Cooks 2000 4x4 build with some BS

I'm running 285/75r16 ko2's

I rub my frame a full lock when not flexing, pinch weld rubs barely when flexing. I'm running ext travel kings set at whatever height they shipped them at and built right uca's.

 

Oh thats pretty neat. Ive lived on my family farm in madison my whole life (which isnt that long but still) and my grandparents and cousins live in cville/crozet.

 

How much trimming did you do?

 

Cville has grown a quite a little bit in the last 5 years or so, it's much bigger than I remember when I was a kid and we would visit.
I've never really been to Crozet, UVA is pretty much as far south as we usually go when we're not driving into Cville on 81.

My favorite road to drive up there has got to be stony point rd (20), when i stayed up there i lived with family that lived almost directly across from the stony point elementary school and I have family that lives south on stony point rd down near proffit rd, I was able to borrow a Mazda Miata and that car was a lot of fun driving up and down that road, I really miss it.

 

What's your fuel mileage like?

 

I'm not really sure where that is but my grandparents live a few minutes away from uva and my parents both went there for college. I live about 30-40 minutes from the middle of cville.

 

One of my cousins used to live about 4 blocks from UVA, it was a nice area but I didn't like how it was in the city, and one of my other cousins works at UVA hospital, but I'm not sure where that's at compared to UVA.
I haven't spent a whole lot of time in downtown Cville, most of my time in Cville was spent at the movies or shopping at Kroger for friends and family.

If you've ever driven from Pantops to Barboursville you probably drove on 20, it's just an awesome road to drive in summer, spring, and fall, in winter it gets a little bit sketchy if you try to drive to fast.
Also on 20 theres a good little rise in the road, it's fun to hit fast but you can catch air if you're not careful (supposedly about 10 years ago one of my older cousins caught air in a fully loaded service van).
This is where the little rise is.

Did more smashing with a 5lb hammer than trimming other than the plastics, those I trimmed way back. I can take some pics tomorrow.

I got 15 mpg on the way back from San Diego a couple months ago, I really haven't been tracking it since then. It didn't get a whole lot worse from before the tires, definitely accelerates slower though. Going to regear eventually which will get me slightly better mileage and better acceleration.

 

What load range?
I'm getting 13-14 with 265/75 load range E Goodyear wrangler Authorities.

 

I want to say they are load range C or D, can't remember.

 

Well you have a lot more weight that I do so I can understand that

Post em up! I posted mine a few goes back. Guess I could update my OP with info on it

Y?

 

They just sag too much now. Especially when I have my tent, rear bumper, gas, and camping gear.

 

Uh oh. How many miles are on them? Truck loaded most of the time?

 

I see

 

About 32k miles on them. And it has the rtt/bedrack and now rear swingout bumper for most of the year except winter and also a plano trunk with a lot of shit in it all the time. When unload them for camping they say way too much for my liking. I'm talking negative arch ride height. They are about level with my front lift with the rtt on. And I do have the aal in as well. Only thing that's keeping me from buying a different pack such as all pro expos is the flexibility of the dakars. They flex extremely well.

 

Get the AAL. It'll compensate for the weight in the rear.

 

Here's my favorite 2
16" 6.8 ARP set up for hunting with a 3-9x40 Nikon on it


7.5" 556 SBR, my absolute favorite truck gun/home defense gun, it has a holosun 403c red dot and a stream light TLR-1 HL light.


I have 3 other uppers (16" 556, 11.5" 556, and a 18" 223 Wylde) to put optics on and change hand guards but I'm not gonna mess with those until I get a suppressor paid for.
