    Could be. I had to fill up at a couple rural gas stations along the 5 so I don't always trust the quality of their 'premium' fuel either, we'll see how things go this coming week now that I'm back to my normal commute

    Oh and I did add one of those drop in AFE pro dry air filters (non oiled) recently, since I'm always having to replace the paper ones every few thousand miles. Now that I think about it, I did read in another thread on here that with the AFE filter it might take some time for the ECU to adjust to the different air flow. Could be part of the issue anyhow.

    I think its the winter blend. I am down 1-2mpg since summer, on average, and I have been driving like an absolute grandpa these days. I also have had an AFE drop in filter both on summer and winter blends, so I am not sure its the filter or not in your case. No pinging though on either blend.

    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.
    Front bumper? What'd you go with?

    Yup Baja Designs Squadron Sports in "wide cornering" perfect fog lamp parallel. I plan to grab another set of them for the other tabs likely in the Squadron Racers with spot/driving mixture. The yellow filters are cool.

    You just missed their rebate though! They were giving $50 the pair.

    Yeah I imagine not having a reflector on the unfocused LED doesn't help. Nancy wanted me to get the Pelfrey hybrid bumper :laugh:

    I think it will look best with the long travel expo build I'm working towards otherwise it would have been demello plate.
    I like the bronze a lot but it just doesn't look as good on the white truck. Just my opinion.

    Been looking at the pro comp steelies, anyone have any experience with them or at least know if they're worth getting? They're not pricey which is what I'm kinda going for. Just something to change up the look of my truck. Says they have a max load of 2000lbsIMG_0567.jpg

    What are the cons of having a cheaper steel rim? feel like I read something about it a while back in here

    huh, those kind of look like mine and I've always wondered what brand of wheels the PO put on my truck. Mine were grey though before I painted them black.
