"What did you do to your..." thread?

Once I get my GX back from the body shop, I'll document the install process. A quick search of the forum shows that it is pretty easy... always better to document with photos though...

Had the front end lifted another inch to level it after the suspension settled. Also have a shot of the front CV with the 3" lift on it. There is now a noticeable vibration after the extra inch lift, but that was kind of expected.

Put LEDs on one side of the running board and was pleased with how bright they are. Worked even better after I cleaned up the housing... will have to remember to periodically give them a wipe down. Now I'm waiting for the bulbs for the other side.
Also tackled the F-Sport grill install. Very straight forward. Just have to be careful with brittle plastics and take your time.

Got Techstream running, finally. Took a lot of back and forth and some Google power but it finally worked. Main goal was to get the sunroof and windows to open with the remote, which I accomplished straight away. I need to go back and turn off the chime for the door when it's open and also the seatbelt chime. Fun program... seems to take awhile to communicate with the car but that is probably my lousy old Netbook that I'm using.

The CV angle looks much better than I though with 3" lift. Hopefully the boots hold well and there's no intermittent shaking at speed due to the angle. That is one thing I'm dreaded with lift is the constant spinning of the boots rubbing each other and get torn up all the time.
The stance looks really nice!

I installed new LED bulbs for the rear turn signal indicators. I swore I wasn't going to do this, but after following my wife home (the GX is her's) it just looked so out of place having the old filament bulbs on our new ride. The ones I used were definitely plug-n-play. No resistors, no hyper-flash...very easy (about a ten minute job for both sides total). I will say the LED bulbs almost seem too bright, but I'll give it a couple of days and look again.
The video is shown with only the driver's side done. I thought I would compare the two before replacing the passenger side, but both are done now (of course).

Do you think 285/75/R17's would fit, or is that pushing the limits?

I just ordered the Stage 3.5 Radflo/Total Chaios lift from SSO the other day, and am going for a very similar look that you have.

Which Techstream did you go with? So many on amazon and ebay, not sure which one to get even after reading on here.
