Northern Virginia Roll Call

I found a pic of my gli,

 

Nice bro!

 

When you going to Raleigh?

 

I get home from Hawaii on the 10th.... but that following weekend is Easter (not sure if you guys celebrate it) and Ill be going down to Va Beach, but if you guys still havent done it by that following weekend of the 22nd, I'd be down!

I'll have my bumper and winch (and hopefully, lift, wheels, and tires) ready to be installed!

 

I have a full suspension to install as well! Sounds like we should all meetup and bring a few kegs.

 

so I know we have talked a lot about suspension, but let's do this:

best full lift kit out there for $1250 or under (Brand new only)

Bilstein 5100s / OME?

Toytec Boss 2.0?

Fox?

OME?

Not only would I like to see that install take place, but I would also like to see how it rides when its done. Since I am looking at the same kit.

 

April 24th. Leaving around 5am

 

boogie3478 did you figure out what tires you will be going with?

 

No. If anything my decision is even more chaotic.

I'm considering these sizes: 255/85r16, 255/75r17, 285/75r16

And these tires: BFG KM2, Goodyear MTR (Kevlar), Nitto Trail Grappler.

It's a headache of balancing what will perform well, look good, and not kill gas mileage too bad.

 

you know my vote..... 285s!!!`

 

I'm wondering how much cutting I'll actually have to do if I run 285s since my wheels have 4.5" backspacing.

 

I have 285s on OEM TRD Pro wheels on the 4Runner if you want to come try them on before you buy

 

Hmm I'm definitely interested. Where in NOVA are you?

 

Ashburn, about 10 min from @fatfurious2

they are 285/70/17s

 

Sweet, I'd love to come check them out to see if they rub. I'll PM you about it.

 

KM2S are pretty loud I think. @Lots2Learn58
MTR Kevlars will wear really fast when driven on the street

Have not heard anything about the Nittos

 

Apparently KM2s are loud compared to other tires, but they don't bother me. You can ride in my truck and see for yourself if you want. They kill it off-road though

 

Hmm the 285/70r17 Nitto Trail Grapplers come in both "E" and "C" load ranges. Would the C load range version be lighter than the E?

 

255/80/17 cooper st maxx quiet on road, decent gas mileage, great off road!
