Looks good!
I think mine is the same one. I like it a lot. I didn’t have any fitment issues at the fan shroud. It’s a little tight squeeze where the cone filter meets the fender and it takes a minute to get it in and out when it’s time to clean the filter. But they than that I don’t have any issues and none with the MAF.

Thanks, definately brings some bling to the bay. As far as the fan shroud I think yours is slimmer with e-fans correct ?

Djm 2" lowering springs in back. Front oem keys slightly adjusted to meet the 34.5" fender lip to ground measurements. Subtle but noticable and clean looking.

Yeah that could be why. I didn’t know there was a difference in fan shrouds between the efans and non efans. But I wouldn’t be surprised to know there’s a difference. Lol so much to learn about these trucks. Yours looks good after the lowering too!

Thanks, not really low, just leveled

Added a rgb 194 bulb to my custom cubby light. Reason why I used an actually socket and housing instead of strips, so I can change bulbs . With a push of a button on a little cheesy remote I can change the color or have it flash or fade different colors, not ideal for driving but fun to show off while parked

Side note, I need to send my HVAC controls to @ScottyBoy and get them lit up

Rear speakers installed. Was able to splice into the factory harness and not have to run all new wires. Didn't work for the front. Worked for the rear .....



Had to touch up the rear bumper plastics. When I did a light bulb went off in my head....the plastidip patch on the rear hatch was pretty faded...so I figured back to black is designed for plastic and rubber trim...and plastidip is rubber sooo....started to rub some on and it actually worked lmao.
1st pic can see that I did half the patch
Full patch done




Need to get it together and paint this hatch already

I need some of that stuff. Does it go on greasy before it dries? How long does it last?

Some nice light work going on. Level looks good and IMHO the LTZs ...ahem ...look better than the Nissan’s. They roll nice on the NBS.
