Hey Gents,

 

First post here; I've been lurking since February of 2015. Great info across the board, but this is my favorite thread. Not many regular cabs, so here you go...

 

20x9 -12 Rockstar II's on 305/50R20 Nitto Terra Grappler G2's.

 

Will be getting a BDS 2" level up front and 1" block in the rear next Wednesday.

 

Thanks for having me :)

Badges already have been blacked along with bowties

 

Snow plow? The lower chrome strip? Ya I don't want to plastidip it ... I wish I could get rid of that chrome piece and replace it with a black one somehow.

 

But these things are so minimal that it doesn't bother me much.

 

That's the reason I went with this new Z71 was the massive "Lack" of chrome ... I DoNot like chrome on my truck so this was a good start. But after blacking out the badges and center bowties I'm more then happy with how it's turned out.

 

I've addded a 1" Readylift blocks in the back to level the truck out. Ore along with addi a set of Amp Research Powerstrps. Next will be a full LTZ center console swap then a stereo system. Then when we get a new trailer a set of rear airbags.

 

I am SO happy with how this truck has turned out!

 

Thanks everyone for all the nice replies.

 

And as far as the red ... I love red ... And ya this picture turned out a tinge reder then it really is with a iPhone enhancement thing. It's still damn red, the color is called "Red Hot" so it's suppose to be really red but it is a touch different in person then the pic.

 

This is virtually identical to what I'll have in 7 more weeks. Any more pics since the blackouts? LOVE it!

So love these wheels just don't know if they'll work on my truck. They look better than my expectation was for the photoshop. Thoughts?

 

Big shoutout to VTBulldog for the great work on the photoshop.

Without reading through all 150 pages, does anybody know what is the biggest tire I can run on a 2.5 level with a -12 offset? I'm going to get some new tires this week and really leaning toward the Toyo AT2 or RT. I know I could run 33x12.5 RT, but not sure about 305/55 AT2. If 305 is too wide I'll go with 295/55. Any help on this would be appreciated!

I had the slightest rub in reverse @ full lock coming out of my driveway with 285/65r18 at II on 18x9 -12 fuels with just a 2.5" front, your 20x10 -12 are going to stick out an additional 1/2" compared to my 18x9's. One guy on here said he has a slight rub in reverse with 305 55 20 ATII and 4.75" lift he was running 20x10 -24 offset. The RT's are 32.8"x12.5" while the 305 55 20 is 33.25"x12.4" and the 295 55 20 is 32.8"x12.2" maybe take a clearance measurement at full lock and compare those numbers with your existing tire measurements. What size tires are on your truck right now?

Stock 20's are +27 I believe. There is truck similar to what you're looking for I believe its a 7" RC with 35x12.50 firestone mt on factory wheels with 1.5" wheels spacers the truck is maroon. I think he posted a while back in this thread.

Thanks for that. If the 305's don't work, I would like to think the 295 should without any rubbing. I called my shop today and put an order in for the 305. Good thing is once they get them mounted I can drive it around the shop and make sure I don't have any rubbing issues. If so I'll switch to 295. I currently have stock 275/55 goodyears.

I have 305's on 20x9 0 offset and I rub with the level, not bad, and some plastic trimming would fix it. Yo will prob rub pretty good, but hope it works out for ya!

Post #42 and post #162 of this thread can shed some light on the subject.

Hnnnnnng. Do you have any pics of your setup? I appreciate that. I'd rather go to a smaller tire than have to hack up the front end.

Thank you sir. I'll look into those.

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      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.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      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.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      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.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      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.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By davester · Posted

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
