Safety Freak Parent Help!!!

I've read that the nittos aren't that loud and the KM2's just ain't worth shit in the rain

 

no mud tire ever made is worth shit in the rain. they are made for mud

 

I have the bf goodrich A/T and I think they look terrible, what do you guys think my exact lift and tires should be? Prices would be even better

 

please refer to the last 3 pages of this thread

 

I have Trail Grapplers, they do horrible in rain (I just drive slow and careful to make up for it) The highway noise isn't too bad, I can stand it and with the radio on I don't even notice it.

But back to what everyone else was saying.. You want a spacer and block lift? Wut?

 

Haha thanks bud

Anyone got any prices for these lifts?

 

please refer to the last 3 pages of this thread.


you can also check the vendor section for DSW and Toytec

 

5100's or Nitrochargers, 885 coils for the front and either the 1.5" or 2" AAL for the rear and again either 5100's or Nitrocharger shocks for the rear. Wheels and tires, no comment but I think you'd be happier with a good A/T rather than an M/T just for looks... It'll actually perform well on the road, be quiet and still capable off road. Mud tires are for MUD and not many are great in anything other than mud.

 

The whole title says it all to me. IMO you need full OME kit, 885's, dakars, TC UCA's, or about $1500. Maybe you should go get yourself a job, save, and see how it is to spend that kinda coin on a lift so your truck looks "cool." Workman did when he was in high school. Way cooler to spend your own money too. $1500 Christmas present! Your parents are just worried that a cheap lift might hurt their little boy...

 

I'm in love with 09YotaMans build, he has the 5100's and nitto TG's but I'm not sure, I'll most likely go with the 5100 lift and give up the extra $$$ but still going with a M/T, I'm sure they won't be too bad noise wise, as long as they're not as bad as the Mickey Thompson Baka claw tires my dads jeep has

 

I do have a summer job, 6-7 days a week and I made about $3000 last year but spent $1300 on an in dash NAV, I do know what its like to manage money

 

I do commend you for having a job and making your own money but making $3k and spending almost 1/2 on an in-dash nav is very poor money management. It's no ones business how you handle your fianances but your own but I wouldn't throw out that as an example of exemplory money management...

That being said, save your money once again and get yourself a better lift next year. It will last you a long time and ride great!

 

Well it wasn't my choice exactly, parents wanted me to get an in dash navigation, actually money well spent and as saved my ass a couple of times

 

So your parents "forced" you to buy an in dash nav...lol ok. When you could buy a garmin for $150 that will accomplish the same thing...

 

Dude, I would just be STOKED that my parents bought me a 2011 TX Pro.

 

Damn buddies at school.....no homosexual!

 

Haha really I'm straight....my buddy took my phone and decided to write that on here, no homo

 

It's amazing I survived for 35 years before I got sat-nav. Not knowing where you are and where you are going can be fatal.

I've ran spacer for two years with no problems, only thing is they do make your ride rough so be prepared, I'll upgrade eventually to something better, but for now on my budget that's all i can afford
