Carbon8's Avalanche Raptor

I think that's a tricky question. I don't know the specs of the gen 2 beadlock or what the aftermarket will offer, so they could yet fit. Additionally the idea of being beadlock capable and being able to run them either way is novel as most people that have run beadlocks for years know they can be irritating, most aftermarket options are either beadlock or non beadlock exclusively. For me personally, I always want to run aftermarket because I rarely like the factory styling and the options are greater.

Good info again, bud! Thanks! Honestly, I don't think I'd use the beadlock feature, stock or aftermarket. At this point for the here and now, I just kinda prefer the factory beadlock capable over the standard wheels (since the standard wheels are bright aluminum/black two-tone). Shame too... In my opinion, the design of the standard wheels looks better. Sure wish they'd been black or gunmetal like the pics we've seen.

I have a set of Fuel Savage wheels (20s) that I'll probably switch to. Purely for aesthetics, mind you. Maybe I'll keep an "off-road only" setup on hand to switch to when I need it?

One thing to consider... The beadlock capable wheels package is about $1200. $1200 would go a long way towards tires to put on my Fuel wheels AND I'd have 2 full sets of tires/wheels. Definitely something to consider.

Thanks for letting me talk this thing through! Lol

If it's just plastic instead maybe we could just custom make our own in machined material? Based on what I've seen it is only the shifter, mini glove box, above the real glove box and doors. I think I could come up with a replacement mini door, appliqué for above glove box, and something for the doors. Would probably look cooler too and provide all sorts of colour options

You Canuckistanians and your colOUr.

The standard trim is aluminum. Not aluminum looking. Actual aluminum. Looks nice, too.

So is it machined aluminum instead of the cf? What's the no option option look like?

In defence of my behaviour I generally try to dialogue in a flavour of Webster English

Is it painted aluminum? Trying to visualize....

LOL! A good sport Canuckistanian too, eh? Must be from Alberta.

Yes. From the pics I've seen, it appears to be a satin black colour.

Ontario but lived in Texas for 4 years so took my fair share of teasing. I figured it was time to come home when my daughter said "y'all fixin to come to dinner, eh?"

Thanks, satin black in all those spots is better than matching dash plastic
