Thanks!

 

I actually kinda like the stock wheels. One day I might do wheels since I plan on keeping the truck for 10+ years. I'd rather get rid of the stock tires first. Not impressed with them at all.

Are they still putting the garbage goodyear wrangler sras on the 18" stocks for 2016? If so, i agree... they gotta go Edited by dbcooper

Yep. Same tires. Not impressed with the traction at all. Now granted, I've never owned a pick up before and there's a little learning curve to driving without weight on the rear tires. But I get this thing sideways more often than I feel it should on wet backroads. Same with getting into the ABS when braking on wet roads. And it's not a question of driving ability either. I'm a police driving instructor, so I've driven a pretty good selection of vehicles at lots of different speeds.

At least the winter is probably over here this year. I'll likely run the stock tires up until the winter and switch over to some Duratracs or something similar.

After years of bashing spacers, I some talked myseld into purchasing a set. I called up Bora and ordered a set of hub centric 1.5" steel spacers for the rear. They will be built sometime within the next 5 days and shipped. Pictures will of course be posted.

 

thanks guys.. now you know why I'm struggling with the choice.. I've never seen chrome switchblades like the front, which makes me lean that way.. then I look at the black and think they look great too.. killing me...

Thanks for the vote

Personally I think the chrome switch blades look cheap. The design of that wheel with a chrome finish makes it hard to see the edges/lines of the wheel. Which then make it look big and bulky and appear cheap. Out of the two I vote the blackones.

I'll have to look into one of those. I've always bought Extang, but I haven't had luck with the last two that I've bought. Time for a change.

I had a flex, it was either a lemon or I'm picky but I always had standing water in the bed after the truck sat in the rain. I have a tonno pro hard fold now, it doesn't leak. Functionality isn't as good as the flex was from an latching mechanism and you can only get 2/3 bed access unless your remove the cover. I'm not totally satisfied because of that but, I paid less than $500 shipped and I can't bring myself to drop $700+ on another cover.

    • It was never mandated.  Ever.    Automakers were incentivized to install it by getting CAFE credits to help with their vehicle fleet fuel economy scores.  They were being handed money/CAFE credits to install it.  Which is NOT a mandate.       The current admin removed the incentives that were behind them installing it.       
    • Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!
    • If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.
    • My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.    
    • I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w
