Had some rubbing on the sway bar. Had to use 1.5" wheel spacers, front and back, to get the offset look I wanted with the factory wheels and that made the sway bar rubbing non existent. Has very minor rubbing on the inner fender at full lock but not every time. Rides like crap. I'm not a fan of Ranchos. Bilstiens will go on this week and I'll report back. Havent really drove hwy much but looks like around 16-17 mpg. May have to go with a little "calmer" tire to get some of the ride back as well, the farm truck needs rubber so might do some swappin.

 

What tire is everyone running in the "all terrain" class that rides good on highway?

I have bfg ko2's in 275/70/18 and they ride great.

Father in law has nitto terra grappler G2's and they ride pretty nice as well.

I have the Hankook ATMs in a P rating and they ride great. Had them on my Colorado and several friends run them on their full size trucks. LT's are getting over 70k miles and P's are getting well over 50k.

That's a lot of money for that car.

Not BFG's if that is your concern. All depends on how aggressive you want to go. Hankook ATM or Cooper AT3 are good choices. Hearing some good things on the Procomp AT though they are pricey. For more on road than off Michelin AT2 are hard to beat. Heard mixed reviews on the Yokohama. Kuhmo AT51 looks promising to check out too.

Wow even it being an nsx i would have a difficult time spending nearly a 1/4 million on a honda!

Not that bad considering other cars that compete as well across the grid are about 350-475k

Been lurking on this forum since I bought my truck 2 years ago lol guess I figured Id finally fire back up the photo bucket and post some photos. My 2014 Supercharged SLT.

 

Edit: Truck is for sale btw... :tear::nopity:

I picked up a 2017 Sierra All-Terrain on the weekend.

Mods on the truck so far:
- 2 inch leveling kit for the front
- 33 inch Duratrac tires
- 20% tint on the front
- Xpel protective film on front bumper, hood, grill, mirror caps, headlights / fog lights, and A pillars.
No chrome for 2017 !

    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
