I found mine 4-5 years ago for like 300 dollars.
It was worth the effort in my opinion.

Played hookey from work while there was a "cold front" and high was only 90 yesterday making garage maintenance palatable.
- Oil change with Penzoil Ultra Platimum 5W-30
- Differential and transfer case oil with the Ravenol fluid kit
- Tire rotation
- Rear brake pads (ran out of time last tire rotation when I did the fronts). They didnt need it but ive had pads sitting on the shelf for like 2 years so figured why not.
- managed to get my stuck front bump stops off without breaking the studs and installed @PerryParts bump stops. Both locations on the front. Not sure I need them but they were a black friday good deal last year so figured I'd try them.
- most importantly I finally removed the 3rd row seats in an effort to plan out the cargo space for my first camping trip with a fridge coming up in a few weeks.

Installed OEM heritage edition headlights. Debating on if it's worth changing the grill. Also mounted some amber BD S2 Pros behind the grill. Used ditch light mounts I had for my Rivian with the same lights that lined up perfectly with the grill placement.

Yeah got them 25% off for a memorial day sale and debated but knew i'd want them one day so went ahead and pulled the lever.
the black background of the HE lights really tie the truck together. Idk about the HE grill or not but, personally, a chrome delete would be my next move.
@zone, see a 2016 in Blue with full Heritage front swap-out in the classifieds. It looks good, especially with side chrome wrapped as well.
This week I changed spark plugs on my '17 and '18 (thanks to whomever linked the magnetic articulating plug sockets recently, they worked great) and changed rear differential fluid in both. Orbital buff for the '18 shined her up nicely.
Next week is for front diff fluid exchange, oil changes, and center diff fluid.

New shoes! Giving the new released KO3 a try
Honestly doesn’t drive any different before and after the spacer install, same ride. I only have it on the front so can’t say if you had the rear spacer on as well, but I’m very happy with it.
I would agree, I’m not off-roading this rig (have a Jeep rock crawler to beat up on) and don’t drive it much as it is more of a weekend vehicle. My goal was simply to give it the look it should have had from the factory and keep all the OEM suspension in place for resale value down the road being a Heritage Edition.
Getting Marty McFly vibes here!
Mission accomplished! Might need to tastefully add some KC lights lol
No picture sadly but it was some kind of wheeling damage caused by stupid me.
Installed new wiring for my rear diff lock a few weeks ago (together with the new actuator and sensor) but didn’t safed/fixed the wiring bc I wanted to get tha cover plates from my parents garage.
Well I didn’t though about it anymore.
Went yesterday with some friends to our grilling spot (some river crossings and steep places) and after coming back the center diff just stayed in place after switching back to 4high. Played a little bit with 4low, rear diff lock and the center diff button….still solid center diff light in the dash.
Well f***. Saw at friends place then that I riped the cables of the sensor. So far so good ok thats the reason. Not too much to do since I am used to this.
Soldered this morning the cables and… you can guess, nothing changed. Ok resoldered the cables to be sure. Still nOk
Measured the whole harness. Still nOk
Shortly disassembled the middle diff actuator to be sure he is fine and jepp he looks fine. Still nOk
Checked all related fuses and changed No. 4. Still nOk… double f***
hooked up the laptop and checked for error codes. Well there had been two but they are related to the drivers side windows (whatever is wrong with them, they work like always, anyway). Still…nOk!!
Now after driving home from some RC plane fun with friends I had the final idea.
Popped the rear diff/ center diff panel, disconnected the center diff switch and disassembled it. Well it one of the two pins looked a good amount lower than the other one. Pushed both with a screwdriver like 5mm up and put everything together.
LC on, press the button and here we are, center diff is off.
Sometimes it is kinda the easiest solution. fml

Lovely! Can they be run at lower pressures than the KO2s?
No, same as KO2

Filled it with 150+ pavers the wife claimed for free on the local page. Took 2 trips, but hey....free.
Man, she looks great! The G003s are the tire I decided on getting in the next couple months. What size are your running?
