    LOL at pic psyche.

    The OEM 16 inch alloy offroads are about 22 lb.
    F5 is 19 lb (same as Konig CS).
    Sealth 6 is
    • Backspacing: 4.30" / 5.50"
    • Weight: 24lbs / 29lbs

    The Cooper ST Maxx 265/75 16 are also E rated will be a lot heavier that the stock Dunlop Grandtrek Suckmaster 245/65 16s, so I really wanted a lighter wheel than OEM to help offset the additional rotational weight, even if it is just a few pounds. That's like 14% for just the wheels. I'll take it.

    Hit 10,000 miles today. I bought the truck on November 28, 2014. It's been just over 15 months so that is an average of 667 miles a month. That's not a whole lot of driving, but I have a 2002 VW GTI that I drive to work to keep the miles off of the truck.

    It makes a huge difference! Sure my little car is pretty beat up, but the truck is like new.

    I like that about you. Your build thread will most likely win some TW awards this year.

    Thanks! I like it clean now, but someday I want mine to look more like yours. RRT included!

    First, great photo skills! They definitely have the catalog / magazine quality look. 2nd, nice build! I have almost the same set up. You've done a great job! Keep it up and keep posting photos. :thumbsup::thumbsup:

    Random iPhone photo from a recent trip to the airport. I have been working (mostly out of state) so there I have barely been able to drive my truck, let alone do any modifications. Hopefully I will continue the upgrades this Spring/Summer.
