Thank you!

 

I've always looked at it as
Base
Normal accessories
Lots of accessories
Absurd amount of accessories
ALL OF THE ACCESSORIES
What in the actual f*ck?
Am I in a car or a house? Price is the same
F*ck it, I live here now. I'll never pay it off, may as well.

 

All the domestics are like that, though.

GM has 6-8 trim levels on the Silverado depending on how you look at it, it's worse than that if you consider that the Sierra is essentially the same truck. Ram has 7-ish levels.

The thing that irritated me about the Tundra was that the SR5 TRD Off Road didn't have things I wanted and the Limited did, but also had things I didn't want. You'd pick the trim and it was pretty much a what you see is what you get situation. Building a Silverado or Sierra is annoying despite all the trim levels. Stuff that made no sense to be packaged together was, and if you tried to add something it would often force you to subtract something that was completely unrelated. Some trims would only have about three color options, etc. Ram was actually pretty good--close to Ford in terms of ability to configure it exactly how you'd want it.

 

That last one. On the phone with the bank, "Hi, can I get a mortgage on a pickup truck?.... Hello?.... You there?"

 

It's interesting to see the difference in color. Wonder how they would do if it isn't snowing like a bitch?

 

They work great in the snow , dust and rain

 

I hate these fake parts companies that you order shit from saying it’s available when they have no idea it’s not because they drop ship and don’t hold inventory themselves. Amazon can’t even get these fucking lights and that’s BEZOS!!
That being said, I have about $400 in Amber fogs that won’t make it to my house any time soon.

 

Whoa... Is that thing sitting on a new frame already?

 

Sure is. They’re chugging along pretty well

 

I know Balise only takes about 24-30 hours to do a frame swap. Helps when you habe new hardware to put it back together

 

Hey new guy, @Heybud , come join us the water is warm in here.

 

I wonder if they're saving time by not using washers...

 

If I remember correctly, the guy at the dealer here told me Toyota pays them for 24 hours each for two guys, but the same two guys do all of theirs so they've gotten pretty quick at them.

 

I figured that but, I was meaning if I flipped them on and it was clear out. I'll sometimes flip on the fogs to better see the sides of the road when it's dark & narrow.

That's why I left my order as is for now figured the more I messed with it the longer it would take.

 

I smell what you're stepping in. Well, you'll find out! I bet they're good. They go wider than the rigids do

 

Saw that, which would help with that

 

Well. If I win the race, I might have mine Monday. A d you're always welcome to come check them out if in doubt before you receive yours

 

What tires you have on your F150? I have the stocks (believe they’re hankooks) and I’m not too confident they are going to do well in the winter.

 

I had Michelin Primacy XC tires, I didn't like them at all. They were clearly chosen because they were quiet and had low rolling resistance.

I replaced them with Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S in 265/70/18. I'm happy so far, but haven't had them in much snow yet.

If those tires are the Dynapro ATMs, they're pretty decent in the snow. I had them on my Tacoma and used them when we got some early/late storms and I didn't have my winter set on yet. Only issue I had with them is the way they wore--they got really loud, to the point where I thought I had a bad wheel bearing! I'd rotate and the noise would go away for a little while but always came back eventually. I thought it might have been an alignment issue on my truck, but I know of three others who had the same problem--two of which have new F-150s so I don't think the alignment is the issue.
