    Victory 4x4 rear hatch Molle panel installed. Small bags added for camping/EDC. Will experiment with setup over time. Followed their video and it was easy.

    Nope. They're somewhere in Colorado, per tracking. The purchase on cupholderhero.com apparently went through some outfit called Shopify (unbeknownst to me until I got the order confirmation), and lo and behold, Amazon got involved in the delivery, but it's not the usual Amazon delivery. It is somehow mixed with USPS, and is leaving me wondering if I'll ever get my order. I already contacted cupholderhero.com, and they told me I have to wait another 3 business days to not have my order, then they'll send a replacement.

    I had the same thing when ordered on their website and received them I think within like 7 business days or so.

    It's just me. I got too used to free Prime shipping arriving in 1-2 days. I'll live until these arrive.

    It did surprise me when tracking showed shipped from Iowa. Their website says they are in Chandler, AZ, and I figured a couple of days from AZ to NM...

    They probably have them made somewhere where it is cheaper to make them, but ordering them from Amazon makes more sense since it takes less time. Amazon warehouses are literally everywhere....

    This weekend I will do some research about the hood scoop decal. Do you know know anything about it?

    What is the reason for the F’d up skid plate bolts you guys seem to be finding? Is it happening because it’s difficult to install with just one guy at the dealer?

    One of the best mods i have ever done, makes dropping the skid almost fun. The reason for the f'ed up bolts is laziness and impact guns.

    Stock skid plates are not difficult to install, and I take mine off all the time. There is nothing magical about the bolts, threads, or skidplates. But, a little bit of time is necessary to do it right.

    My guess is that the f’ups are because the person doing the work is

    A) not quite familiar with “concept” of cross-threading and over-tightening bolts.

    Or

    B) Doesn't take the time to do it right. Either because it really exceeds the time they are allotted to do it right, they personally don’t care, or they think the owner won’t care or ever know (probably most owners dont actually care, in reality).

    Removed rear sway bar. With the eibach shocks and dobs coils you can barely tell i removed it. The ride is so much smoother and there's just a hint of a little extra body roll. But still is more stable then it was with the oem suspension.

    Pretty Stock except for Sherpa Crestone Roof Rack with 44" Extreme LED X6S Slim Light Bar, RCI 5 degree Sliders with Top Plates, General Grabber ATX 265/70R/17.
    New shoes, General Grabber ATX in 265 E Load. I have white letters inside but might reverse it on the next rotation. So far doesnt feel too different or heavy, similar to stock but maybe a little more grip. I'll have to see how they are at highway speeds. Discount Tire set the PSI to 35 psi, this seems like a good pressure based on what I've read on the forum? I like how AT tires, even at stock size, just changes the 4Rs looks compared to the stock tires.PXL_20221015_142741426~2.jpg PXL_20221015_143056790~3.jpg

    Anyone have tips to avoid this? I think next time I'm going to thread the skid plate bolt back in so oil doesn't end up inside the bracket. At least this area won't rust away on me.

    Don't recall having this issue, but on my other trucks it was way worse. Just wrap it with paper towels if all the oil doesn't drain from the filter prior to removing it.

    Blacked out badges, window deflectors, smoked 3rd brake light. I have a Borla muffler on order as well as some color matched engine cover stickers. I'll be painting the stock wheels soon as well. Falken tires in the fall as well.
    I haven't had that happen. I don't remove the bottom plug on the housing I unscrew the housing like it is a regular filter and it drips straight down into the pan.

    Put a short hose on the plug that comes with the filter. But honestly, I'd be more concerned about the rust.

    Empty out the oil first using the plastic plug. It can take a while to fully drain out, but then there isnt all that much that come out

    Yeah it seems some things are rusting faster than they did on my Tacoma.

    That little plastic plug doesn't seem to drain it all. A lot doesn't come out, but enough to drip all over that bracket.

    Many with many more to go
    Shopify is a website development and shopping cart system. One of the biggest in the world. cuphero uses shopify for its website and money management. Cuphero is responsible for everything. Order, shipping, billing, funding.

    Depending on what shipping software they use and which courier they use (in your case, UPS) you will get your tracking number after the courier scans it into their system and then sends you an email with tracking info. Two things to know - UPS is in the midst of a huge crisis. The company I work for ships roughly 100-140 consumer packages per day via UPS. We ship roughly 40-60 trailers per week. UPS is a mess. We have roughly 4-5% of our consumer packages lost or rerouted weekly. More often than not, their tracking system fails the package on the consumer end, but still winds up on your door step.

    Amazon in your case has nothing to do with the transaction. Its the shipping relationship they have with USPS and UPS both, but not Fed Ex or DHL. I often ahve Amazon packages show up in my city (300k people), then tracking shows dropped to USPS and USPS delivers my package. Amazon does not ahve enough planes or trucks to do everything, so they pay USPS and UPS to deliver even Prime packages for them.
