Any updates @Jwells104 ? I'm about to pull the trigger on this kit myself. I'll be keeping stock rims/tires for now, and upgrade to 35's later, but maybe 37's. I don't plan on aftermarket rims tho, I actually like these stockers.
I was just looking at these today! Added to my cart, but did not pull the trigger yet.
Are they as easy to install as it looks like, no removing any bolts on the shock, it just fits around it?
That is exactly why you should mount 2 on the spare tire, and 6-8 on an overhead rack. Roughly 30 gallons of gas will get you back out safely. lol
There is a really decked out Tundra a couple streets over from me. I mean, it does look incredible, has probably every off road part/gadget you can...
Did you use Forescan or a tuner type thing to adjust for the larger tires? If not, your speedometer and MPG will be off, and MPG could be better than you think (a little).
Damnit, I didn't see the other posts asking this question, lol. ignore this! o_O
Funny, I just went and filed up my WT, and got exactly 16.7 MPG hand calculated. The lie-o-meter said 17.5 (15,500 miles). This was 85% in town driving, but in Texas, half of in town is still a highway, lol.
Having OTA on is like us all being Guinea pigs for Ford, I always turn that crap off. If I need an update, I will manually install it. Same on my phone.
Congrat's! I'd look at better skid plates for protection, the WT is missing the transfer case one, but depending on where you go (Tx does have a lot of rocks), might want to upgrade the factory ones. Also frame mount rock sliders. I went with RCI for skids and sliders, several great companies...
I got a deal on a Curt hitch from a local shop that someone bought, then 9 months later decided they did not want any longer. I just put the hitch on, and have the wiring on a shelf in case I decide I ever want to actually tow something.
Yeah, I like bright colors on a lot of cars. Had a zinc yellow Mustang GT and a "Gotta have it green" Mustang GT.
Could just spend a few grand and get it wrapped! :)
So here is a question that I may have missed an answer too.
Would a tow strap vs a kinetic rope/strap be safer (not using the strap as a kinetic rope, get it tight, then pull the other vehicle out). Less of a sudden force on the anchor points that could break and fly towards either vehicle?
