GatorComa Build

Thanks yeah im going lt soon as truck is paid off. I might look into one and some 5100. Thanks for input

 

Damn man well that's the way to go haha. No problem.

 

Yeah but well take me 3 years left. I can wait that.long haha

 

Do u have the 4.0 in that

 

Yeah I guess that would be the downside haha...

Yup it's the 4.0, I couldn't imagine having the 2.7 for what I do with my truck

 

So think after looking at urs I just might do spacers... how far from naples are u.

 

What are u getting for mpg with the 285.

 

Quite a ways....I'm in St. Augustine/Gainesville, so probably about 4 hours would be my guess.

Not great... but almost all my driving is around town, so not the most fuel efficient driving. I get about 15-16 on average strictly town driving. The best I've gotten was just under 19 on the interstate.

 

Not that bad. Stick or auto

 

auto. Do you have any pics of your truck? I like it a lot judging from your avatar, but that's all I could find. Just curious

 

Only pics I have now

 

Very Nice. I really like the mag light mod lol I think i might have to do that one. My mag light floats around and vibrates around in the storage bin under the jump seats... lol

 

Haha yeah I like it a whole lot, now I always know where my light is when I need it. It's cheap and easy, and fits perfectly between the seat and door

 

Did you have to put wheel spacers (spidertrax or allpro) in to fit your 285 KM2's ? or change your UCS's at all. Thanks for any info

 

Nope no spacers, but if I'd kept the stock wheels I would've needed spacers. My wheels have a 4.5 backspacing, which keeps the 285's away from the uca's. If you're planning on 285s though you either need wheels with less BS than stock (4.5 works great) or wheel spacers

 

Great thanks for the heads up...do you know if they would stick out the same amount...(stock w/1.25 wheel spacers and (aftermarket w/ 4.5 backspacing) your wheels seem to stick out just a tad past the fender flare I am wondering because I plan on keeping my stock wheels

 

sorry it took so long for me to get back to you, I haven't been on here in a while, but I'm not sure about that...I think the wheels spacers with stock wheels would make them stick out more, but I'm not positive.

 

sorry about drugging up an old thread, between shooting you a Pm with my questions or replying on here i assume you wouldnt mind a bump on your build thread.

not sure if your still in the g ville area much but ive been living here for years. im researching my build right now and it looks like the set up im going for is going to put me at a very similar stance to what your running.

3 inch lift via, 5100s i have already on leveling her out, doing AAL in the back toytec coils with icon UCA's and a diff. drop up front. then going to run cooper discover stt m/t in 295/70 17 on wheels with similar backspacing to what you have. seems like with lift, wheel, and tire combo ill have ultimately a pretty similar set up to what your running.

if you dont mind me guinea pigging off you. what kind of issues have you found with needing to cut, or any rubbing while off roading/mudding? i really want to stuff these tires under a 3 inch lift, i just dont wanna run into any serious issues bottoming out on trails or mud holes.
