Here are the closest side profile pictures I have from when these wheels were on the truck. Not great, but they give some idea of how flush the wheels and tires were.
New vendors are always welcome. People seem to complain about the "Raptor tax", so I'd start by (i) making products that aren't readily available or (ii) making them at a lower price.
I've received some questions about separating the wheels from the tires. I guess 37s are the new 35s?
I'd really like to move them as a set so I'm not storing four 35" monsters in my basement, but I would separate them with two conditions: (i) if someone made a good offer on the wheels and (ii)...
Four Vorsteiner Venom Rex 601 20"x9" flow-forged wheels in 6x135 bolt pattern with 35x12.5R20LT BFG All-Terrain T/A KO2 tires. These don't have TPMS sensors, just valve stems.The wheels are in excellent shape, with one scratch inside a wheel and a damaged center cap (see pic). The tires have a...
Following as well. I really like how the truck rides stock, and would not want to lift it at all. However, if I can get better ride quality over sharp bumps/road imperfections at stock height I'm all about it.
Seems like regularly swapping the reservoir fluid is an easy preventative thing to do. Good to know the rack went that long though and was just leaking. My concern was that hard parts were damaged over time. Rebuilders will swap seals but rarely hard parts (gears) in my experience. Rebuilt...
Something to consider is that there is limited demand and therefore limited volume they can sell. Basic econ covers demand vs supply, but it also covers inelastic demand. If they invest the time to make a repeatable product made with CNC machines, plasma tables, etc. they're trying to make that...
Can't help with all the Fox settings but, when you get a chance, show off that bed set up. I have a roll cover I like a lot, but that cross mount/U bar look pretty cool. If you know who sells that set up with the bed cover, please share.
Thanks Ill look into it. I would definitely want the nav version. Not that factory nav holds a candle to android/google, but I like when everything works as from the factory.
If it stops when you tap the brakes I'd think that means you either (1) have a software issue and the brake sensor is stopping it (maybe the tune is making the ECM try to engage cruise control??) or (2) there's a vacuum leak in the booster and you're moving the diaphragm. Usually a booster leak...
I always wonder when shops quote prices like that, is it that they just don't want to touch it or do they think that people are going to pay that? I grew up in European car shops so high bills are no stranger, but we always tried to find the most efficient fix (fixing/rebuilding a part or...
Thanks for the indepth write-up. From what I understand, the power steering rack is not an "if" issue but a "when" issue. How may miles did you truck have on it and what symptoms did it have leading to replacement?
Have you had any front or rear camera problems with the Sync 3 upgrade? I'm happy with mine as-is, but am curious about upgrading. Just don't want to swap a working system for a glitchy one.
Not to pile onto the necroposting, but General Grabber ATXs are my go-to for all terrains with excellent road manners. I recently installed some Falken Wildpeaks on my Discovery 2 after Goodyear trail-somethings got me stuck. The Falkens have been great so far, but I have maybe 500 miles and a...
When I was looking for Gen 1s people tried to tell me they felt unsafe towing. Less than a month after I bought mine, I towed a 4700lb race jeep on a 20ft dual axle car trailer like it wasn't even there. Congrats on the buy and using the truck as a truck.
The OP picked up a 5.4. I agree I'd look for a 6.2, but let's be real the 5.4 is not really a slouch. It's adequate power if that's all that one can afford.
I guess whatever happened has already happened. Hopefully you got it out. If the engine restarted and ran fine, I would start with electrical issues like others have said (Fuse 27, etc.). Of course, this advice is a little late.
If you end up back on here, please update.
I have not tried the X3s yet, but will the next opportunity I get. Not to fanboy too hard, but I have been happy with every set of Generals I have owned.
