I know the feeling....
I only did it 1X, hardest part is dealing with the inner fender liner to the bumper, clips, push pins, etc...
Really dumb design!!!!
Im not a fan of fang lights, looks cheap & cheesy, gimmicky to me...
I splurged...
Went with the BD s1 kit in white in the fang location...
Me personally involved or heard of a buyback, no....
But ive seen alot of them with lots of micro scratches from the factory...
As far as chipping, alot of the paintings result in soft & very thin paint...
If you feel its garbage, & youre willing to start over...
You have nothing to lose, go...
I had a $7k sound system installed...
I personally sound deadened all 4 doors, inner & outer skins, along with door panels also to help eliminate any rattles...
Also did the rear of the cab / back wall, & maybe & what I could of the floor doing the back cab wall without ripping anything out...
Looks great!
One thing though & I love spending other peoples money...
All that work, I would have upgraded the stock fog lights in the bumper while it front clip was off...
Theres multiple options out there at this point...
Dont know what else it could be...
I weighed them as I just took them off, 65.2 per side...
I do have 2 amps, a 12" JL TW3 & a sub enclosure
30lb speaker box, 16 lb sub, amps, 5 lbs a piece?
Ill get some pics here in a few of side profile with the sliders....
I dont have a total straight side profile pic prior to the sliders,
It crushed my stance, im like wow...
Contemplating pulling the sliders...
My guess is theyre much heavier than I was told, wouldnt be surprised if theyre right...
Ive got a question which may go un-answered like ripc's...
Is a prebuilt lift coilover assy or the right aftermarket spring combo with the right front shock more prone to keep its lifted stance more so than a stock front coil over assy? When theres added weight involved...
Dobinson, Eibach...
He's pretty observant....
Im the one that initially noticed it..
Been a tech for 32 years, Im pretty observant...
Was picking my service writers brain about it, was curious if he's had others mention it.
He even said, cuz of what I did for so long, way more observant than majority of his customers.
I havent looked but not really acting like its a leak, I think you nailed it, driving assist BS..
Leak wouldnt be an randomly intermittent symptom..
My understanding is the recall is related to mud getting inbetween the wheel & caliper, tearing up the brake line..
Only dirt she sees is the...
I guess I was wrong & now am also included in the recall...
Called my writer, no parts available yet for the sport, sit tight & wait.
Thats not the issue though....
sounds like its the normal "drivers assist" doing what it does & im just aware..
As I stated, totally understand the added weight & size of a larger tire affects on braking.
Had the wheels since November & didnt ever notice it till recently.....
Must be one of the driving modes...
Definitely what I was leaning towards...
Since one second it was mushy, then another drive...
Right
Took my kid to school, it was acting up....
Got home & then went back out to refill water bottles & bad-ass braking is back....
Like I said, im clueless when it comes to all those various lights & modes....
Not talking sport, normal, eco....
figured someone more in-tune with what's going...
Im wondering if one of those adaptive cruise, collision avoidance, etc settings makes the brake performance just a bit lazy to compensate / be able to take over electronically, if that makes any sense....
Not true at all!!!
Experienced it first hand & have 6 success stories along with probably 6 others in process.....

Surprised that Crispy Taco Lover decided not to shed some light on this matter cuz I...
Ok, heres the deal...
Dont think im imaging it as I asked my 15 year old son after I noticed it & he agrees.
I have a 24 sport just shy of 6k miles on it with 285 75 17's
Was always impressed how well it stopped, even with the larger tire / wheel combo.
Yesterday & today I noticed what feels...
Yeah...
I already also reached out to R4T so see when theyre coming out with another run & couldnt really get a solid response....
Looks like R4T is going a different direction than identical to the Uptop, im guessing...
Similar but maybe slight variation?
I can care less if mine are r4t or...
