Hypothetically I get divorced, what should I upgrade? And go!

After my 14 state, 5,000 mile road trip, my 36,000 mile warranty has expired. That was fast. Looking to add some reasonable upgrades to my truck. Thought about a 3” lift but didn’t want to waste $$$ on a lift and decide later should of got a 6” lift. Didn’t want to drop $4k on wheels and tires yet but my friend has pro wheels he’d sell me at a “friends discount” . Yes 2018 pro wheels. My buddy just spent a ton on new wheels. Well, thanks in advance!

 

The wife?

 

Make sure you have something left to upgrade, and to upgrade with, hypothetically, after the lawyer is done with you.

If looking bleak, upgrade the lawyer.

 

That's what I did. Went younger, slimmer, better looking. Win, win and WIN.

 

Ha. I’m a complete A-hole. You know how long it took to find this one ? No. I’m keeping the wife. Plus I can use the money that I would use for chid support to upgrade the truck!

 

You missed the bank account. That other stuff will wear off.

 

4k on wheels/tires?

 

$1500 just tires .. plus mounting on rims and rims $20 per tire. Then the rims $800 used to $1,200 new ....plus $60-$100 shipping

Ok $2000-$3,000

 

Don't forget about $300 worth of Advil for all those headaches you'll get trying to stuff 37s under there.

 

If you've already got 36k miles on a 2017, 37s are probably not a good choice. I remember reading through your 5k mile road trip thread and you mentioning fuel costs. 37s would make that trip way less comfortable, and way worse on fuel economy. I'd probably dial it down a tad considering how you use your vehicle, but that's just me.

 

You have a 4x4, so isn't anything above 3" lift a pain in the ass?

 

Ignore these guys! Go for the gusto, why stop at 37’s?

 

I mean obviously this... But if youre going over 33's k02s don't seem like a good choice.

 

I’m sure every thing will be a pain . I know next years trip is to the Arches
in Utah,

Moab,and possibly Canyonlands . I want to be ready to hit a trail but not bust my budget.
I’m thinking not adding tires or wheels. My buddy told me $800 for his pro rims and $200 for the tires. (my tread is still great) I rotate those puppies every 5k. I’m just worried about clearance on some trails. It’s a stock sport and I have the wind dam below the bumper i need to remove. I’m saving it and may put it back after the trip. I’m thinking light bars ... a ton of them. No idea what I’ll need but more lights in the desert may come in Handy. My wife has no idea why I need a low clearance bumper , winch, Skid plate and enough lights to make LAX look like a backyard patio compared to the ideas swarming in my head.

Help. Stop me..., or any ideas will be appreciated.
Yes the 3” lift is probably all I’ll ever need , if at all.

 

@Graf_Taco made in on White Rim with a longbed OR loaded down with no lift and a winch/bumper on the front. You should be good on stock trim. We even did a little wheeling in Arches and while it scratched with the hitch a few times, no other issues.

 

Yes you need all the light. Start with my baja designs light bar I'm trying to get rid of.

 

dont cheap out on a lift. go big, king, fox, or ICON

get the wheels and tires

 

Awesome

Awesome I’ll just add some lights Incase we are out past dark. I learned my lesson scorpion hunting in Dayton, Nevada. ... off road lights are a necessity!

 

Damn it!!!!!!
Is there a company you recommend to order?
