The reason you do not see anyone talking about the Toyo Open Country C/T's is because they are not available in the American market. My understanding is that the C/T is a tire that can offroad but made to perform to highest standards in snow. Or at least that's the idea behind it. I honestly couldn't say which tire would be better between the KO2 and C/T, that my friend will be a tough choice.

 

Not much of a tough choice. 450$ Canadian per tire vs 275$ Canadian. K02's win!

Wow that's a hell of a price difference.

Yeah no kidding. I'd love to try the C/T but there's no way.

Added 1.5 zone body lift to RC 2.5 level so my 305 55 20 would not rub with 0 offset. No rub at all at full lock. Love the ride also.

Plan on showing my new setup soon enough. I have brand new 15 Silverado high country. Presently getting a level lift now with blocks in the rear. Was gonna take a peek at what stocks looked like with that setup but pretty sure I'll be changing wheels and tires soon enough. My question is this, I'm sitting at 1500 miles on the truck, and the dealer is offering me 1500 to buy my tires and wheels if it's before the 2000 mile mark. Is that a fair assessment for a trade in value on new wheels or what do most of you do? Keep stocks around, sell them.... Try to get more for them off Craigslist etc?

Stayed with the SLT 20" rims and put some 35/12.5R20 Destination MT's on it. Zero rubbing but does hum a bit and at slow speeds kinda similar to wearing cleats, but I am freaking happy.

Need to know more about your setup! -24 is an aggressive stance with just level. How close are those tires throughout the turning radius?

This morning I installed a Suspension Maxx 1.5" level with the adapter for the Magnetic Ride Control and the 22" wheels I had and some new tires. I went with Nitto Terra Grappler G2 in a 305/45R22. I am surprised, but no cutting and no rubbing. I think it looks good.

I personally think that is a fair price, and it's easy which has a cost too.

That being said, I ALWAYS keep my original stuff around. Seems like every vehicle I sell has at least 2 sets of wheels and tires that go with it.

I'm with Big Matt on this one. I sold mine for 1300 because it was cash upfront and quick. Plus the stock Continentals sucked. If you're like me then your time is valuable. Too much time wasted dealing with flakes and shady contacts on craigslist to be worth it imo.

I would get a 1/4" wheel spacer. A friend had same issue and it fixed the problem.

That looks nice. I have the same wheels on my '15 SLT.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I’ve own several successful businesses. I’ve bought homes and lived in different states. I’d witness several generations buy homes and survive in different economic circumstances. You get awful sippy when people have different experiences than you do. You live a life. I’ve lived a life. It seems our experience has been different. You can point out generalized statistics. Some people learn how to thrive when the odds are against them. Living in different states does make a difference in a persons quality of life and economic outcomes and opportunities. That’s a fact Jack. It’s my truth, my life. Hard work and long hours the right environment made my families life easier. And yes moving to a different state increased the odds of that happening. Stats are generalized. People who thrive don’t make excuses. They beat the odds. Others get mad and point to those statistics. I guess that’s you. My post pointed out how you helped people beat the odds. Somehow your panties got in a wad. Go figure.

      Good question, I don't remember for sure but I believe it was the HD. I will check and get back to you.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Point of the post sir was that while both wages and cost are rising EVERYWHERE; the cost is rising faster EVERYWHERE than the ability to buy EVERYWHERE. We're not going down the location rabbit hole. I'm aware of what economic migration is. I've lived in four states including Texas.   It's what "Purchasing Power" means.   I'm not telling you what I think. I'm telling what the government, your government, data shows.   It wasn't an argument. It wasn't a suggestion. It was a statement of FACT. You are absolutely entitled to your own opinion. Your not entitled to your own facts. If you and I were, they wouldn't be facts.    fact /făkt/   noun Knowledge or information based on real occurrences. "an account based on fact; a blur of fact and fancy." Something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed. "Genetic engineering is now a fact. That Chaucer was a real person is an undisputed fact." A real occurrence; an event. "had to prove the facts of the case." The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition • More at Wordnik   If you'd like to disagree call your Senator or Representative and let him know his departments are in error. But you and I? We are not doing this.

      Transmission jumping out of gear while driving.

      By JimCost2014 · Posted

      Probably a one and done post, but do you have a CEL on the dash? Was having issues with my transmission, fortunately only a week, and it turned out to be the transmission harness. Valve body was in good shape, so new harness with all the sensors attached, new fluid, and filter. Seems to have worked so far?

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By Atlas · Posted

      Two interesting tidbits of information which are NOT related were just released.   One, regarding the possible thrust bearing issues / engine failures with the 3.0. Demonworks just did a segment in which they believe they may have found "a" or "the" cause of thrust bearing failures: A missing thrust bearing. If the engine doesn't have all its thrust bearings from the factory, the missing bearing can cause extra play which ends up destroying a nearby thrust bearing which then sends metal through the engine.       Of other importance, Lake Speed Jr released some interest information regarding oil weight selection for the 3.0. Comparisons of:   AcDelco 0w20 Dexos D Mobil 1 ESP x2 0w20 Dexos D Mobil 1 ESP x2 0w30 Mobil 1 ESP x4 0w40. Mobil Delvac 5w40   Spoiler alert: The Mobils are PAO Ester -base and the ACDelco is a Group III base. Mobil shows lower wear in their tests for similar weights. Additive packages between 20-30-40 weight ESP's appear to be the same, but only 0w20 is Dexos D licensed. Wear is even more reduced with 30 and 40 weight ESP although all perform very well and resist shear and provide very similar viscosities within temperature operating ranges in the 3.0.   There are even more surprises, so just go watch it.
