Test for for my OE 22” wheels. Numbers all said it’d work, but had to be sure. 
 

35x12.5 Ridge Grapplers are ordered and will be mounted next week.

 

ordered a 4” BDS lift, will install myself when it arrives and get these bad boys put on.

First paint correction and seal on the AT4 now that winter is over. This blue looks even better after a clay/polish/seal.

One of the most under estimated cars out there! Hope to have one in the future. Too bad you're not on the west coast, I've heard Iroz motorports makes some above average builds on the MQB platform ?

Ha ha, yep, Hank's shop is most definitely producing the pinnacle builds for these cars. I am doing a decent job of leaving the motor alone and doing incremental stuff as I get bored. Just put some billet motor/trans mounts and a set of BC Forged wheels on it, so it's driving and looking a little prettier than last week. ?

Looks good. Where did you get the vinyl?

Put some new shoes on. Just went with OEM specs, wanted to maintain comfy factory ride for a lil while lol. 275/60/20 BFG KO2s. Down the line I’ll level and run larger size but I am very pleased with how it looks so far. Will have some more pics later. Next up I’m gonna get AMP Research power running boards and roll and lock tonneau.

Looks good! I’ve always loved those tires. We had the same thoughts, so I ended up going factory spec ridge grapplers. I was torn between ko2 and ridge grappler, but went with Nitto because I’ve always ran ko2, and wanted to try something different. But I’ll probaby go back to ko2 next time because I think I like them better overall, especially the really square looking profile. I also ended up adding a simple 1” level to remove some of the rake.

Thanks man! Yeah I love the way the factory setup rides and I’m going for the clean simple look for now. I don’t want to worry about trimming or rubbing on a brand new truck lol. I will probably get a level down the line but honestly it sits fairly level stock

Just bought it 3 weeks ago.  So glad I went with the 6.2!!!  Wow is all I can say.    Flow master series 10 installed, windows tinted, Chevy bed mat, and painted the calipers red.   S&B intake is on order.  Another week or so and that will be in.  Next is a tonneau cover and pedal commander.   What other mods should I do???

great looking truck, love the 6.2 as well.   midnight edition always look great - add some nice interior under seat lighting, easy, not expensive.

Baja designs squadron fog light replacements installed. Also got a strip wash, clay bar, light Sonax Perfect finish polish, 2 layers Jescar power lock sealant and Colinite 845 treatment today for the summer.

      Vehicle Payments

      By KARNUT · Posted

      This is interesting. My quote tagged here is different from my original quote. After I’m driving them longer. That isn’t me. I don’t talk that way. I definitely wouldn’t express myself that way. Interesting.

      What have you done to your K2 today?

      By UrbanRage · Posted

      I have the same running boards on my truck and I do agree they are bulky. I also find myself stepping over them when getting in and out of the truck. Besides providing protection to the rocker panels, they aren't very useful.  I will be replacing them soon with the Amp Powersteps.

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.
