Gonna be a fun weekend.

 

Gave the grey ghost a foam bath this AM

 

Finished installing the onboard water!

And ran into a little guy at the grocery store

 

Traded my truck today for this.



Truck is in for 20k service. Have a happy Friday.

 

Thanks!
From a previous post by me:
I have the FN wheels from Dustin.
Color: dark gloss gun metal.
These are not on their website....so just call or send Dustin an email.
Tons of people on TW have bought from him.
Delivered to my door in Houston, TX, total cost including shipping for 4 wheels $769.
Nitto Terra Grapplers G2's, mounted on new FN wheels, Discount Tire total - $813.00
These Nitto's have a 65,000 mile warranty!
I had a slow leak in on at 9,000 miles. The dude at Discount tires did a thread depth check, standard, and was like whoa, tires still had 100% tread.

I have stock coils, just put on the Bilsteins 5100's, 3rd generation.
Way better smooth ride! My intent was to level the truck...gave me 1" lift in front....perfect.

Love the Nitto's....for a few reasons over the KO2's...since I was looking at those too.
Mine are definitely quiet on highway, at least for a off-road tire. I keep them inflated at 45-48psi.
They also ride great as in smooth, especially going over bumps etc.

I have the 265/70R17 115T, "C" load rating which is 6ply. Most of my driving is highway, so the weight savings and less stiffness helps some with both mpg and road noise from everything I could read.
You can get the Nitto's G2's with higher load ratings, 8 and 10 ply which translates to heavier and stiffer.

Also if you buy at Discount tire, tell them you don't want the tire warranty they sell.....they always will counter with at least a half off the warranty offer(been doing that with them for years). I had one instance where I did not purchase at the store and the next day the manager called me and offered the half price warranty.
I also like 65,000 mile warranty(sort of unheard of for off-road tires), and the fact the total drive out cost was $813.28. Per tire was $150 without the other fees.

 

Specs NOW!

 

It's the little things...

 

YOU USED HORROR FREIGHT COUPONS TO MASK OFF PLASTIDERP?! I COULD HAVE USED THOSE!

Just kidding.

Nice

 

My apologies mad scientist. 285/70r17 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. Perfect size for an AC imo.

 

I concur

 

I hope your rib recovers quickly, @JerryTaco. Enjoy the rest of your epic adventure!

 

Got my C4 Frame braces powdercoated, and my @Baja Designs raptor lights installed. Warning: THESE ARE BRIGHT AF










DRL MODE:

 

What are those blue things behind your grill?

 

Horn?

 

Quad HELLA Horns

 

Video of these babies in action?

 

Link to those raptor lights? couldn't find in a quick google search.

 

I'm going crazy just looking at this last pic. This is exactly what I have wanted to do from the beginning of time. Looks just like I had imagined...AMAZING!!! My Raptor look in the front and then the Raptor look for the taillights that will ALL come at some point in my life As well as a couple other LEDs in a couple other custom locations we have discussed previously. You are making my vision for my truck come true. So exciting!!
