2015 Sport Build

Took another .75 or so off the rears. Almost had a bro lean going for a while. Alignment is set for Friday so I can finally drive it again

 

Haven't done too much lately. Just used a small, silicone coupler at the end of my cowl intake piping to stop some vibrations. Seemed to work but I haven't driven it yet. Also removed a decent amount of preload a few weeks ago and finally was able to get an alignment this past Friday. Rides a lot smoother now

 

Did some camping this past weekend. I think my inner boot of my driver CV is leaking. I’m hoping a hose clamp will fix the issue. Didn’t see any tearing in the actual boot. Need some work on my Astro though

 

Haven’t done much lately, I’ve been busy with work. But I was able to go camping for a night the past two weekends. Looks I need to replace my inner boot

 

Hey gruber! Just going through your thread again, and I’m curious how much you took out from your fenders, I’m going 35’s today and gonna be cutting my fenders today

 

Sorry man just saw this. I did about 2.75 inches in the front and about 2.25ish inches in the rear. The fronts may be closer to 3. I would start with 2.5 and see how u like them. Can always trim more but can’t add more.

 

No worries at all! Ended up not cutting yesterday, need to go to a buddies house so I can take the wheels off. Gotta love apartment living.

 

Truck hasn’t been driven much due to the leaking CV boot. Going to try and install a new boot this weekend, been crazy busy with work lately. Also, ordered this bad boy today! Pretty exited

 

Head unit is all hooked up. Took me hours to figure out how to wire the damn thing... the instructions were non existent. Also, the metra dash kit is absolute SHIT. Doesn’t fit at all. New Scosche kit came today so I’m hoping that fits

 

Finally... After countless hours, ditching the metra kit and buying a Scosche, it’s finally in. Literally 75% of the time was trying to get it to fit. Pioneer 2660 NEX. Fitment is still iffy, but I’m over it... maintained backup camera as well, which is cooL

 

Way to perserve! I think it looks great.

 

So this happened today... 4.56 gears will be installed in September. Making the drive from the Seattle area to southern Cali (18+ hours). My wife is okay with it since it’s also going to be a mini vacation for her thanks to @socalexpeditions for putting together the group buy with insane pricing.

 

What made you decide to go What made you decide to go 4.56 rather than 4.88?

 

I’ve been doing some reading and think it will fit my needs better. It’s more of a daily for me and don’t think I’ll need 4.88. I don’t rock crawl or wheel it ever, just figured it would be overkill. Seems like a lot of people are happy with 4.56. I’m assuming you’re regeared?

 

fair enough! Nope, still rolling stock gears till next year. Doesn’t bother me too bad, I don’t get too deep into the gas pedal

 

Are you auto or manual?

 

auto

 

Damn I have 33’s and it’s rough lol

 

I have 4.56 and i heard if you do a decent/more highway driving, 4.88s are better..

That being said, my truck used to be my daily driver and I do alot of highway when Im on a trip, and I get around 220 miles to a tank. Thats including some sort of conversion that I did for my 35s. Who knows if thats correct. It could be more

 

I heard the opposite, 4.88s were worse for highway. Do you like 4.56?
