Shmellmopwho DCLB EXPO BUILD

Looking good!

 

Haha thanks man! Means a lot. I have 2 weeks off right now so I'll probably be building another set of sliders and a bedrack that I won't be selling this time haha. Got so busy building stuff for people that I had to sell the ones that were on my truck. This time the stuff I build is staying on my truck! Also gonna try to get some stuff done with the new front plate bumper.

Thanks dude! Means a lot. Your truck is amazing and a huge inspiration to mine and many others on TW!

 

How's the switch from duratracs ---> MT/R's? I'm thinking about doing the same size/tire move.

Any issue with rubbing on the firewall after all the to make them fit?

 

DO IT. You won't regret it

 

You know I haven't actually had the chance to take them off-road yet so I can't answer to that yet. But as far as on road, they're not as loud in my opinion as most people claim they are, my MT/R's are a C range so they actually feel a little softer and smoother on the road. Biggest plus so far is they look so awesome!!! I love em. Once I get the chance to go wheeling with them I will put up a review here of how I like them

 

Exactly, I think they're awesome tires!!!

 

I ran 35 psi in the duratracs on road and they were a D range. I loved them! But have always had my heart set on the MT/R's!

 

Your ride must be stiff as a board

 

I'd definitely lower to 35-38psi if I were you.. I can't imagine what its like at 41

 

Wow! Yeah E load tires are pretty stiff for our sized trucks. My new MT/R's being a load range C are a softer compound rubber so theyre softer on the road and better offroad as well. The only thing that sucks is that because theyre softer rubber they wont last as long. But for me its not an issue because I drive my wifes car as a daily driver and her car gets 30mpg. So these tires should last me a while.

 

Serious? I ran my old 265 toyo mt's at 35psi and they were E rated, same with my 285 mtr's but I also have Kevlar.. I guess run them at what ever you feel comfortable running them but I thought its harsh at 40.

 

Im at 16mpg average but Im in Washington with tons of hills.. I love my MTR's though off road

 

Will do buddy! Everyone seems to love them offroad so I assume I will have the same attitude towards them. Im super stoked for you for your new armor coming in! Even though your gas milage may suffer its gonna make your truck that much more awesome! Honestly if there wasn't another reliable car for me to drive to work and stuff, I don't know if i'd have everything that I have on my truck haha. Gettin about 13.5 mpg right now lol.

 

By the way I just ordered a Honda 2000 generator and I'll be starting to build an AR-15 very soon. Feel like that goes along with the EXPO style

Also just ordered a portable Mr. Heater buddy for camping trips when it gets cold.

 

Our family is a huge fan of the heater. We use it in our tent on all trips but in the summer. I would go so far as to say that, without it, we may not be able to do what we do. Great product, and great company behind it.

 

Awesome dude! I'm stoked on it. Heard nothing but great things about them. Gotta be able to keep my wife and my little girl warm on trips. Thanks for commenting on it and being another positive review on it. Can't wait to try it out.

 

Sure. I'll comment a little further to potentially save you some pain. We use ours with an 11-pound bottle, and the Mr. Heater green hose ( it's not green color, rather it's free of plasticizer at manufacture time). If you don't use the green hose, you have to run a filter on the heater. Therefore I recommend the green hose. Tip #1. When using hoses with bottles, always open the the valve slow, or you'll trip the valves leak sensor, and valve will not work. Tip #2 Use slip-joint pliers to tighten to the hose to the heater or it will not work. All the hoses have little valves to keep stuff pressurized and when connecting the heater to the hose, more torque is required than a hand tight connection to engage the valve in the hose. Maybe they've changed things since I've bought mine 3-years ago, but that's how mine works.

I've not been able to quantify it, but I think you can get about 6-7 hours run time with a 1-pound bottle on the low heater setting.
