Does anyone know where to find the backspacing of any of the stock wheels that out trucks come with? Or do we just have to pull out the measuring tape?

 

Don't think those basturds gave me enough wires... Think I'm missing a red to go to the battery and a black ground

 

Should be 5.5 inches

 

Thats what you get for 20 bucks. I paid 15 bucks for mine so I am not pissed that they leaked

 

Is your switch a three wire or two wire

Thanks. I actually though my sport rims were only 7" wide. If I go back to stock size rims I would try to get those Trail Edition rims.

 

AJ, the wiring diagram that came with that kit will let the lights be hot all the time, meaning even with the truck off, the lights will still work (or, if you leave them on, they will drain your battery). The other bad part about that wiring diagram is it runs the accessory power through the switch. Just a general note but if you get higher powered lights, you don't want to do that unless you know the switch can handle the load, for those LEDs, I'm sure it's fine.

Those aren't just minor LEDs and will probably have enough draw to where they should be on their own circuit. If it were me, I'd want them wired so they can only be on when the truck is running but that requires a relay and possibly an add-a-circuit, both are cheap and available at any auto parts store. You can wire them up the way the directions tell you do, just go from the battery, through the in-line fuse, through the switch and to the lights if you want, they will work. If you want to get fancier, let me know and I can tell you how to wire them so they'll shut off when the truck is turned off.

 

Usually aftermarket lights like that come with a relay. Must really be a cheap set.

 

Three "pin" it says. I'm a lost puppy right now hahah I'm about to use speaker wires. Says online there the same. Everyone thing online is true right?

I got 2 red wires and 2 black wires. both with connections that fit into the 2 LED lights I got. No wire for ground an no for battery

 

The LEDs are probably really low draw. That's my guess why they don't have a relay in the kit.

 

Yeah there 100% cheap shit. Listen I cant be spending $100's on science experiments haha.

 

Leave that to me! I spend $1,000+ on a viscosity test.

Good info, but that site shows more what would fit the vehicle, rather than specific rims the vehicles come with.

 

Hey Guys/Gal(s),

anyone use these things for their diff/tranny breathers instead of the extension mod ?

Pretty heavy duty rubber; seems really well made. Doesn't seem like it would break off any easier than a hose.

 

Interesting! I have no idea what kind of volume change the differential breather needs to account for.

 

Final product^^^ not so bad . Think I'm leaving that bull bar off for awhile... Or forever..



Little axe/shovel mod. ^^^




LED light mod had been postponed for awhile :/

 

Yeah, that's what I was wondering as well. What is the volume of air in our diffs and how hot do they get. might this thing look like a balloon at times and a pancake at others ? I would be worried that there would not be enough air volume to resolve the sudden cooling/vacuum issue and then you could get water drawn in via the axle seals.

 

I hope you don't have too much road rage...
