geekhouse23's "LIFE'S WAITING TO BEGIN" Overland & Home build and all the Adventures in between!

1. I think if you change size tires, yes.
2. Depends on where spacers are. Front yes, rear no
3. See above, yes/no

 

1. Went from 285/75/16 to 285/70/17
2. Front and rear previously
3. Front and rear once I get everything in and on.

 

I would do an alignment, if it were me. Id also wait until front spacers are back on. Because you changed the geometry of the wheel location. Not necessarily the the suspension though

 

Sounds good. Spacers should be in today. Might attempt to install them tonight and go tomorrow or Saturday morning.

Makes sense and I planned on doing it anyways. It's barely noticeable.

 

According to Bora, there's no extended studs available in 12x1.5 because of the knurl size. Ordered 24 standard length replacement studs for $1 a piece and they'll be here by Saturday.

He said that if I wanted extended length studs, I would have to find someone to make "custom" sizes.

 

@EatSleepTacos had some custom extended ones a while ago

 

What a silly goose. I'm running these in the rear for some slip on spacers.

Ahh a bit different.

 

Yes, possibly, yes.

 

Can't win with these "global issues" right now.

Timeline: (TLDR)

Thursday - called Bora to order the replacement studs. No extended studs for 12x1.5. Ordered the standard ones at a $1 a piece. $24 with rushed 2 day shipping. They said I would have them by Saturday since I made the cutoff for ordering.

Saturday - no studs. Cancelled my appointment for an alignment. Moved it to Thursday (tomorrow) after work. If not Friday afternoon the very latest if necessary.

Expected them yesterday the latest with the holiday. No studs.

Called them up today and asked where my studs were. Come to find out that they were closed Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday (obviously). So my studs shipped out yesterday (Tuesday).

Asked the customer service rep why I was misinformed that I would receive the studs Saturday and didn't and I also asked why I was not informed that they would be closed Friday (I'm amenable, but communicate that). I eluded to the fact that I was, essentially, misled.

The service rep said "I don't think anyone would agree that you were misled, sir."

Me - "well, when your employee says that I will have them Saturday, I expect them Saturday because I was informed that it would be Saturday. I understand if it was Tuesday the very latest, but I don't appreciate being misled."

Rep - "again, sir, you weren't misled."

Me - "agree to disagree." *Click*

Showed him.

 

Well, look what arrived a day early...



We got studs.

 

Fedex?

 

Studs for a stud huh!

 

USPS

Damn right.

 

Bora wheel spacers with fresh studs have been installed.

Has anyone had an issue where a door will lock with the remote but not unlock with the remote? Pretty sure it's something in the door. I can hear it working when it locks.

It never ends..

 

Does it work with the key or the button on the door?

I want to say the solenoids on these are the usual culprit

 

So, talk about weird. Before, it didn't work with the remote or the door button.

Tried it with the key and it worked. Let it sit and tried a few more times. Now it works with the remote and the door button.

Maybe something needed to be reset? I'm going to keep an eye on it.

Could be a solenoid on its way out?
