I did the RC 3½ suspension, and am thinking I should've done some homework, other than trusting what the shop installs. I did lose some ride quality, and am now thinking about having it re done.

Winter is coming and thinking of adding some mud flaps. I have a Summit white and while I do like the color matched Denali ones, the OEM black ones may work well. Thoughts? Suggested flaps?

I prefer the grey ones that match the plastic trim unless you want to get the color matched fender moldings too..

My lift, wheels, tires and exhaust should be in this week. Been waiting forever it seems. I will do a build thread when everything gets here.

Look good! Just checked out the Amp power steps, they look great. Really wonder how they would hood up to a Canadian winter. So far are you happy with them?

I think they're made for Les Schwab Tires under the name, 'TOYO A/T - Open Country Extreme' (that's what it says on the sidewall)

Dam she looks nice and shiny. What do you use when you wash her up?

Thanks but I have to give credit to mother nature and my Nokia Windows phone. It was late afternoon and I parked to check out the lake with my kid and when we walked back to the truck I said wow now that's a nice pic to post. She wasn't actually that clean. For products though I am a Meguiars fan. If you are not a pro and still want a kickass shine use their 3 step method Clean, Polish, Wax you will not be disappointed. Other companies offer the same 3 step process such as Mothers and I'm sure Adams would as well. Unfortunately I can't pick up any Adams products at my local Canadian Tire otherwise I would try them as a lot guys on this forum swear by the stuff.

Ok here's my 1st one; 2wd W/24s. Sold

And then the replacement 4wd AT. It will be lowered 2/4 and if I can ever find white Handles they'll be swapped!

Is this your truck on the right? You sold it?

I meant the 2wd lowered truck is that your truck that you sold?

    • There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65
