So, regardless of what it seems, we are pretty cheap. Her car has low miles and she only drives back and forth to work. Plus it’s a 5 speed so it is fun to drive. The car I left was 14 years old and Had a quarter million miles and we couldn’t fit both kids and groceries in it. However, she’s next on the car upgrade list so she’ll get to pick what she wants... she wants to see the new Bronco so at least she’s got good taste.

plus, I do work... just not in the traditional sense.
im just bustin your chops!!!

Looks like the fuel vectors... what offset and how far do they stick out? Sorry for all the questions

Looks good. Love the color. What was the total lift in the rear? 3”? How much room is from the front of the rear tire to the fender?

Thank u sir. Well I made the mistake of not doing a pre-measurement before having the 5100's installed, but I'm going to say it's closer to 2'" of lift in the rear. Bilstein claims 1.6", but it's definitely closer to what my ReadyLift 3/2 netted. I think the front might be a smidge over 3". I measure roughly 2.5" of clearance from the front of the rear tire to the fender. The AMP steps narrow the gap to around 1.75" of clearance.

Does “first oil change” count for the purposes of this thread?

Decided to do it at 5K miles. Filled with Mobil 1. Sent oil to Blackstone. I do the same with the wife’s Lincoln MKS with the 3.7 since it has the internal water pump.

Didn’t recall when the plastic pan and drain plug went away, but was pretty sure my ‘19 would be metal with a bolt. It was of course.

have to wonder what purpose the cover serves. It isn’t beefy enough for much protection. Just seems to get in the way...

Did the change without ramps. Next time I’ll use them. For such a big vehicle it is pretty darn low. My Grand Cherokee had the air suspension so I could just raise it, change oil, and lower it again!

It looks like a lot more than the RL. I usually say ****, Tires or Tracks the bigger the better. The lift and 33’s just look so much better than the 35’s. I have 2” from the body to the tire in the rear and 1.5” to the factory step. I didn’t trim the rear steps.

Being in the south and temps are rising... Tint! 20% all around...

nice! I put 5% OVER the factory tint on the rear doors, rear windows and rear lift gate....then put 15% on the front doors and glass roof.

I have clear bra on the entire front clip....bumper to front door hinge.

72 months term length. First 3 months are waived. They do not add them to end of the loan.

Can you only do 72 month term? I would assume so since the longer the term the less impact waiving 3 months has...?
