RelentlessTaco's build up

x2 plus 1

 

Nice build going on here ERIC. Would like to go thru it sometime when we catch up at the dunes. Im up there around Dunefest at the end of July. Maybe see ya there.

 

Crappy cell pic, but you guys get the idea. Better ones to follow.



I'm thinking hit the bumper with some roll on bedliner, and put the headache rack back on(blacked out also) and then tint the front windows to match the rears.

 

Looks good!

 

Looks good man. The plans sound good too

 

Here are a few pics of the preliminary cutting to fit the 35's...

This is sitting at ride height:


Need to do a bit more, then re-box the cab mount.

 

Thanks to you you got me thinkin I need bigger tires haha.

 

haha... well, its not all fun and games... I think its going to be a fair amount of work to really fit them, but to me its fine. I dont mind some cutting and maybe a bumpstop to fit em. They just look too damn sick to go back to a 33 now IMO. lol. I love the stance they give my truck.

 

Ya dude, it deffinatly looks good. I think I like 35's better on a 3" than 6", at least on the DC SB's

 

Thanks man

 

So I put about 500 highway miles on my 35's this weekend.... Looks like only minor drop in MPGs. Got 18.8 on the first leg (usually averaged right about this with my old 32's, 1/2 mpg more at best) then on the way back to college I averaged 17.7(climbed from sea level to 4200ft elevation). On the return trip, it looks like I lost maybe a 1/2 mpg as well but I was driving fairly fast/aggressive so its a little hard to tell. not bad IMO.

 

Here are a few new pics/vids after it got washed tonight.

How do you get such good mileage?!?! Truck looks sick.

 

Thanks Derek.
Ha, IDK man. Exhaust and intake help a little, and keeping an eye on the Scangauge. And I think being able to control my shifting with the 6speed helps when running oversized tires probably does too.

 

Oh how I wish I had a 6 speed.

 

Dude holy hell, that gas mileage is insane. I ordered a scan guage so I can watch my right foot now. Truck is lookin good man.

 

Truck looks great man. Definitely one of the best out there.
Cant wait to get working on my light bar.

 

Ha, thats ironic... For a while I was wishing I had a auto!

Really? Thats funny because I thought it was decent, but nothing extraordinary. What kind of mileage do you get with the 33's? You'll like the scangauge!!

Thanks Shaun. Let me know when you want to work on that light bar.

 

Well I love the automatic but that mileage sounds nice.

 

I kinda wish I had a stick too. As far as mileage, I get like 14.5
