Thanks man! Yeah, it's a pretty sweet unit! It's a Jayco brand pop-up with the Baja package. It was made like that from the factory. My parents bought it brand new from a Jayco dealer in Missouri in 2005, and I bought it from them a few years ago. You can still get the Baja package on new Jaycos, but they don't have the front deck any more. There are a few other brands that make similar models. Do some searching for pop-up toy haulers; you might be surprised!

Right on. I just did a tire comparison and yours are only .1 of an inch taller and the exact same width. Your setup is pretty much exactly the same mine would be with a +18. This response was supposed to be to my offset topic. Oops...

So with 285s on stock 17" wheels zero rub?

 

Thinking 275/75-17.

That's correct. Although they were close, I had them on the stock rims for about 5k miles (with the front end at stock height), and they never rubbed once. That being said, I don't do any serious off-roading. Someone else with the same setup (and an over-zealous driving style) may have been able to get them to rub. Also, I don't think anyone makes a 275/75/17.

 

truck looks good, those black wheels makes it stand out.

Thank you!! Silver is a very popular color, so I had to do something to set it apart from all the others, haha.

Thank you!! The 1500's are very nice trucks, and get better gas mileage...but a 2500HD is the best setup for me.

Mahalo. There are some 275 out there but very hard to find. 285 will work.

    • Not sure about DFM tech but i know there's a stop/start deactivation button. 
    • I could be interested if they axed cylinder deactivation and at least have a button for stop start. I’m sure the HP numbers will be higher. I would want a longer warranty to help build confidence. I’m a less is more guy as I get older. A V-8 work truck model would be my choice. I know a few outfitters for custom additions I prefer. 
    • It's official. GMC pulled the covers off the next-gen 2027 Sierra 1500, and we got the first official look. Full breakdown here: https://www.gm-trucks.com/next-gen-2027-gmc-sierra-1500-v8-trim-changes/   The quick hits: SLE and SLT are dead. The new core retail trim is just called "Elevation". Two new V8s, a 5.7L and a 6.6L built with high-performance Corvette architecture roots. No horsepower or torque numbers yet. The 2.7 TurboMax finally ditches the old gearbox and gets the 10-speed automatic. AT4X moves to larger standard 35-inch tires with front and rear e-lockers, Multimatic DSSV dampers, and heavy-duty Jounce Control Dampers. Over 60 inches of combined display on Denali Ultimate and AT4X, complete with a motorized articulating center screen and an adaptive passenger screen. Seven simplified trims across the entire model line to clean up ordering confusion.   So let's get into it: New 5.7L and 6.6L gas V8s with custom active exhaust tuning and a Corvette connection. Is this the exact engine lineup half-ton traditionalists have been begging for? Purging the iconic SLE and SLT names after all these years to lean entirely on Elevation as the high-volume core. Bold move, or a mistake? That motorized articulating 16.3-inch screen that slides up to reveal a hidden dashboard vault. Awesome mechanical theater, or does it make you nervous about long-term durability? Physically lowering the headlamps in the front fascia to improve road courtesy and stop blinding oncoming traffic. Smart real-world engineering, or does it hurt the truck's aggressive stance? What trim are you putting your name down for on day one? Drop your first impressions below.  
    • My overnight hospital stay turned into five.  I developed a post operative fever and an erratic  heart rate.  A blood clot in the lungs was the culprit.  This is apparently a common post surgical complication and easily remedied.   I was the youngest in a four bed ward and a Doctor with a Geriatric specialization was in charge of my care.  All of the nurses were good and some were outstanding at dealing with old people.  It was very evident that my age triggered a different level of care!  My advice to any senior going for a hospital stay is to have a trusted family member advocate visible.  If not, you will still be well cared for, but you may discover that your voice  isn't as strong as it once was!
