UTAH (and Surrounding Areas) BS Thread

Just picked up my new tires...so stoked to get everything installed and mounted!

 

You gunna re gear with those 34's ??

 

Never Mind, thought the aspect ratio was 75, which would put it at a 33.8.

 

Re-gearing will happen, but when depends on how bad driving with these heavy MTs will be, ha! They are only 32.8 diameter and went with the C-rated vs the E-rated to save on some weight.

I have OVTune so it will help a bit, plus having true gear lock makes driving up steep grades (or not so steep grades) a breeze keeping it in a lower gear VS gear hunting the whole time.

 

I drove around for about a year with my 255/85/16's with my 2nd gen 6-spd manual. I also had load range E 33's. It was a total dog in power. Hwy and city driving was ok, but offroad, 4hi totally sucked.

I eventually went with 4:56. The truck still has no power on the hwy, but it crawls like a tractor in 4lo.

I assume with your third gen, you will want 4:88 or 5:13 depending upon what tire size you eventually want.

 

Yep! 5.29s will be with what I go with when the time comes. I've already decide to start setting some money aside for the regear because I know its only a matter of time.

 

about to go get my 70k oil change taken care of...on my 2017 taht I got in august of 2016. how did i drive so much in three years?! oh. right. southern utah.

 

The local place just put in a new auto wash so I tried it this morning.
Everything was looking great ... undercarriage, wash, rinse, spot-free, all good.
Then the blow dryer turned on, I was slowly pulling through, doing fine until the very last second ... the fan caught a bunch of suds in the bed and threw them all over the truck.



So I had to get out my quarters and rinse at the self-wash. Lesson learned.

 

Is there a good place around town to get some sliders installed for cheap? I just got quoted $550 from Jack It which seems like a total rip off.

 

Oh dear.

 

If you get bolt on ones, you could do it yourself.... I have had these for years. They arent too banged up yet. I prefer bolt on ones because I view sliders as a disposable item.

 

I had mine welded on at State Automotive in Midvale. The put on some sort of rust protection too.

 

I have bolt on ones as well due to if i damage them, i can remove them, repair or replace.

 

You can call or visit TNA Performance in Ogden and get a quote from them, but fair warning they will not let you sit and wait while they work on your truck.

 

@Gunshot-6A Help, my google news appears to be horribly broken and is spitting out insane crap ... where do I go for stuff that won’t decimate my IQ like this?

 

CNN and the other US outlets you do have to filter through the crap and the clickbait. Had a good experience with Reuters lately. Being based in London, they tend to be a little more middle ground when they cover the colonies.

In other news, the Burmese Genocide of the Rohingya community went to trial in the Hague today. The odd twist is that Aung San Suu Kyi, their current leader that is disputing the charges againt the country won her Nobel prize for documenting and speaking out from prison after she was jailed by the prior military government.

 

Me....patiently waiting for my ovtune order to ship...

 

The President speaks the truth. Y'all need to flush that many time to push all sh!t down the pipe.

 

I can attest that low flow fixtures can be a nuisance. My apt I lived in in Sandy before I bought my house had a low flow shower head and the water stream was well...flaccid. Comparatively, the shower head in my master bathroom has a pressure I can only describe as "frightening"
