Granted . . . .I've been looking at the 285/70R17 Cooper STT Pro Max and can not fathom paying $275-$295 per tire. But, I'm sure at some point I'll pull the trigger.

 

Wheels are $180 a pop
BFG KO2 $220 A pop
265-70-17

Transferring TPMS, mounting, balancing and alignment and remounting OEM tires back on OEM wheels (since they are taking the sensors out and putting on new wheels ) $250

 

Working at discount tire I watched one guy walk in and lay down $6k for wheels and tires like it was nothing. 22's wrapped in 38's on a brand new dodge 3500 dually.

 

The price for the wheels and tires doesn't sound bad, but the cost to pull the sensors seems steep to me. I just paid $43 at NTB to pull the sensors out of my wheels. That was dismounting the tires, pulling the sensors, putting new valves in, and remounting the tires.

Same view with the Kawell lights.

 

That's cute. You should see the prices on custom Davin's or HRE's or Asanti's.

 

I know a guy with color matched 30" asanti's. Never cared to ask price on those as I'm sure it was retarded

 

Thats fucked. But the good thing is you won't need it anyway

 

rrroooooiiiiiigggggghhhhhhht. yea the gas tank you prob really dont need.

but i learned the value of a 1/4" steel IFS skid at AOP. after the water crossing then hill climb (where SOMEONE debeaded the same tire...twice haha) and the entire front of the truck slid and landed on a corner of a rock directly on the skid, with both front tires off the ground. Def saved some money there!

@Robertocritser looks like we need room for about 6-7 trucks if you can pull it off

 

I will try... What's the earliest people will be showing up Friday?... I may hit some trails in the morning also what cb channel?

 

At what point in adding electrical accessories do you really need to use a breaker and fuse block?

 

I think Dave and I are looking at 1200. Anticipating a large amount of ppl running cbs, you wonna try ch 14 (I figure the usual 3, 4, 7, etc will all be taken)

 

The first one.

 

He said need. The answer to that is never

 

Why would you tell him he doesn't need a gas tank?

 

I'm aiming for early Friday afternoon. and ch. 11

 

well, mine runs on hope and rainbow dust. idk what you guys are using. . .

and ill be on ch 14 so...

 

I know. I was being a smart ass. Of course you and i both know that it's the best way to prevent a rats nest at the battery.

 

So if I only have 2 or 3 lines to add, it won't be much to worry about as far as rats nest of wires.

Just planning on running power with in-line fuse to a dome light inside shell and a pair of LED work lights on roof rack.

Maybe a front light bar in the future.

 

it never ends up that way, free of rats nest. if you have going to have more than 1, you should do it. If you dont care about having multiple wires running all around then dont.

once you start adding switches in the mix too, you now have 2 pwr and 2 ground wires, plus a 5 wire if you have leds on the switches. so for even 3 items, you are looking at 15 wires potentially.

example:



if you install all at the same time, you can jump them, but if you do not, you'll have the individual 5 wires/accessory
