90yota's "BROVERLANDER" build/work in progress SOLD

I like my Grabbers besides the fact they aren't so great in the snow and they are heavy about 10lbs heavier than the kbros

 

Do your tires not like the snow?

 

Not really. I checked it's rating on tire rack and they get terrible reviews for snow. After driving around I understand why.

 

Well I don't know why but my truck is leaking gear fluid from the front. I had the ecgs bushing done when I had my gears done and it's spewing gear oil out by the shaft. I got under it and shook the cv. Had a lot more play than the passenger side. I have a feeling the bushing was never installed. I guess we'll see tomorrow when I pull it apart.

My favourite 3rd gen on here, wonder how it would look with tan wheels to match the soft topper

 

Thanks, that's why I went with copper. Still close but compliment each other

 

Check to make sure it's not coming out of the breather. I thought mine was doing the same thing but it ended up being excess blowing out of the breather.

 

Just interesting how it's leaking now vs June when I had the gears done. I'll check the breather. I've been using 4wd a lot with the snow we've had and could be pushing out excess.

 

Found my leak. Damn breather tube popped off. Bad part is that's its too short and I cant get it back on. So looks like I'm making my own line and breather. Does anyone have the tube and breather links?

 

hmm....

 

Dude I just switched to the kbro2’s from my grabbers and it’s like night and day!

 

Nice, they are so damn heavy. Lol did you notice mpg gains?

 

probably +6 mpg

 

Haha shit it that was factually proven I would pull the trigger right now.

 

Lol I’m averaging about 20 now where as with the grabbers id get 19 if I was lucky, so not a whole lot, they feel much lighter which might just be placebo but I’ll take it

 

That’s about what I got when I swapped to my 37” AT’s.

 

Oh correction. I get 6mpg total after those tires.

 

6 mpg before or after correction for Speedo error?

 

Oh I was just kidding. Thankfully I don’t get six mpg! More like 10-11 uncorrected.

@90yota I’m going to suffer through a tank and drive in D only and tell you if the gas mileage changes.

Manually driving after 3 tanks the gas mileage isn’t any different than pre-tune.

The extra power sure is nice though.
