Ugh this is worse than xmas.

im waiting for the new season of Van Helsing

 

Any good? I've been stuck on GOT, Vikings and re-watching Black Sails.

 

Not to bad it’s a spinoff with it being his grand daughter first season is slow 2nd is better. I watch it at work to pass the time but wouldn’t go out of my way to tune in. I’ll leave it at that

 

Morning folks

 

Morning James

 

I really need to do some updates to this thread. Truck changes faster than I can type.

 

Oh damn! Looks killer James!!

 

Thanks man!

 

Good Morning James

 

Morning Manner. How y'all making out this fine morning?

 

Just cooking away. Frank and Ruben be here within 30 minutes

 

Sounds like a good start to the day. I'm with the in-laws getting breakfast and about to go skeet shooting

 

Hey man, truck looks awesome what was your mpg like and experience on the 255/85/16 vs 285/75/16 before re gearing? Truck looks great I'm going to probably get the ome kit with heavy dakars and 888 because of yours haha.

Thanks for the responses and help!

 

On the 255's I averaged between 17-19 on a regular basis and I could squeeze out 21 under the right circumstances. With 285's those #'s dropped to 16-17 avg and a best of around 19.

Glad I could be of some help.

If you ever plan on adding a winch or bumper or both I strongly recommend going with the 886 spring. It will be slightly stiffer riding with just a winch only but ride like stock with both winch and bumper. Planning ahead will save you money.

I'm on almost daily so feel free to ask me anything. If I don't know I'll do my best to help you find out.

 

Thanks a ton man! For the ome kit would you recommend the 888 over the 887 if i was to get a bumper in the future?

Also, for the 285 did you run a full size spare for that? I need to figure out if I'm going to run 265/75/16 vs 285/75/16 or 255/85/16. Live in Utah so we have tons of snow which means I probably need falkens again in the 285 for snow and will need to do a cmc.

 

When you had the bfgs were they 285/75/16 e load?

 

Honestly I'd never do the 887's
I'd run 888's with 0 up to 100 additional lbs up front.
Anything heavier and I'd do 886

The 285's were load range E.

I always run with a full size spare in the bed and I still carry the stock spare underneath.

 

Copy that I may just go stiffer then from the start. On the spare tire piece I think I need to figure out what I want to do for tire size. That full size spare will be hard to fit in the bed with our gear. Might need to do the 265/75 until I can do big boys later.

Thanks for your help!!

 

Good Morning James
