I just tinted the whole thing. :shades:

Just needs a drop

Those parts go along with a 2 page procedure on checking and setting the front end to proper specs.

SERVICE PROCEDURE

Verify that drift/pull is not being caused by concerns listed in Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 204-00 drift/pull diagnostics. If normal drift/pull WSM diagnostics/procedures do not resolve the concern then refer to the following service steps.

NOTE: THIS SERVICE PROCEDURE MAY CAUSE THE FRONT CROSS CAMBER (TOTAL/SPLIT) ALIGNMENT VALUE TO EXCEED THE SERVICE MANUAL SPECIFICATION OF 0.00 ± 0.75 DEGREES. DO NOT EXCEED ± 1.2 DEGREES OF CROSS CAMBER.

For a Right Drift/Pull

Inspect the left strut upper plate to verify which direction the arrow is pointing. (Figure 1)

NOTE: IF THE NOTCH IS VISIBLE IN THE ACCESS HOLE IN THE STRUT TOWER, THE PLATE HAS ALREADY BEEN ROTATED A POSITIVE 0.5 DEGREE.

If the arrow is pointing inboard as seen through the access hole in Figure 1, no rotation is necessary (positive 0.5 degree camber already there). Continue with Step 4.

If the arrow is pointing outboard, increase positive camber approximately 0.5 degrees on the left front wheel by rotating the upper strut plate 180 degrees. Refer to WSM, Section 204-00, Camber Adjustment - Front.

NOTE: DISCONNECT THE FRONT STABILIZER BAR LINK AT THE LOWER CONTROL ARM SO THAT ENOUGH CLEARANCE CAN BE OBTAINED TO ROTATE THE UPPER STRUT MOUNT. REPLACE THE STABILIZER BAR LINK NUT ON REASSEMBLY.

NOTE: REPLACE THE FOUR (4) UPPER STRUT MOUNT NUTS.

Place vehicle on alignment rack. Remove and replace the two (2) right front shock absorber (strut) to wheel knuckle lower flag bolts and nuts but do not tighten. Refer to WSM, Section 204-01.

With full vehicle weight on the wheels allow the right wheel to increase negative camber and tighten both lower flag bolts and nuts to 166 lb-ft (225 N-m). The camber shift may vary between vehicles, but will typically be between a negative 0.2 and negative 0.6 degrees of camber change. Refer to WSM, Section 204-01.

Reset front toe adjustment to proper specifications. Refer to WSM, Section 204-00, Toe Adjustment - Front.

For a Left Drift/Pull

Inspect the right strut upper plate to verify which direction the arrow is pointing. (Figure 1)

NOTE: IF THE NOTCH IS VISIBLE IN THE ACCESS HOLE IN THE STRUT TOWER, THE PLATE HAS ALREADY BEEN ROTATED A POSITIVE 0.5 DEGREE.

If the arrow is pointing inboard, as seen through the access hole in Figure 1, no rotation is necessary (positive 0.5 degree camber already there). Continue with Step 4.

If the arrow is pointing outboard, increase positive camber approximately 0.5 degrees on the right front wheel by rotating the upper strut plate 180 degrees. Refer to WSM, Section 204-00, Camber Adjustment - Front.

NOTE: DISCONNECT THE FRONT STABILIZER BAR LINK AT THE LOWER CONTROL ARM SO THAT ENOUGH CLEARANCE CAN BE OBTAINED TO ROTATE THE UPPER STRUT MOUNT. REPLACE THE STABILIZER BAR LINK NUT ON REASSEMBLY.

I had the whole windshield tinted with 50% tint, helped alot.

I had two spots on the front drivers fender.

Mine will not one touch completely closed.

You can get them at your dealer too.

Looks good

Thanks Houndkeeper, Good Hands truck looks good!

There might be a programmer in the next month or so, they are using my truck as a guinea pig now.

Are the fog light bulbs the same as the headlights?

The rear is 13%, I added another layer to the rears, double 13 on the fronts and 50 on the whole windshield.

Did you hook that up to your factory nav monitor?

I agree, and made it one touch (open & close).

That sounds really good!! How is it while your driving 70-80mph?

Can you interface the camera with the factory nav system?

Just turned the 3k mark, truck is great with NO issues.
