Got the new tires on and higher lift kit pics finally.

[ONEBADMK8]

The old beater is pushing 240k but needed new rubber. You may remember the thread I posted about lift kits and what not a while back. I Settled on the General Grabbers and they are amazing. The lift came out sweet 2.5/3.5. Better MPG with these over the Nitto's, great ride, good in the rain.

nice meats and stance.
thanks for sharing.

 

[ONEBADMK8]

Thank you Sir. If anyone needs rims & tires, hit me up. I have a wheel & tire co.

How loud is the noise of those tires? With tread blocks like that the hum must be loud as heck on the highway. And what's the fuel mileage now as compared to before?

 

[ONEBADMK8]

Super quiet. I came from same size Nitto Terra's they we're like a siren at hwy speeds, these are just amazing. I get 9.5 at 75mph.

 

[Adieu]

9.5 mpg highway???? DAMN....either you need some serious engine maintenance or at least a full tuneup, AND/OR them tires actually suck and what you wanted was BFGs....

 

[ONEBADMK8]

My bad I look at my MPH it is average because I barely do hwy. I did go to Philly the other day to see my Dad in Hospital so I got to 75 hit Cruise and let it run. I ended up with 15ish

This is badass. I would love to put something like this on mine, although with slightly different wheels, most likely.

 

[ONEBADMK8]

Thank you. I have the 4Play wheels in stock in ALL variants they are SWEET. I have them in the classifieds now. I am getting them for my Gen 3 whenever I get that lol.

I just noticed your truck was my truck when I first got it, exactly,lol.

OH NICE! I've never seen mine with black wheels... and the black headlights... that's pretty badass too. Where'd you find the blacked out grille? What kind of lighting do you use?

I tried a full LED conversion on mine and I get hyperflash, even with the RockAuto "LED-friendly" flasher. If I add LEDs to the turn signal lamps, the flasher just buzzes and I get no flash at all. So I went back to Sylvania SuperBrights for the headlights. Still getting hyperflash so I'm gonna go back to Sylvanias on the fogs as well, to see if that gets rid of it.

Im only LED on fogs. I painted the grill with paint I did the whole truck in. Blacked out Limited lights I got from Certifit for $65 a pair. Added the FX4 decals I made myself here in my shop.

Fogs wont cause hyperflash unless you wired em in as turn signal repeaters

Taillight brake/blinker is your culprit. Or your replacement flasher relay is shot and causing hyperflash regardless.


Actually scratch that your flasher relay is DEFINITELY burned out or installed incorrectly

Interesting. I’ll have to take it apart this weekend and have a look. It did work for a while after I put the LED friendly flasher in, so maybe it went bad at some point after.

Tires and wheel look great

Yep, you were right. I installed a new LED flasher from RockAuto and the signals all work perfectly now. Still trashed the LED headlights, though. One actually burned out and I was just fed up with them. Incidentally, the old LED flasher was made in Taiwan... the new one was made in the USA and has been working fine for a week or so.
