Thanks Texas.

 

Luster- they're made by Black Rhino.

Yeah, I almost bought those for my '13. Great looking wheel.

Nice! I just removed my 26" wheels and went back to the factory 20's. Thinking about plasti dipping them black also. Any advice or tips?

Why did you get rid of the 26"s? They look sick!

I still have them for now. The roads are too rough in my area for such little tires so I took them off. 2 flat tires in 3 weeks. I'm thinking about getting a 2.5" level with 33's. Bagged really has me liking this setup after seeing his. That and a good tune will be my next project.

Anyone hear anything about Toyo's new Open Country RT tires? They are supposed to be a median between the AT2's and MT's. Think I found the tire I want for when I lift my truck

Those do look appealing. I will have to see how much these cost. They are only going to have 8 sizes available at launch and the tire still weighs 70lbs. Another tire I am looking at is the Hancook Dynapro ATM that is only 42lbs and still has a 50k warranty and aggresive thread

Yep, pretty much going to get these when they become available but since they don't come in 295/60/20 right away, I'm going to go ahead and get the 35's. Also, if you like these, you may want to look into the new Nitto Exo-Grappler. Same concept.

I'm about to order my rims they are a fuel maverick they offer a +1 or a +20 just wondering if the +1 would be ok to run?

 

What size tire will you be running on them?

Posted (edited)

Either 275/65/20 or 275/60/20 but I'm eventually wanting to run the icon stage 2 suspension and it requires a 5" back space.

If they are 9" wheels they should be good.

Really surprised the lack of 285's on here. Coming from the 2500 crowd it seems like everybody was running those. Was hoping to see a couple set ups with 285 with 20's and a tad bit of negative offset. I want a little stance but nothing huge.

I'd think you'd be fine with either offset on the 275/60/20. Rubbing more likely with the other size.

Negative offset is going to be hard to run without a 4 to 6 inch lift and most that have that size of lift want something much wider than 285.

    • No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.      
    • Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.
    • I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?   
    • Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
