So I was lucky enough to get the RC level fit while it was on sale and have since milled it down to a lift of 1.5", and this morning I placed the order for the Zone Offroad 3" body lift. Next on the list are the step bars to hide the frame and of course the new wheels and tires. Unfortunately I don't plan on installing anything until the wheels & tires are here since I don't want to drive around with the lift on stock wheels/tires for a few months. Just wanted to share my happy news.

 

 

If I go with the XD Monster wheels in black, do you think they will be ok to use in the winter months? Or should I go back to the stock wheels over winter?

Where do you live? I have KMC XD rockstars. Any of the chrome/shiney shit will get destroyed by the salt. Last year I took the wheels off for the winter, this year i left them on. here in pittsburgh we just had about 3 straight weeks of daily snow, so no chance to keep the wheels clean.. I just cleaned them yesterday, n i know im gonna have to give them a touch up come spring time. The chrome coated plastic is getting ate up.

 

With that said ill always leave them on now for winter, the snow is so much fun with some big wide meats on.

I don't know what to tell you about winter months since winter down here isn't really a winter. But I love my black XD Monsters. Great choice on level, body lift, and wheels. Can't wait to see it :confused:

Now I just ordered the Go Rhino Dominator III steps. That extra rear step is going to make it nicer reaching into the upper bed of the truck, especially with it being 3 inches higher. Wheels and tires next...

Good choice on the Go Rhino steps. I think if I would be any shorter I would have gone with the III's but the II's are perfect for me. Goodluck with the wheels and tires

It's a pain to wash the back window and top of the truck standing on those steps. The truck will look sweet when it's done. Be sure and post up pics of the progress.

The Go Rhino Dominator III steps got here last week. Here is a quick pic

I have yet to see an installed picture of these yet. By that I mean with this new aluminum machined "kick plate" installed above the step. Not sure that I like those extra pieces yet or not. I need to take a closer look, but my guess is that they are removable.

I didn't even notice the new plate in the pictures until I read what you put underneath. Idk if that would help much as I don't think I would even get my foot on that part while climbing in or out. I think I like them better without the extra plate.

I agree. I have never stepped on or against that main bar and I vote for removing them. You could also have the "kick plates" rhino lined...that may look good and add some traction/protection as well.

I kind of made up the "kick plate" idea. I thought that it may be a useful place to knock snow off of your shoes before getting in. Once installed I'll look at them with & without and go from there.

 

The wait is killing me now. I won't be ordering the wheels for another 4 weeks... everything else is here.

      Gas Prices

      Can ask that about a lot of places.   Holiday sells 91 for $1 over 87 octane. BP 93 is 80 cents. Amoco 93 is 80 cents Kwik Trips is $1.20 for 92 or whatever they have and $1 for the 91.   I know that this is not exactly same as what you are saying with the premium to premium debate of those two stations but why is there such a difference. Top Tier this and that, it's all BS. All the fuel comes from the same damn refinery, so give me a break.

      Why does Mobil Premium cost 90 cents a gallon more than Shell Premium when their regular offerings are but pennies apart?

      Was all the way down to $3.69 a gallon but then jumped back to $3.99 just because for some reason.   Diesel floats between $4.80's to $5.10ish a gallon. I even saw Diesel #1 for $6.09 today but nobody in there right mind even buys that in the summer.

      OTA updates and radio still cuts out

      Mine just keeps lagging or getting stuck on the reverse camera. When I turn off the truck, get out, and close the door it will still stay on. It’s very intermittent and I would not be able to duplicate the issue.

      Gas Prices

      I was checking out fuel prices at my farm fuel retailer at their pumps and yes the farm price is a bit lower than the non dyed fuel and was glad to see that the regular farm gas price has dropped a lot from what it had been but what blew me away was the price of diesel as the spread now compared to before the prices went up earlier in the year, diesel was actually slightly lower than gas which was a switch from the theme the last number of years. However that sure isn't the theme lately and definitely not right now. The prices I will post are not from that retailer but just looking at gasbuddy for the main city in this area and instead of posting the lowest price someone found I will list the higher price ( and that may not be the highest price, just whatever someone posted on gasbuddy ).   So regular gas and there are a lot of stations listing the same price for regular is 1.68 a liter, premium 2.00 a liter. Diesel 2.03 a liter for a top price I saw on diesel.   Figures out to 6.36 a us gallon Canadian funds for regular and 7.68 for diesel. With the US exchange rate it would be 4.58 us for regular and 5.53 for diesel.    Thought I would figure that out to get a picture of what it settles out like compared to various US prices and its about the same as the current price in Fairbanks AK as Anchorage tends to be lower. So yes, these would be the prices and higher along the way on the Alaska highway where they know they have a captured market !, for fuel prices for those beginning the long drive back to the lower 48   The problem is our Canadian dollar and going to the states that have the high prices, boy do we pay then !
