How are you calculating your mileage? If your speedometer is off because of the larger tires, then your odometer will be too. Gotta factor that in... If your tires have a larger diameter than stock.
Watching for solutions too. Cleaning it off is a pain when driving in a blizzard. And depending on the conditions, it doesn't last very long. There must be a way, but really I just want an easy way to silence everything. Going through an automatic car wash is another time I wish for a silence...
OK, but I warned you. :)
I haven't had a chance to terminate the cable inside yet. Which means I also haven't tested this stubby antenna yet. And I don't have a longer whip yet. Once I have this setup finished and use it a bit, I'll be able to say more about the performance. Probably in the...
Welcome! And nice rig. Tell me about that black hood, please. Looks great. Did that come from the factory or was it something you added? Maybe a wrap? (y)
Jan 2026 Updates: NMO antenna mount, more skids, Dobinsons upper and lower trailing arms.
NMO antenna mount: Larsen Mobile Antenna Mounts NMOKHFUD
The labor for this was expensive because of the time needed to drop the headliner ($688 to run the wire and install the mount). I just wasn't brave...
I love 'em. Not really sure how to describe the feel... We're in different trims too, so may not be the best comparison. For me, they get the job done. Big upgrade from the stock 33's. See my build thread if you want more details on the fit, but again... different trim level.
Congrats...and great choice! Super capable truck. I'm a bit like you in that I'm new to "real" offroading. I found a local club and have started going on rides with them. Great way to learn. Good people. Also took their day long 4x4 101 course, which was really well done. I'm signed up for...
Yes, I've ordered from them three times now and I can recommend them based on these three experiences. Might be placing a fourth order soon too. I've saved money by DMing them (Josh) via this forum and asking for their best price on whatever I'm looking for. If I find it for the same or better...
I've got 35's and a heavy bumper and winch. I felt like the front end wandered after adding the weight. I swapped just the coils on my front and that took care of it, but I lost a very small amount of height and rubbing increased. A tiny amount of trimming and removing the bracket covering the...
I got the cover and bars from Realtruck.com. They had a deal to get the crossbars free. I'm glad I have them. They add strength and function.
I don't take the cover off and don't expect I'll need to. Probably easy to get off, but more work to get it back on and aligned and tight.
The hard roll...
I had a Retrax Pro XR and Yakima HD on my 3rd gen, but didn't want to lose space in my bed to a retractable cover on my Trailhunter. And the Yakima HD bars didn't fit on the X4TS hard rollup I ended up with, so I went with the Elevate rack. Works great for my River Quiver and I occasionally put...
I'm running 285/75/18, so not quite what you're looking for. I did have to make some changes to get rid of the rubbing (which was worse when aired down, so check that too). See my build thread (sig) for details and pics if helpful.
Re: the spare, there just isn't enough room for this...
Congrats on the new TH. Sounds like you got a great deal! Tons of info on this site as questions arise or you're just looking for inspiration. Welcome to the club!
Yes, there is enough length. A little tight, but I've been running it like this for a while with no problem. Even on some difficult rock crawling flexing out with the sway bar disconnected it hasn't been a problem. Nice easy fix. I have no idea why the heck it is designed this way. Doesn't seem...
