    MT's vs AT's, 17's, 18's vs 20's discussion

    Lets talk about offset for a sec: lets presume we're using a 9 inch wide wheel, 35" tire. What are the main reasons Raptor guys seem to like their wheels tucked in so tight? Clearance for 37" tires so they don't hit the fenders? Less stress on bearings and ball joints? Steering? I heard to run...

    MT's vs AT's, 17's, 18's vs 20's discussion

    Thank you Christian! Went on their site and the 17x8.5 wheel is a feather light 26 lbs! Oddly, I didn't see a 20"? 18" was the largest listed. Yea I think stock beadlocks are about 35-36 with the trim rings and hardware.

    Hey Augster, I was looking at the Ford specs for our 6.2 L engines, and it showed that our engines develop 11 more HP running 91 octane, vs 89. Granted, this CA winter alcohol blend may cut into that benefit, I figured 11 hp for 40 cents more per gallon is the cheapest 11 hp I'll ever find this...

    MT's vs AT's, 17's, 18's vs 20's discussion

    Such important considerations Augster, and you're spot on that heavy unsprung weight is very 'seat-of-the-pants' noticeable! That's why I'll be stickin' with 35" tires. With all your O/L gear, what front/rear spring and suspension setup are you runnin'? I run my Screw unloaded mostly, with...

    GEN 1 Driver Door Not Locking / Unlocking

    Mine's a little different; unlock button on the remote flashes the lights, I hear something from under the dash, but ALL the doors do nothing, and the lock/unlock button in the door nor the keyless number pads do nothing. Fuses look good, but today I'll actually test continuity on good fuses...

    GEN 1 Driver Door Not Locking / Unlocking

    Mine just started doing this last night, except ALL doors do not unlock from the keyfob nor the keyless touch buttons outside, nor the inside door lock/unlock button. I checked fuse 20 from owner's manual info but didn't know about 32, I'll look for that tonight, as I look for the fuse panel in...

    It's not the fiddle; it's the fiddler ;) :cool:! You know what you're doin' and I'll just guess he was having a bad weekend. I've been runnin' 20's on my Duramax for almost 20 years, and you kinda get used to them.

    MT's vs AT's, 17's, 18's vs 20's discussion

    Good word, that makes more sense. So does that mean your backspace is about 4.25-4.5 inches? I'll try to find 9" wide wheels with enough backspace so I can still run RPG UCA's if/when that happens, heard you need less than 6" bs.....?

    MT's vs AT's, 17's, 18's vs 20's discussion

    Agree Augster, I'd rather have the more aggressive MT tread for the times you need it, however, I don't feel like I'm compromising road noise with Toyo MT's - they're quiet as heck! Even when the tread is low, they've got excellent street manners and are very quiet. The key is correct air and...

    MT's vs AT's, 17's, 18's vs 20's discussion

    Thank you for the feedback Adam. I'm right there with ya - MT's every day, all the way! I've gotten stuck a few times too many with AT's in wet mud or off-road snow. The fact that they look so badass is icing on the cake! I'm giving Mickey T MT's a hard look after I wear out these nearly new 20"...

    Looks like you got those F Trail Graps aired down in this pic, and the 35's allow plenty of protective sidewall for slow trail use, is that right? I won't be desert blasting either, just can't bring myself to thrash on my Screw. I can totally see why you'd run 17's, cuz there's way more tire...

    I've got to ask you too Murder, would you ever run a 35"x12.50r20? What benefits and drawbacks have come from running 20's and how long have you run them?

    There's someone running 20's!! Bozz would you ever run a 35"x12.50r20? What benefits and drawbacks have come from running 20's and how long have you run them?

    MT's vs AT's, 17's, 18's vs 20's discussion

    Thanks Space Ghost. I concur that the KO2's are bad in the wet, well, with low tread anyways. My tires now are 35x12.50R17 BFG KO2's, but they're nearly worn out, due for replacement. Wouldn't you know it, they're E rated too, but not hard riding at all....

    Hey Murder, tell us what you like and dislike about the KO2's? Have you compared them to the KM3's? I like a little more open tread design. And yes, oh the eternal search for good D's ;)!!! Good life advice!

    MT's vs AT's, 17's, 18's vs 20's discussion

    This right here is the comment that hits home! What I love about my Screw is it's bouncy, aggressive, and soaks up hits like nuthin'. If 20" E-rated tires take anything away from that, then screw them! I'll stay with 17's and look for good D's! Thanks ToadSmasher!

    MT's vs AT's, 17's, 18's vs 20's discussion

    That's an incredibly cheap tire! Good to know. I'm guessing you got the Patriot R/T Rugged-Terrain tire, looks like an M/T? Did you have any problems? I've bought cheap Cooper passenger tires and I was fixing flats all the time. They looked good and worked ok, but then when I bought good tires I...

    Hey guys, would like to hear your feedback on running MT's vs AT tires, as well as going Plus 1, 2 and 3 on wheel diameter? I know going to 20's is sacrilege for most hardcore desert Raptor runners, but my truck isn't seeing much dirt. Yes I will take it off-road a few times a year. My past few...

    GEN 1 CAI tune required?

    My Gen 1 factory muffler was just too dang quiet, so I put on a MagnaFlow muffler on it, might not have been the 'perfect fit' version, it needed a Y pipe at the backend for the twin tail pipes, but afterwards, it got a fantastic rumble at idle and light throttle and screams beautifully at full...

    GEN 1 Replacing Spark Plugs on Roush 2013

    I did not get to this project, it's number 9 on a long list of 'priorities', if ya know what I mean? I'm glad @BalanBro replied that we only need 8 coil boots and resistors for our 16 plug engines. Rock Auto has several, and note, some come with the resistor and some don't. Some are 'rubber'...
