side steps a few weeks ago.
Years ago we were camping, and I slipped off of a wet tire while standing on it to reach over a bed rail on a Nissan Titan. My ribs were sore for a couple of months.

They are an average OEM tire... nothing wrong with them.
They are a mild AT tire and seems folks don't like them as they are not 'aggressive' enough... <shrug>

May as well ask why put on a lift kit, and off-road suspension when it will never see a technical off road track.
I had no issue with traction as i knew the limits they had with that tread pattern my issue was at 9500km (6000mi) the rears were at 1/2 tread i would have rotated at 5k but when i saw the tread depth at that time i knew it was pointless.... so in my mind thats why they are junk i did at least get 500$ from a crack head for em lol

Color matched my grille surround and started my black out look. All badges replaced. Found a great deal on a set of Laramie wheels. Just plastidipped the wheels for now. Ranch hand sport rear bumper being installed now. Midnight front on order.

Looks great! Did you prep and paint the original chrome or purchase paintable trim? What’s your plan for the bumpers?

Thx! I prepped and painted the chrome. Scuffed it up and used self etching primer, 3 coats(2 cans), then base coat, 4coats(1.5 cans) and 2k clear, 3coats(2 cans). Got the base from Automotive touch up. Rattle canned everything. Don't have a spray gun. Already replaced the rear with the Ranch Hand sport and I have the Ranch Hand Midnight front on order. Icon stage 1, 2.5 inch lift kit on order as well as Smitty Built 12k synthetic winch. Wish that midnight bumper was on hand. Ended up driving through a dust storm passing from NM into AZ and smacked into a huge tumble weed. Paint work held up but the stem cracked my grill. Once everything is in I'll order tires.

I didn't necessarily do it, but a huge tumble weed attacked my grille on I-10 rolling through high winds and dust storm traveling from NM to AZ. Tried to dodge as many as I could, but one got me. Glad my paint job I did 3 days prior on the grille surround held up.

You know I have to admit that my only knowledge about tumbleweed comes from watching cartoons and western movies. I never thought that they could do that kind of damage.

Are you just kidding?

They're especially good at starting vehicles on fire.
