What have you done / plan to do to your Telly?

[brad3385]

Looks great. How do you like the running boards? Do they serve a practical purpose or mostly for looks?

Wife needed them to get in after the lift install, and it help the driver seat from not getting crushed when getting in. They work really well for the roof box and rack as well. My kids are also using them and not crushing the sides of the seats when getting in.
Overall super happy with them!

Where did you get the Amber floodlights that luminate on the running boards ?
Do they light up when you unlock your vehicle or do you actually have to open the door ?

 

[Bohen]

I had a rock fall on my hood so I had the center of the hood painted a textured satin black after they fixed it.

Are the grill lights on a relay harness?

Ya I had a custom one made it’s attached to my headlights. It’s just temporary until I get a light bar installed and have a button panel installed.

Do you think the 50 sized sidewalls are stout enough for fire roads/light trails? Have an S due in a few weeks and I want to do the Wildpeaks but don’t want to buy new wheels.

Have run the Wildpeaks on my Subaru for 45K miles and love them- great all around tire.

I personally don’t think 50s are a thick enough sidewall for that stuff but. Maybe 55 min to protect your rims. I have 65 on mine.

Ok. I am getting ready to do tires on my NF. I know the 265/50/20 work with lifts but what about without? I want to do lifts but 2 people have told me no with the tow pckg/self leveling suspension... Did you have trouble with your lifts? DIY?
TIA

If you want to do a lift, swap out those shelf leveling shocks for regular ones. The lift kit and shelf leveling shocks makes the rear sag.

265 might rub, 255 should be safe if you can’t lift it.

@BRNXBMR what Alonzo said. if I can turn back time, I wouldnt do the lift with the self-leveling shocks.
I've experience the rear sag when fully loaded with gear. Installing an airlift did help, but thats another component that you need to add.
Not worth it, unless they release the new version that's supposed to resolve the sagging issue.

 

[E91fan]

Thought I would update here. Tinted front windows 35 percent and added ceramic coating (Modesta BC-06) on the paint and wheels. Awaiting blacked out Kia badges and when I take it back to Affluent Auto in Foxboro, MA for the post two week cure first wash, I will post some pics.

we just need a true aftermart suspension from Eibach, fox, or king.

I’ve applied for all their R&D programs

I have put a 2" lift by Truxx and I have put on bull bar with led light bar built in.

Do you have the link and instructions for this Bull Bar? I want to see where the mount the bull bar to so see if I can get some DRings installed for recovery points.

My biggest gripe with our Telluride is that there is no recovery points but other markets that sell them do .

Exactly. Other markets like in Canada even have different drive modes for different terrain.

I just pulled up your photo of your vehicle and I gotta say that is a very good looking Telly well done.
