Installed my new CVT Mt. St. Helens......only after an exhaustive removal of my Front Runner roofrack.

I'll be selling off the stock stuff shortly!

Did the 866's give you the stance you were looking for?
 
Just off the Truck.

Yes, they sure did. Actually at first I had planned on not doing the T-Bars on the front, but once we got things together the rear end was up pretty high. Between the age of the t-bars, adding the winch and bumper, the nose was really low. I also hadn't planned on doing the winch initially, but I got a good deal on the M8000 so I popped for it. Doing that caused me to also do the T-Bars, get them indexed correctly and cranked up to a slightly forward rake. I am getting the RTT mounted shortly, so depending on how much it sags, I might have to drop the front down just a hair. (I actually don't think it will sag at all, based on me standing on the back bumper)

Thanks against those 866s!
 
Nothing exciting...oil change and some other basic maintenance items. Also shipped out a part in preparation for some new parts next month.
 
Removed the entire roof rack. Going to have it powder coated tomorrow. After 11 years it looked a bit beat up!
 
Finally fixed the rattle that really brother me. I thought it was pass air bag area, instead it was a loose door panel on the front pass side.
 
35's mounted. Jerry cans delivered. Slotted and drilled rotors with ceramic pads. Full review on the rotors/pads after install.

PowerStop rotors/pads? I have had major issues with the noise generated by ceramic pads. Any dirt/dust creates havoc for me. Let me know if you experience the same.

Jonesy's Auto rotors with the Evo Ceramics. I'm not aware of anybody running this kit. For the money, I'll throw caution into the wind and run them for a little bit. The quality seems top notch, everything looks to be fabulous quality.

Installed the LabRak light mounts tonight. I've been on a mad roll with my truck recently. I think I caught the mod bug again.

Ditched the mommy-mobile running boards and installed OEM front mud flaps. Looks leaner and meaner now.

Still not used to that first step when I get out. It's a long ways down when you've had running boards for the last ten years.

Waiting for the wife to notice!
 
Installed wheelskins cover, some new Toyo Open Country AT2's (285 75 16) tires, and have full set of brake motive rotors/ pads planned for tomorrow. I'm very happy with the tires. They
are much quieter and stable than the P rated tires they replaced. Only regret is I wish I would have went with 295's...
 
Drilled a couple of holes in the drivers side guard.

Some pictures to proof it.

Didn't have a hole saw so drilled many small holes in a circle.
