Nice looking truck.


You are off to a good start with the mods.

Thanks!
Getting there. I hope to be able to put a little more time and a little more money into it soon. Been very busy with house reno's but they are coming to an end

 

Truck looks great I really like the blue. On the future mods as for tires I went with the 275/70/17 Hankooks and love them excellent tread pattern for on and off road and quiet...just my .02 if you're undecided.

 

Thanks! I actually saw that you had them. What load range are they and do you know the weight? And how are they in the snow? That's my biggest concern.

Disregard the load range, I saw they were E. But I can't find the weight anywhere.

 

Loving this build thread! So many ideas!

 

Nice DCLB! That blue is sexy! I have the Hankooks and OZ and I were discussing that the more closed tread pattern on them makes them suck on wet snow. Just something to consider

 

Thanks!
Yeah, I had that problem with some Silent Armors I ran on a previous truck. They would fill up and act like slicks! I like the 275/70's so it's slim pickings!

They do look great! But I'm leaning 285s

^and this!

 

If it wasn't my DD definitely! I think I may try to pick up a little beater anyway so by the time I need some new shoes ill probably end up with some 285 duratracs

 

Mine's my dd too. Looking into a Corolla come spring probably

 

How's the ride with the 5100's and OME compared to stock? Looking to go that route hopefully for christmas but with 884's as a leveling kit.

Also, the pod in the back looks sick!

 

would like to know this as well. also how much do you have in the current lift set up. really digging this truck. nice job
edit: sorry if not kosher to ask folks cost specifics

 

OP - I couldn't find a weight per tire but for the info I did see it's probably about 50 to 55lbs. I haven't had them in the snow yet just a little mud and sand getting down to rivers for fishing and they have been great.

 

sub'd for eventual bed bob

 

Blasphemy.

 

Thanks! The ride is awesome! It's not as bouncy and rolly as stock. It's not stiff but it's a damper ride. I'm impressed. I was concerned because I did like the stock ride but I'm so happy with it now!

I would say...$850 for everything. I bought everything off of TW either used or almost no miles so I got some good deals.
