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.

    • Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.

    • Looking for this part for my truck. They don't sell just that one piece and to get it you have to pay over $100 even used for the whole air tube. The piece the hose clamp snaps into that is held on by the screw and nut. If anyone has access to one please let me know.
