    Yea it's expensive. I put over $5k in my truck the summer I went to 315's.


    Nice

    Probably not. It would be fun to do some wheeling, but idk if I'll be able to swing the vacation time. I'm already missing work for a week at the beginning of March to go snowboarding in Colorado. And I'm trying to save a week of vacation time to carry over to 2017 and take a 3 week road trip to snowboard all over out west.

    You can drive on any gear ratio with any tire size, it's just not good for the drive train. I've seen one member blow an auto trans because he was on 35's with stock gears. You regear to make it easier on the engine and transmission. And by doing that you also make it easier to drive and closer to stock acceleration.

    If you're going to wheel on 35's with 3.73 gears atleast use your transfercase to keep some of the strain off the transmission. 4low anytime you're in 4x4 below 20 mph

    yeah for sure just go right to 35s. That is if you're willing to cut up the truck. I had to cut mine to fit 285s quite a bit, and then i went from 285s to 36s and all that was involved was a little fender trimming.

    I definitely wanna cut this bish up! Like @JLink said, if you know what you want the truck to look like just doiett! I really dig the trimmed out fenders on our trucks. The thing is I really like skinnies, so I'm thinking 285s are a bust.. not gaining height, just width. I'd really like a 36" or 37" tire and stay around 10.5" wide but the only option out there are swampers. I've been looking at the 315/70/17 Cooper Maxxs with a 12.8" width tire.. They aren't "skinnies" but a solid looking size. Now the 37-1250r17LT might be the skinny I'm looking for lol. Just figuring I need at least 2Gs to go bigger than 33". Unless I win a billion dollars, saving starts now :bored:

    285 is closer to 11.5" wide. I think mine are 11 1/4" wide

    Monday I started keeping my camp setup in the truck, on these cold days working outside I decided to have hot soup for lunch this week.

    7A42DECB-EC75-4A1C-B98D-EB4EFF9B2335_zps_50c8ce7924a1c33150310113f355f2268fbb8dfa.jpg

    Turned out to be so good I added grilled cheese with soup to the menu. Inspired by lunch possibilities, I decided to bare the cold and install the fridge setup.
    Thank you again @2012Taco for the slide brackets, really made for a clean and easy install. :cheers:

    Stoked to find my camp boxes fit perfectly behind it. As things change I will rearrange and reorganize my setup. Ideally would like to swap out the boxes for drawers.

    With night cover got a couple shots with the awning lights. Will get more when I finish it up, still wanna run white and amber lights on the outer track.
