Called the dealer again today to get yet another appointment for the window bounce-back crap. I just had it in for the same thing on July 24th which was only eleven days ago. It happened to passenger side window a couple of days ago and to the driver side window today. Today it took three attempts just to get the f'n thing to stay closed. I'm going to request that they replace the window control modules this time. This will be the third service trip for the same problem and I've gone through all of the reset procedures in the on-line owners manual at least 50 times in the last 10 months and no, I do not have vent shades on the windows and never have. The TSBs that they have tried so far are supposed to reduce the sensitivity level of the modules so that they are less likely to bounce-back. If that's the case then something must be happening that is reversing that process. The only thing that even half makes sense is that an over-the-air update is resetting the window control module software back to the original settings. BTW, I've had this truck for just over two years now and I have never had the windows bounce back even once during the colder months of the year. It seems like it is only a problem when the ambient air temp is over about 60°F. I assume the rubber window tracks expand during warmer temps which reduces the clearance between the tracks and the glass which in turn causes more resistance. Why on earth they would make a system that flipping sensitive is beyond me. If there is one thing that would make me buy another brand it is stupid, annoying nonsense like this.

Have you ever tried to cracking another window then closing the one that’s giving you issues? Only time I have trouble is when I’m driving highway speeds though.

I am about to install mine as well... but I don't have the aux switch connectors like you do.. those will be nice when you are done!

Got new 295/70R18 KO3's installed yesterday and loving them so far, on stock suspension the tire just looks like it should have been factory size. No, I have zero rubbing at all and everything is stock.

Nice.
Post some pics from the front and back of the vehicle so members on here can see what the stance looks like with a 100% stock suspension and wheels.

Just ordered the Gen 3 BAKflip MX4. A little present from myself to the tremor. New upgraded version just dropped a few days ago.

Gave the bed some attention yesterday. Mounted some retractable D-rings and Self reeling Ratchet Straps on some Molle panels. Now i don't have a spaghetti mess of straps every time i look in the bed, thats now all stuffed in a bag under the seat

What brand are the Mille panels?

Also looking at this...installing yourself? When you get it on could you please post updates?

I like that they have the cutout for the bed lights. The Builtright ones don’t.

Nice pics but you’re missing some / a couple of the more important ones that many people might be interested in seeing. Many people like and some dislike tires poking out beyond the fenders. Here’s an example from two different members on here.

I just noticed that the builtwrongs were missing that. The price difference was most attractive to me, neat catch!

 

[Redwoodsav]

The price is definitely appealing. How have they been holding up?

Just fine, no complaints as of yet. It looks like they just added the option for the middle panel, I just missed it! For 20 bucks might as well get those too

Got the halolifts stage 1 Tremor kit installed at halolifts in Brighton Colorado. Saw good reviews on this forum so I called Eve (who runs the place) and set up an appointment. Worth the drive from Wyoming they are great folk! @halo.f150

Anyways I also put on some 315/70r17 (34.5x12.8) Baja boss ATs wrapped on 17x8.5 method 305 bronze +25 rims.

No rubbing at all under full lock, looks like a half inch or maybe an inch of clearance from the crash bar so decent amount of room.

After the alignment I adjusted the speedometer on Forscan, process was easy- I used my speedometer app (in kmph since it was more precise) and compared it to what the truck said. The GPS was at 113 kph while the truck said 110 kph. The tire circumference was set to 2560mm from factory on Forscan, so I basically just used this formula: 2560 x (113/110) and got 2630. I wrote that number in and my speedometer is spot on now.

Too early to say what the MPG hit was since I have never driven before in the Denver area, but after 40 miles i got 18.7 MPG (after tire size correction) in sport mode. I drove during rush hour and a good mix of interstate and downtown driving. So I'm happy with that for what it's worth

So far super happy with how it turned out. The suspension feels to be a bit on the firmer side but we will see how that works out after break in. But it handles very well. Also, with the Baja boss's, there is no noticeable tire noise/road feedback compared to stock tires. Super impressed given I got the 10 ply ones (e-rated)

Should arrive Friday.. I will be installing it myself and making a youtube video. Looks much easier to install than previous versions.. pictures and notes will follow.. recommend using the chat on realtruck.com... they offered a military 5% discount but I mentioned autogarageaccesories.com had a better price, they knocked off another 5%... $1083 final after tax and with free shipping.
