I did steering stuff today. I got the new steering rack in without throwing any tools BUT I forgot to get the oil housing oring so I had to order it and I’m still waiting on the pump. If fed ex doesn’t let me down , tomorrow I’ll be done. I did manage to get the old rack out without lifting the engine but Im also really good at Tetris and puzzles. I did however receive my icon pros today and to my surprise were not damaged considering the lack of packing. So to celebrate I orded some tires so I have something to look forward to next week. Then on to the globes.

What are the symptoms of having spent steering rack bushings? I’m worried my 244k 06 LX is going to start having issues like that at some point. How many miles is on yours? Do you go off roading a lot?
I was highly interested in one of their systems but it says it doesn’t work with my 06 model which I didn’t find out until after I bought the vehicle last July
Think it could be modded to fit the 2006-2007 revision?
Sloppy steering, maybe VSC light and beep during a sweeping turn. If you look at the steering rack while someone else turns the wheel the rack itself should not move at all, just the inner/outer tie rods. I had to replace mine around 280k, but there is a wide range where people do it.
If you Jack up your front end and turn the wheel, the whole steering rack will shift in the mounts. It’s not supposed to do that. I have 343,000 miles, so I guess it was only natural that it should’ve worn out at some point. I try to hit a trail every 30 days or so. I don’t tackle the big rocks, but I don’t baby it on the dirt, gravel, and washouts. I set the suspension dampening to comfort and stay around 20-30 MPH unless there’s a bad curve, really steep descent, or a bad hole or bump. I only ever use sport dampening on the highway and usually keep it one setting softer.
The shop got my new rack 8n today, but they didn’t get to the valve cover gaskets yet so I’ll have to wait until Monday to get it back. I am going to have them return my old rack and sell it with the new bushing kit. Don’t know what a fair price is yet, but I’d like to recover some of my costs.
I’m not sure what the difference is. I think there were some minor mods needed on my 05 but nothing major.I was highly interested in one of their systems but it says it doesn’t work with my 06 model which I didn’t find out until after I bought the vehicle last July

You could call The Truck Shop, they sell the tanks and seem to have lots of experience with them. They could probably tell you what is needed on the 06I was highly interested in one of their systems but it says it doesn’t work with my 06 model which I didn’t find out until after I bought the vehicle last July

A solution for the larger main tank is in the works.

Super useful! That was a dark moonless night and I had to move a ton of stuff around to get my sleeping situation situated.That LED kit looks useful
For funsies, here's a side-by-side of the original (top) vs the new (bottom):
Added a 12k Superwinch, installed new window slides.
New headlights acquired! OEM or bust! The ones on the truck are cracking as you can see. They are going to make it looks much newer! And Thanks to Daniel Stern on here for the bulb suggestions!
There is truth to this. I read a test where they measured drag on a dirty Porsche and a freshly waxed one, the waxes one has a lower coefficient of drag making it faster around the track

Do a retrofit and you’ll enjoy driving it even more. Especially night driving.
