    My problem is that I may be buying a $50k dually as my work truck is oldish & no warranty. I need reliability for work...
    Just, please don't count me out!

    P.S. I currently have 2 vehicles and she has one (the new one)!

    After waiting 5mo and 9 days. Gobi ladder arrived this week and installed over the weekend. Its a stealth, no rise with light bar option. It’s worth the wait :bananadance:

    How was the install? Shame I'm not local, I'd scoop up that TRDP rack off your hands

    Trd pro install is like 15min. Hardest part is removing oem rack carefully so clip does not fall onto head liner.

    Gobi install was easy. But it’s at least a two man install when lifting the gobi rack (70lbs) onto roof top.

    When you look up your rack on the Gobi site, it shows the ladder pictured in the diagram. Is that included, or ordered separately?

    side by side comparison. Trd muffler seems a bit lighter.

    Nice one mate... Looking good. Just curious, are your front mudflaps original? Sorting out the slight rub issue with mine.

    Cheers,

    they were, but I removed them after getting my body mount chop done.

    But before, I had a very small mud flap rub in reverse backing out of the driveway. This was even with 4.5 degree caster. Most likely caused by the 1.25” spidertrax and 285/70/17. I’m planning to run a bit more aggressive wheels and tires soon so I did the bmc and removed the flap completely.

    Here’s my bmc. It’s the aggressive S style bmc.

    Let me start by congratulating you on such an impressive build! I am in the same boat as you were. I need the creature comforts that Limited provides. Also the full-time 4WD. This truck will be our primary vehicle that the wife will mostly drive. Although the part-time system in the Pro might hold an edge in outright off-roading ability, I believe the full-time system provides more traction in daily use. Easier to use as well. All's good, but I just can't bring myself around to liking that front end on the Limited. Your build is an inspiration! Now, I am convinced on the route I want to go. Your excel sheet has become famous in the forums and I already have started poring over it ;)

    Have a question for you. Sorry if it has been asked already. Did you color match the TRD Pro bumpers or does Super White match well with Blizzard pearl? Tbh, I can't tell from the pics. Also, did you eventually get around to relocating the park sensors?

    Appreciate the help!

    Kinda out of order. I had installed the C4 low pro bumper before getting the wheels. I still need to install the high clearance and winch.

    Thanks for the kind words. I’m glad to help out in anyway I can. I felt exactly same way your feelings now with the limited .. lol

    I ended up painting the trd front/rear bumper and hood blizzard Pearl color. Bright white is too far off.

    as for sensors, I still have not installed them. I’ll try to install them after installing my high clearance addictions for my C4 bumper. After cutting the bumper, I’ll have a better idea where to install the front sensors.

    Hey guys,

    I added this module to my truck which allows your windows to roll up with the key fob. It piggybacks to your obd2 port and one of the trucks harness. Now I can roll 4 windows up and close sunroof with my key fob.

    Gobi with ladder always looks clean but it’s so damn tall. No way that’ll fit in my garage with mt. Hood rtt. That’s why I’m sticking to prinsu.

    Thanks. That’s why I opted for the stealth w/no rise to clear my garage.

    5.5” - stealth rack w/ no rise

    7” - stealth rack

    8 3/4” - ranger rack

    That is a lot of wiring! I believe Carista will accomplish this also; maybe not on your Limited... I always forget you have a Limited. Let me know if you want to borrow mine! If it is a lot of work.

    Lol.. it’s just two plugs. I installed in the dark. The cool thing, windows also roll up when using the smart handle to lock the door.
