What did you do to your AT4 today?

[gemarsh]

My toe hooks went from red to color shifting blue. I also used the same paint on the GMC badges, but haven’t those back on yet. Next, I’m taking the red 4 on the AT4 badges and making them blue.

Damn, that's cool.

I was expecting i would do a leveling kit but my 2022 refresh has no rake.

Got Big Red back from his first treatment.

Xpel ceramic 80% windshield tint, 30% over the front, 5% everywhere else. Full front facia, hood, headlights, fenders, a pillars, mirror caps and door edges got xpel PPF. He tinted the fogs yellow as well. Looking forward to my next night drive to see the difference.

I’m no trained investigator…actually I am!, but those look like Ready Lift not Rough County!

Regardless it looks good.

Oops, I made a typo. Thanks for letting me know.

Yes, the Bilsteins are adjustable, but one would have to take the whole thing apart again to adjust them. I think it would be easier to add a 1" block to the rear but then the truck will be even taller. Well, I'll just have to live with it. Live and learn!!! The rear Bilsteins are on the way. ETA about 3 days.

The rear Bilstein 5100s on my Tundra allowed for up to an inch of lift but did not add height by themselves. I ended up putting in heavier shackles which gave me about an inch lift in the rear.

Here are some pictures of my Hyperdiped emblems. Makes a huge difference.

Did you tape and spray in place?

The guy from Bilstein said that the 5100 rear shocks will not raise/lift the rear of the truck thus the need for new blocks.

Shocks normally don't lift. (unless they are adjustable combos like the Bilstein ones for the front)

This is what I have in the front of the truck.

Yes, I just taped and sprayed in place. Worked great.

What did you spray them with That's my next project.

What did you spray them with That's my next project.

It’s a product called HyperDip. It looks like spray paint but peels right off the paint.

Why are these 2 of these "what did you do today" threads?

Anyways... Went for my manufacturer "break in" tow today. 500 miles below 50. Made it about 250 before the trailer popped off the ball crossing a bumpy railroad track. Not sure how it happened. Is what it is. Thankfully the safety chains held and no one was hurt. Metal can be mended.

If the ball is the correct size for the tongue hitch coupler, the coupler is worn out.
