Yeah, *most* of the time I see dimensional 35s coming in at 34.8-34.9, and 315s a little less than 34.5 just going by manufacturer's published specs. If I were replacing and got a good deal on the 35s, then sure, would be a fair reason to upgrade. But I agree - it seems silly to take off metric...
Fixed it for you. I think you'd have a very different distribution if you looked at vehicles ordered, vs. purchased off the lot. Dealers try to buy colors that won't offend anyone, which is why they are all so bland.
I would rock Bright Calypso Green or any variant of British Racing Green. (EDIT: Even Guard Green would be fine!) This was my "forever truck" for 10+ years. In the end, it just got beyond my skill level (I'm a master Shade Tree mechanic) and mostly time constraints to give it the attention it...
Maybe the placement is intentional so it will show if you opt for the 30" tires in the base model, and everyone will know you cheaped out ?.
Get a 35" tire and it's mostly concealed.
EDIT: A few good points others have raised - (1) pre-production vehicle, maybe it changes. (2) good to have it accessible in case you want to fish additional wires for accessories from the interior to the exterior, e.g. rear lighting, and (3) apparently the Wrangler is the same way, so perhaps...
It will be a few years before I build my teardrop - I need to not have a house project and BMW restoration project running concurrently when I do this. But I am stealing this air suspension idea for future use.
Thank you for sharing!
Spare tires are not fashion accessories.
Me, yesterday, after being crowded off the road by an oncoming truck which was straddling the double yellow on a narrow road. I was glad that on day 1 I added a full sized spare to my Nissan:
Me, ~10 years ago just casually driving down a desert road...
I'm fine with "first model year" depending on the vehicle, and assuming the major components (especially engines) have been tried and tested in other vehicles. You'll get the best deals on models that have been out for 6+ years and are ready for a refresh, but sometimes that's less fun. You've...
Fixed to what it should be (edit: or should have been, if generations hadn't been arbitrarily shortened for some reason) ...
Generations have historically been 20 years, give or take. Somewhere along the way demographers got bored and started trying to group people into 15 year cohorts.
I was...
Sasquatch includes the M210, Advanced T-case, and front & rear locker. That's why it's cheaper on Badlands ($2,500 supposedly) and Black diamond ($4,500 supposedly) vs. other trims which don't come by default with lockers ($5,000 supposedly).
We can all hope it's possible to get an M210 and/or...
