The shop that scratched them owes you new wheels, end of story. No cheap repair will be good enough or last. You spent big money on wheels and there are plenty of shops that appreciate that and can mount tires without scratching your wheels. I did mine locally for that reason exactly. I wanted to deal local just in case something like this came up. Sorry to hear but I wouldn't stop until they replaced the wheels they messed up.

 

Anyway, here's a teaser of my new shoes. Method NV 0 offset with 295/70/17 RT's.

Nice! I'm thinking of ditching my black NVs for Bronze.

The bronze are sick. I chose machined face because I'm leaving all the small chrome accents on my ltz and thought the bronze would clash. Bronze would look amazing on your blue rig! Do it!

Need that money tree to start dropping some, then we'll see.

Well I just got back from the tire shop with new shoes for the truck. Toyo AT2 305/55R20's. They seem to have minimal rub at full lock reverse, but not sure if it's the UCA's or the mud flap, so will have to take a gander to find out. Oh and excuse the dirtiness of the truck, but it's going to rain tomorrow... ;)

How you liking the ridge grapplers? I'm trying to decide between them and the KO2s

I don't have any experience with the KO2s but I have had these Ridge Grappler on for around 1000 miles and so far I am very impressed with them. very quiet for how aggressive the tread is.

I'm torn between the Toyo RT and the Nitto Ridge Grappler as of late. Like, the design of the Toyo really catches my eye, but the siping of the Nitto gives me the impression that it'd probably be a slightly "safer" tire in wet conditions. Trying to shop by price really hasn't helped me much, as there is only a $10-20 difference for a set. I know there aren't many people running the Ridge Grapplers yet but what would y'all's take on my "dilemma"?

I have RT's and just cruise at 80 in the rain no problem and they grip well in the snow and sand. No experience with the ridge grapplers but I'm sure you can't go wrong with either. I'm very happy with Toyo. I don't think I'll ever buy another brand. I even just bought my wife toyos for her car and they kick ass also. Took half ounce to balance too [emoji1303]

33x12.50r18 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. Wheels 18x9 -12 offset. 4.5" lift. Tires ride great and are super quiet. Better tire than the toyo at 2 they replaced. They are very heavy though.

 

You always do it up right. If I had money to burn, that's what my truck would look like (except I like my factory grill).

Thanks, funny you mention the grille, I've been looking at putting the 2016 headlights in, and a factory all terrain grille looks best with those headlamps, like zmnypits truck. Next mod is either the 16 headlamps or denali instrument cluster.

    • I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose      
    • Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)    
    • Ok, I got the all the codes. What do you all think would be a place to start?
    • How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
