    Builds Jade Overland build

    Inside the car it seems louder than outside. You can tell it's there, but it's nothing like glasspacks or just chopping the muffler off. It sounds like a true, tuned exhaust. very streetable. I may be hearing it more inside because of all the seats being removed, even though I did some sound...

    None. I cruise around 70 on the highway and it sounds a little louder than stock. The only time it gets throaty is when I'm accelerating. So far I really like it.

    Builds Jade Overland build

    Pulling back into the neighborhood, my steering got harder and harder. When I tried backing into the driveway it was almost impossible to turn. Upon further inspection, when I had the front bumper installed 5 YEARS AGO, the shop had to push the PS lines around to get the Ironman tow point to...

    Builds Jade Overland build

    A couple of weeks ago I went up the Ashville Vehicle Outfitters in Jacksonville (their newer shop) and had a PowerBrake 4x4 X-Line with upgraded pads kit installed. While it was up there I also had them install a Magnaflow Overland exhaust. The truck has some added weight, and I really wanted...

    Power steering hose let go

    So I got everything put back together last night. The new hard line came with a 6 inch rubber hose, so I swapped that out too. When I took the rubber hose portion off is was very cracked and expanded. I'm actually surprised that portion hadn't burst first. Getting the pipe in there was a...

    Power steering hose let go

    I took a Dremel and cut out some of the inner fender. We'll see if I need to trim more when I get the part today. I also grabbed some high pressure hose I'll use to cover the hose, and some metal liner, rubber coated door edge trim for the fender where I cut. Hopefully that's enough to get me...

    Power steering hose let go

    I decided to look for myself today and believe I found the issue. It looks like when the dealer installed the bumper and tow points, they had to move the PS line up out if the way, and didn't see that it was pushed into the metal portion of the inner fender. It took 5 years, but it finally...

    Power steering hose let go

    So I had a big brake kit installed yesterday. It took 5 hours to drive home from the shop, and right as I was turning into the neighborhood the steering didn't feel right. As I went to back into the driveway I could barely turn the wheel. I hop out and the driver's side inner fender is covered...

    I did this build page, but thought I would do a video on the channel as well. If you'd like to check out the build, and the reasons I've done certain things, the video is below. 🙂

    I really appreciate the honest feedback, and I completely agree with you. I intended for the video to be a 2 or 3 part to break the time down, but couldn't find anywhere to do a clean transition. I'm still super new with the YouTube/ video editing thing and working my way though it. This was...

    Builds Jade Overland build

    I spent a long weekend up in Georgia a week ago running the Georgia Traverse. While I've done the track a couple times, I've never been up this time of the year, and I was running it solo. Add to that, this was my first time trying to film the trip. I've always gotten shorter clips with GoPro's...

    Builds Jade Overland build

    I have the multi terrain and it was in mud and sand. Center lock turned on. That usually does the trick. Not this time. I really should have aired down, and I know better, but failed and had to use the boards. I still got out, and it was fun.

    Builds Jade Overland build

    Then yesterday I headed on out to Ormond Beach. I have a section I park at almost every time I go out. It's gotten pretty soft over the last couple times I've been there, and Sunday was by far the worst I've seen. Almost immediately knew it was going to be bad when I turned towards the spot, and...

    Builds Jade Overland build

    I finally got the proper center caps in for the DRX's, so I popped those on this weekend and attended a cars and coffee. Nice time and saw some cool cars. I also had a guy capture the truck all set up who sent me a video, so that was pretty sweet.

    New SLEE Skid plates for GX460

    These look pretty nice! I have the Ironman skids, and while they've been OK, they're not great. Having to remove everything to do an oil change is also a huge pain. I have a few things from you guys, and they've all been top quality, so these may have to replace the Ironman's. I also saw you...
