Ceramic coated and installed Apex valves on the wheels before getting tires this week.

New braky brakes on the front.

One of the pistons on the front right was kaput and unfortunately you need to replace calipers in a pair.

I also had a new OEM battery installed and the alternator replaced (reactively, it broke down).

Oh, I convinced my wife that we need a roof rack on the condition that I lose 10 kg so... Which I guess it's a good deal ?!?
 
Are these the stander or XL Apex? Work with TPMS?
I went with Standard length for this wheel. The XL would have stuck out beyond the rim face. These are compatible with a couple of TPMS sensors. However, I am using the stock ones with a wheel strap. I ordered the tires this morning when I was at Discount getting a nail repair on Tesla. Tires should arrive Friday. I will mount them up Monday or Tuesday next week.

I don’t think our tpms will work. I could be wrong tho.

I am not mounting them directly to the Apex valve. I am mounting the factory TPMS on a wheel strap.
 
Shaved off 80 unnecessary pounds for my use. Just need to order a new rubber liner and some tie downs for dog kennel.

I'm a little ahead of you, and stuck. I pulled the seats, got the HE mat, but I can't figure out a clean way to tie down a Ruff Land kennel -- I don't want straps going diagonally across to the other side of the cargo area, cutting off that storage. But I haven't figured out how to go straight down from the side of the kennel -- it's past the near third row bracket, but not over to the far one . . . . what kind of tie downs are you planning? Thanks

I’m not 100% sure until I get the kennel tomorrow. But, it looks like I’ll need to slice a couple areas in the rubber mat for the hooks to fit through. Picking up my new pooch on Wednesday, so hopefully I have with figured out by then 😳
 
What rear springs did you go with here specifically ? I’m looking for a 1 inch lift in the rear but soft and comfy like stock. And did you need aftermarket upper control arms w this lift? Thanks!!
I did this full kit.... which comes with 1 set of Pro Forge Upper Control Arms. the kit is adjustable on the lift - did about 1.5" out the door with a slight height differential in back for "load" - feels like after our trip to colorado this past week and putting on about 2K miles since I had it done that its settled a little to close to about an inch maybe more as the "lift"

And I'm just behind you, my 2021 Mag Gray/Terra base is "built and in transit to the port" need to strap down my Ruff Land Kennel as well, will be watching for your solutions.

That's slick placement!
Thanks.

I really wanted to put it between the MTS knob and the ECT PWR/2nd Start button, but despite the blank space there's actually a wiring harness behind it, so this will have to do

Hmmm. Gives me an idea as
I would love to move my ECT/Power switch. It sits flat next to the shifter and always get inadvertwntly changed...

Yeah, it's not actually possible, sadly. I should've taken a photo but the entire area from the MTS knob all the way to the seat heater is one giant plastic piece with wiring inside it.
