Yes. Read post 120. It covers all the details. And very true about the shackle mounts. You can't use them anyway with the sensors. I honestly don't think that will fix the issue however. I think the orientation is always going to give them issues. The only way I see this going away is if the...

Well it is on, and all the mechanicals work well, very well in fact. Now I'm simply waiting on the final details to come in so I can finish up. I'm also going to move the tire over some to better see the tail light from behind. A small detail, I know. LOL Not 100% what to do about the sensors...

Finally hoisted it up there with my engine hoist and a soft bubba rope. It then needed a bit of fiddling to get it level and sitting evenly from side to side, paying attention to all the gaps. It fit VERY, VERY well IMO. Was very impressed with this part of the install. Then it was time to...

First a bit of a cut is needed, Then these beefy as hell bumper supports are bolted on. These things are HEAVY! So is the stinkin' bumper! Now on to the bumper install. It has 8 bolts total holding it on, it isn't going anywhere. I found it easier to use the sensor holes to bolt up a couple...

Got a day off today, and spent it putting on the Expedition-1 rear bumper. The bumper itself went on very easy, and everything steel fit VERY well. The tolerances are tighter than what I am used too, and IMO that is a good thing. Seems on first glance to be a very solid, well built piece...

Looks great! Love that topper too!

Lights and audible warnings on the DIC for pressures less than manufacture specification. The 3500 and up uses a TPIS which is an informational only system, so you can run any tire pressure you want without the bells, chimes, and christmas lights.

This I've got to see. Take lots of pics! :cool:

IMO.... Tradesman 3500 Cummins, Aisin, 4x4, 8ft bed with a barn door topper, Thuren suspension with his new leafs, 37×13.50's, and done. You can beat your head against the wall back and forth, but that will be the simplest, and cheapest way to get you there. That and you don't deal with the...

Looking great! Are you going to be doing the driveshafts yourself?

Unless you truly need tons of extra space, the mega isn't needed at all. I haul my wife, two kids, myself, and all our junk around, with plenty of room to spare. A regular crew cab has tons of room. They actually use the same doors as the mega cab, they just don't have those extra inches behind...

Fantastic work! Wow! Are you doing all the welding and fabrication yourself?

Very, very interested in how they end up mounting when used with panel adhesive. That option sounds very attractive as opposed to drilling into a VERY rust prone area anyway. I also will be talking to him about some once I see how yours turn out. I would like the body protection, as well as the...

You damn tease!!!! Post them pics! :cool:

AEV is just about useless when it comes to answering emails about product or product issues. The only way you can get them to answer emails is if you ask them about having a vehicle built. Then you get same day response. They honestly need to hire someone full time to field questions about...

So I finally made it home today to take a look at this. It looks like it my be offset by a VERY small amount. Hard to tell really without looking at yours.

Want to sell your M12 and associated brackets?

Yep, I think they will be out sometime in August. Maybe sooner. I believe you can pre-order now. Agreed! There is no reason making changes to your own personal vehicle should be made difficult due to software. Yes sir... The 3500 is TPIS only, so you still get the information without the...

Great discussion. I picked the 3500 after having dealt with the 2500 suspenson woes in my 6.4 Hemi, and TPMS nannies. I needed slightly more payload for all our gear, and I HATED the TPMS system. Keeping the rear tires inflated to 80psi needlessly while unloaded is asinine. I also spoke to Don...

Hmm... It sure does. That would for sure help get the swing arm away from the gate. I'll take a gander at it tomorrow once I get back home. Interesting.... Thanks.
