Pelfrey-Build

Looks nice Tyler. After wheeling with Bob and Brady this last weekend on the lava rock in Idaho it was clear how much little tires suck. Having a hellova hard time deciding what i'm going to do next. Not sure I want to go 35's cuz my new job has me commuting 50 miles per day The setup you just went with looks promising.

 

did you mess up your truck doing that lava rock run??

 

Ya, I was pretty torn with these or 35's then a customer stopped in with a set of these in the back of his truck, he put 40 miles on them and they were not a good fit for him. $850 for all 5 made up my mind for me and I didn't have to cut any more.

 

you stole them! good deal!

 

Nope. I have front, mid, and transfer skids (pelfrey), rear diff skid, sliders, cbi rear HC bumper. All skids and sliders have a few new scrapes but got thru just fine. Had to be spotted in a few of the gnar spots. Didn't go a few places brady and bob did because I dont have a front bumper yet

That trail is awesome tho, great challenges. I posted a bunch of the shots in the Idaho BS thread and I know Bob (nyco) is still holding on to some of me coming thru some good sections.

 

No shit! damn dude. I wish someone would make up my mind for me! Let us know how they work out all around man

Edit: haha didnt mean to have that sound like "thanks captain obvious" Luke

 

I was set on the 255's but a deal came up on 285's so I got them. They have been great IMO and am glad I didn't go with 255. I've seen them on a few trucks in person and to me they are too skinny for my liking.

all good

 

I've thought about that too. but I could get over the skinny part if my milage stays up.

 

about to get one of these for my truck

that's pretty good. Grammar nazi tho, shouldnt there be a comma in there?

 

i will file a complaint with toytec

 

I'll let you know how the mileage changes from the heavier 285's. I'm pulling a lot of weight and wind drag so it will never be great but a little more never hurts. I only get about 11 now, can squeak 13 on the highway at times.

 

im still about 16-17

 

Well are you just fucking special

 

more like pleased

 

11-13, ouch. Your foot must be really heavy, does it make it hard to walk too? haha jk

 

That really is impressive mileage, you should be pretty pleaseed with that. I dont care too much since the shop is about a mile from the house but hunting season takes me a good ways from home every weekend so that adds up having to fill up every 200 miles

 

I drive like an old man, not sure why I get what I get, my old man has an 06 with nearly same setup, little lighter and no roof rack, he gets 18 all day long on 285's, all terrains tho.

 

huh. too many variables...

 

Before regear I could get about 17-18mpg on the 255's.
