Ayyye that P-Lo nice video.

That spot looks fairly tame. Might have to check it out when I get my new tires mounted.

 

all of us are from sacramento brotha.. come join in on the shitshow.

 

Hmm... I may be interested in this as I keep a case of water and food in the bed. What is it exactly?

 

Looks like a load bar

 

Here you go bro, https://www.walmart.com/ip/Reese-Ca...75035&wl11=online&wl12=17043485&wl13=&veh=sem.

It's perfect for that, another reason why I got it.

 

Awesome! Thank you!

 

Thank you for this! Way better than this weird bungee system I have going on right now. Great idea!!

 

You're welcome

 

Not for my truck but a gift for my dad's new PRO. A custom mount for his arb compressor with an integrated switch mount. It uses pre existing bolts in the engine bay.

 

I have the matte black bedside decals on my MGM too, but I'm thinking about going gloss black instead! Decisions decisions!

 

Well done. Be ready for requests.

 

But not before they first ask what size rim/tire, how much lift and if there is rubbing

 

Got the 265/75/16 E load K02's. Not exactly what I wanted, but living in the middle of nowhere Missouri, kinda had to go for what was in stock seeing I had to drive an hour and a half to get them.

 

Will my 35's rub on my stock suspension? Do I need to trim my mud flapz?

 

yep, they'll fit, not trimming, you wont rub, even off road!

 

Harbor Freight had the same load bar for 15 bucks. Works great.....

 

Hidden Winch Mount Systems is who makes it. I think I mentioned this earlier, but the guys who installed it did a horrible job cutting the plastic piece up front and are going to replace that and take another try at cutting it in.

I just picked up my truck from AZ differential specialist with a fresh set of Nitro 4.88s and full nitro install kits. Admittedly I was mildly worried about 4.88 gears and 265 75r16 but not no mo!! I just took it easy on the way home following break in guidelines and here are some initial observations. The truck cruises a comfortable 2k RPM at 65 in 6th. It's about 3100 at 60 in 4th. With the smaller tires 1st gear reminds me if the old manual transmissions with a granny gear(my truck is auto). A ton of torque but almost unnecessary for unloaded driving. I can't wait to get these broken in and do some towing! I can already tell it's gonna be allot more enjoyable!



No pics of the gears so just some nice truck pics
