Thinking about putting some Fuel Couplers on the truck, but the total cost with a level and 295 tires is around 2,700. I really like the 20 inch look, but am wanting to save some money. Just wondering if anyone has some suggestions on a rim that I can save some money on, or how much you paid for your setup.

 

thanks!

I always liked the look of 20" wheels. I have 2 sets now but I'm seriously thinking of picking up a set of 18's. Better ride and a little more sidewall to protect the wheels. Plus weight savings that helps performance and millage. Just something to think about.

If you like the look of 20's over 17's or 18's, then definitely wait a bit longer until you can get the 20's because wheels are something you want to make sure you get just right.

This was my old old 2014. I would NOT put those tires on another pickup. Get a good name brand. I was running a 2.5 front level. Not sure of the brand, but was cheap off eBay. Custom offsets is a awesome web site for getting ideas and seeing what will fit, price, and ideas!

although i dont have them...i was going to get Black Rhino wheels (i ended up getting a Midnight Edition, so i didnt feel the need for aftermarket wheels)...also, for a 4x4, i strongly recommend sticking with 18"...there are alot of people that dont agree with me, its just a personal preferrence...but the cost and look to me are ideal.

 

as far as tires, i have 285/65 BFG KO2 and have been very happy with them. although i have done a couple mods, the truck in my sig can give you an idea of what that looks like...(i do have a front level kit on)

I agree about the 18" wheels on a truck. The 20's and even some 22's look nice but trucks need some sidewall heigth. I unfortunately have two sets of 20" wheels and tires but I'm looking for a set of 18" wheels with a nice offset. For some reason ( I havn't figured it out yet) my 2015 NHT 6.2 only came with 20" wheels. Made in China stamped on them too.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      That one looks decent for the price   BUT..I want something that also supports OBDI/1.5. A lot of the prosumer-grade scanners don't have legacy support in order to keep costs low. I believe the Autel does if you go higher end with them.   For fun, I reached out to a local Snap-On rep because I was interested in the 2600. $1895 MSRP, says he can do $1595. That's still a lot, but then again, that's not a horrible discount for just asking out of the blue. Could probably do better if I was a regular buying off his truck, but I'm not.   Not sure if I mentioned but I didn't realize with USED scanners from Snap On that you need to make sure a) the serial number isn't flagged as stolen. On the newer ones, SnapOn can remotely disable the device if it's flagged in their system. And, customer service can tell you if it is, if you're thinking about buying used. B) Make sure it's paid off. If the seller still owes money to the truck or if they financed through Snap On, the device can be remotely disabled until the balance is paid. It's less clear if SnapOn will tell you if a balance is still owed; I didn't make it that far with the used model I was considering. I did read that SnapOn has no way of tracking any "truck financing" deals between the SnapOn rep and buyer, only if they financed through corporate. So there's that extra caution needed.   Still waffling on whether I go with a ~$500ish Autel/TopDon or spend bigger money. The value seems to be in the prosumer brands. I'm not giving them enough credit TBH, actual production repair shops use them daily BUT I'm still allergic to certain kinds of underdog products trying to unseat American companies with solid reputations. SnapOn's scanner isn't wholly made in the US, but it is assembled here and they have US support and probably the most proven/ robust legacy support.   Something to think about. Value, or principles? There's a $1k difference.

      Winter Returned

      By Atlas · Posted

      I'm thankful to live where we don't have extreme weather. We might all be blown to smithereens when Mt. Rainier goes, but 80 is warm enough in the summer and I can generally count the number of hard freezes in the winter on one hand. The cars here don't rust and they don't get sun-baked, either.   We have finished off many of our average 52 days of "clear/sunny" weather, though. Sunsets are coming earlier, the nights are a little cooler. It's right around the first week of September when we get our first warning that summer is coming to a close with overcast skies and the start of "hoodie weather" temperatures during the cooler parts of the day. By October, it's usually time to ditch the shorts. By November, it's mostly raining.

      My point was: If what you are doing works, keep doing it:   But, I will have a talk with AI to make sure their info is more accurate going forward.
