In my opinion, your tires look good in that picture. If it were my truck, I wouldn't change it.

Just FYI, they're the same. When I was researching my rails (went with Westin HDX), Havoc was on backorder and they actually told me on the phone to buy the Nfabs because they're the same rail. Nfab and Havoc are sister companies.

I was told they are two different companies. I was able to negotiate a much better deal on the NFabs. They also have a lifetime warranty, the Havocs did not per the rep. 

 

Those also dont look like Westin HDX to me, I looked at those and they were much more angular. Perhaps it's the photo or a different oset I never seen. Either way, looks good.

Yes, they are 2 different companies but owned by the same parent company (hence sister companies). At the time, I wanted the Havocs and hadn't seen the Nfabs, it was the Havoc rep that told me to buy the Nfabs because they weren't sure how long the Havocs would be on backorder (and about them being the same step design). Lifetime warranty would sell me on the Nfabs over the Havocs.

 

Yes, the Westins are an entirely different look. I read about some Nfab quality issues (at the time) and widened my look. Got down to the Westins and Magnums. The Westins have some of the biggest steps of any step rails on the market (front steps are a little over 15" wide, back over 11" wide). Then I found them on Amazon, and between the Amazon deal and a $33 Amazon gift credit I had, I saved $100 over retail. Sold. And honestly, I really like the Westins.

 

I also like the Nfab/Havocs and hope you enjoy yours!

I cant confirm or deny their relationship, I can only go off what I was told from a rep. As per the NFabs, another $140 off also helped seal the deal. It pays to be kind and talk through the deal.

I agree. I was impressed that the Havoc rep shared the Nfab info with me. Glad to hear you got a good deal as well!!

Looks great. Do you have any closer side shots that show off the wheels?

Here's a couple shots of my '16 that up until today I thought was blue. Turns out it's Slate Gray Metallic. Oh well I still love this truck.

Nice! Where did you get that grille?

As far as I know its factory. I also found out that since it was initially exported to Canada it has a True North Edition code on the build sheet. Still researching what that includes.

Welcome, what’s your setup?

 

Did you have to change your Upper control arms with the 2.5 in up front?

    • No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.      
    • Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.
    • I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?   
    • Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
