neslerrah 5 lug build

Yeah with light mods the 5lugs are capable... Stock they would get stuck in 2" of snow...lol I can write a book about how much the stock Dunlop Grandtrek tires suck...lol

 

hmmm.. i was looking at icons... and i saw that on this site they say the recomended tire size is 285/75/16... is that right? if i were to get those what would i need to regear to get back to stock numbers?

Using the Tire Calculator. You can regear with 4.10 or 4.56 to put your truck within factory specs.

BTW, 285/75R16 is about 32.83"

 

Thanks Colton.

Thanks. You just need to learn how your truck handles offroad in all weather, then you can take your truck just about anywhere within its limits.

 

haha mine did alright on like an inch or two, it was a little hard to get started especially since i have an auto, but i also had street tires not really meant for anything besides asphalt, the stock firestones that mine came with do pretty well, but im gonna need some new winter tires soon, hopefully i can sell my summer wheels and lift my truck

 

are you gettin icon rezzies? for the front when you upgrade?

 

For the front and rear.

Here is video of the hill near my inlaws, I did not get any videos coming up. The areas not covered in snow are solid rock formation. My inlaws live in a rural area, so the road to their home is unpaved. I have to travel about 30 miles of unpaved road to visit them.

This was a road we took to look for some firewood.

hey Harrelson, what are the exact specs for your rims, and tires. im talking sizing, offset, everything. also how much did the package run you

 

Specs of wheels are on the first post of my build under "Lift and Tires".

As for the price I bought the wheels from Shaun, a member from Mesa. I bought the American Racing Mojaves and BFG All-Terrains (31x10.5R15) from him for $600. Once I wore out the All-Terrains, I bought (4) KM2s for $885.41 out the door.

I would guess you are looking something like: 4 x AR Mojaves (~$160 each) + KM2s (~$880) so expect something around $1500.

 

Thank You!

you truly are awesome man. And you know i'm a huge fan of your truck. I took a ten day trip to orange county for the holidays and all my buddies saw my truck with the Readylift for the first time.

Everyone either asked me when i got a new truck hehehe or just gave me compliments... definitely makes the money worth it.

I have even had two people pull me over (i was expecting a fight due to road rage) but they asked where i got the TOY(yoda) sticker lol and i came out of a store to some guy taking pictures of my grill, emblem and sticker lolz....

Keep up the good fight my friend. 5 lug lifestyles!!!

 

I get compliments on the Toy YODA sticker in the back and the Autobot upfront. There have been a few times someone has taken pictures of my front bumper, because they want something similar on their trucks. There have been plenty of times, when someone comes up to me when I am putting gas in the truck. I have gotten lots of compliments on my tires, many of them are surprise I run such a big tire with no rubbing.

 

Pictures from Box Canyon Trail last weekend...

 

Nice pictures as always! Looks like a neat trail!

 

Nice Nez!

 

Dude, you're truck never fails to amaze the hell out of me. I want your tires and your skidplate. RawrararwrwrRRw

 

Hey so say I were to keep my front bumper. How much cutting would I need to do to make clearance for the 33's?

 

Thanks Jacob. We only covered like 5% of the trail. There are so many trails and areas to explore.

Thanks David.

Thanks! The KM2s have made all the difference.

You can run 33x12.5R15 with the stock front bumper with some minor rubbing. You will need to get the tires mounted on your rim and just turn your wheel at full lock to see where you need to trim. But if you decide to do so, take some pictures.

 

Will do mang.

How is your MPG?

And how did the CAI workout for you?

 

As for MPG, on the freeway, my UG says I am getting 21-22 MPG. In town I get 19-20 MPG. I have been getting some winter blend the last couple of months. But I am still happy with what I am getting with stock gears.

The CAI has really made a difference in throttle response. When I first installed it, the engine noise did increase. It may have quiet down over the last couple of months, but I still like it. IMO, definitely worth the money I spent on it. I did not have any device to measure the MPG when I installed the CAI, so I don't know if it increase/decrease my MPG. (I like to think it increase )

 

hahaha, how the hell are you still getting 20 mpg with those tires???? I put the 28.9" tires on and i'm getting 18...
