Yeah, this is all assuming that you want a RTT. I have zero interest in one personally, but I know others love theirs. I've never used one though, so perhaps I am missing out, but it just doesn't seem like it would fit into how I use my truck.
1) I have kayaks I put on my rack. These would...
True true. I ask the same question though of your RTT and rack in general. If you're planning on removing your RTT when you're not using it, the default option (imo) would be to have an overhead winch system in your garage. To which I say that the same system can be used to remove your...
Herm... I don't understand their data. They're saying that the engine used to be Mexico, and is now US made. I realize that there was some confusion as to where it was made back when it launched (answer, it's always been made out of ohio), so perhaps that's where that came from.
But then I...
True, a bed height one would be better for CG as well as fuel economy. However, it will also 100% block any visibility out the rear window. Obviously so do a ton of trailers and other options, so that's not a 100% deal breaker for people. One thing that I might consider if I was to just do it...
So there are 7 pages of replies that I'm not going to read through, so I apologize if what I'm saying has been discussed already - at least you know it's not a biased opinion based off of others' thoughts.
1) I would probably recommend getting the Outpost (or similar from another brand)...
Sorry, you're going to have to be a bit more specific. What back seat alarm? The only thing I can think of is when you have someone who belts in back then, and then unbuckles. Is that the concern?
I emailed him a few months ago and he said there wasn't enough demand, and such has stopped production. Which made me sad because they were on my list of purchases for over a year and I never pulled the trigger :(.
Thats why I ordered everything over the last few months, a lot of places were out of stock or back ordered or 12 week lead time. I ordered it back in March, but they previously were out of stock, and after contacting them, they said they'd be back in stock shortly. You could try seeing what...
Haha, yeah, the spindle is the issue. And if it doesn't clear that, I can't drive the truck! I mean, in theory, a 285 should only be 10mm wider on each side than the stock 265s... and there's like 15mm of clearance to the spindle as is. So I *should* be okay... but that seems mighty close for...
I have everything but the tires ordered and waiting for me at my family's place. I was out of the country for a year, and couldn't help but shopping for the truck :P... Tires and the winch I was waiting on getting back to order (winch has since arrived), and I only recently settled on the...
It shouldn't be anything special of a build. I'm just looking to have some good confidence in going wherever I want up in the upper pennisula because there are some roads and forest roads that the factory nav keep taking me on that are just not really real roads. I remember back a few years...
That's a good idea. I am planning on doing all 5. Let me look into the FactionFab's lead time, if that's not an unreasonably long lead, that might be the best path forward. Thanks for the suggestion.
I wouldn't plan on keeping the shim, but I'm heading out to my family's place to put the lift and tires and everything together, and just want a back up plan before I spend any real $$ on FactionFabs spacers that I may not need. But I need to be able to drive back home :).
Hey guys, so I am planning to get 285/70R17 Falken Wildpeaks on the stock wheels. I'm not 100% sure whether or not they clear the spindles (from what I've read on the forums here, some 285s do clear, but perhaps not all of them). So I was thinking I wanted to pick up a .25'' / 5mm spacer as a...
Here's my setup. I just bought random 42'' LED light bars (single row) from Amazon - one for each side, and mounted them between the towers - they're secured but loose enough that I can rotate them. I still haven't actually used them along with the paddles to know if I need to relocate the...
Yup, but there are two huge differences between the two instances... First, the door cladding is perpendicular to the axis of motion. There's only a very small amount of overlap that needs to be dealt with on the fuel door scenario. But second and more importantly, there's a large difference...
Looking at that picture, I think you could design it such that the outer visible edge wouldn't have a notch for the hinge. Obviously the bottom left corner is the area of concern, but the height of the flare right there is relatively small. Notch the backside of the flare (such that you don't...
So everything said thus far is correct, but let me elaborate.
1) Yes, the fuel shuts off in those circumstances. An i4 engine like this is going to have about ~30Nm of torque needed to just turn everything when it's around idle speed. Obviously the higher the engine RPM the more torque it...
