Finally got my Method NV's installed. I got a good deal on CL for them in Dec, but just never got around to getting them put on. I went with the KO2 and love the look. Lost a little power to the extra rotating mass but it was less than I had feared. Rides better than my stock 20s did so worth the trade off!

Your truck looks fantastic! This is a tough, solid and practical look without going to extremes. Nicely done!

Added some new scratches and put a few more notches on her belt. Broke 2 ropes.

6 trucks stuck. I really need a winch

Thank you! I was worried all the chrome would make the black wheels look out of place but think it worked out.

It's not that hard. You don't need a new bumper, but if you have any other questions please hesitate to ask...

That looks like a HD, but I presume it could be done on a 1500, too, provided a front plate isn't needed.

Looks sharp. Did you bend the tabs up from where the front air damn was bolted? I have a Reg Cab short bed with fox 2.0 2'' lift and I can see the tabs but didn't notice them in your pictures. Did you install that front lower skid plate? I struggled with mine, still haven't been able to get all the clips installed.

Thank you! I didnt bend the tabs actually, I thought about it but only really visible from certain angles. As for the skid plate, do you mean the the front lower chrome one in middle, below tow hooks? It was already on the truck, came stock with it. I can imagine it is not easy to remove or install one. Probably easier to pull bumper and do it and put the bumper back.

 

I want to do a 2016 front end conversion at some point so I can put the real skid plate on that goes from the bumper back to the cross member.

The first day I removed the air damn a buddy at work and he pointed out two tabs are visible from the side almost imminently. I did mean the smaller chrome piece by the tow hooks. It's not terrible, one 7mm bolt on the top was tough, but I just can't get the tabs on the top to clip in. I'm going to try this week when I get my Morimoto fog lights with the bumper removed.

    • 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
