Installed the Infinity door speakers. put down another roll of ribbon butyle (sp) on the inside of the doors and another new layer of 6mil plastic vapor barrier. Installed new foal around the inside door handle opening. Put the Alpine back in till I get the factory one. Installed all the cleaned switches and I can now say the inside is finished. Took 11 days. Also cranked down the front 3/4" and now it rides very well and also...

i've posted a few times about this but i guess you didnt SEARCH. Either way, there are two torx/flathead screws holding each outer lens in, unscrew and push out, the lens also has two pressure clips on the forward edge. Tailgate ones, yup remove carpet CAREFULLY, as the clips like to pull out of that POS that the carpet is attached to. Then there are two plates, both held on by 3 philips heads, unscrew and remove and you have access to...

Usually the TPS problems are actually the APPS. If you are doing both then consider a whole new throttle body. You'll get the throttle control motor, TPS and APPS along with whatever other updates were made.

Can we get a timeframe on when this bumper is going to release? Its the only thing holding me back from getting a sahara bar

I changed to a Alpine Amp and a RockFord Fosgate P2 (12" Subwoofer) and it made a 100% difference. I have the sub turned down becuase I'm really not into the door mirror rattling music.... ookk sometimes... but it was a step to clearing up the weak sounding bass

thats it.... I will check with Liam. Thanks !

I "think" it'd be like going around a corner all the time in terms of rotational differences, but I'm no expert... I would think that the circumferential difference between a 295/75 and a 255/85 isn't anymore than putting a brand new 295/75...
