It's called "Carolina Squat", "Carolina Squattn'", or "Carolina Struttin'". My favorite term though is "dog dragging ass" [emoji23] [emoji23]

I like the last one best!! Hah [emoji23]

If I ever come down to cali, can I come over to check out your truck!?? Nice stance!

 

Of course man, I always love to check out equally badass trucks! :cheers:

 

 

What lift are you running with that wheel and tire setup? I checked out your build thread but didn't see any recent updates. Looks awesome!

 

Sorry about that man, I've neglected my build thread. But it's a 2.5" RCX level with the stock rear block. The wheels are 20x12 Hostile Havoc with -44 offset and the tires are Toyo AT2's in 305/50r20 XL.

Put a procomp level on the other day. Cooper ATPs, oil change and driver assist handle today. All that's left is tint and a headlight upgrade and I'm done.

Since I got my brand new bumper installed might as well get the rest of the truck looking right! Finally got a chance to give it a pre hunting season wax!

I feel sorry for anyone/anything that hits that front bumper

Funny you say that. The reason I got this bumper from the beginning is because a deer ruined the factory one. So I got this to replace it since I hunt and usually on a lot of back roads during hunting season. Either going to my camp or a buddies camp or an out of town hunt

Just got done slapping some Moto Metal 962's on Toyo A/T's, and a leveling kit! Love them so far!

Would you mind sending a closer "side shot" of the bumper so that I can see just how far it sticks out from the grill. If you have a measurement from bow tie to furthest point that would help as well. I have been looking at these but concerned truck may not fit in garage once installed.

How much trimming did that require?!?

Washed it and waxed it. Needs to be clayed I think I will do that in a month or so before winter hits and put a nice sealant on it.

A decent amount, I had to hammer and cut metal and it's still pretty damn tight. It's tough but if you're determined you can make it work.

    • Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.
    • 10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O. 
    • Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.    
    • apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.
    • yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
