Jim's 2021 TRD Sport

Thanks, I appreciate it!

The only way I'm staying with 20's is if I find a powder coated set of limited wheels. I missed a set in April by like an hour. My preference is either the BBS pro wheels or the TRD off-road wheels, pc'd black. I just prefer the look of an 18" wheel on a truck.

Yup, I have 4x4, which is why I plan to service the transfer case

 

Looks like we got the same mindset.

I ended up buying some 18 takeoffs(wheel& tire) from craigslist so that I can use as rollers while I had my 20's painted.

Well once I remounted and installed my painted 20's I ended up taking the 18's to get painted so those are boxed up right now waiting for my current tires to wear down than I'll slap those 18's on with a slightly beefier tire.

 

Had the truck for over 10k miles now. She has been a dream!



Bought some new tires. Been searching for wheels, but my boat trailer took a dump and I decided to spend that extra coin there instead.

Got some Dynapro AT2 in 275/60 - 20 off of marketplace. Screaming deal for $425 for the set on a tire with 18 miles, that is $300 a tire on TireRack. I'll put these on before winter.

 

Pic of the rusted thru frame under the bracket of the old trailer. I looked into getting it welded, but unfortunately found 3 other spots that will ultimately need attention. I tow my boat, with my family in the truck, all over the state. Not willing to risk it.




Found this trailer that has been on marketplace and the guy was wanting to get rid of. He was originally asking $800 when he posted it and had dropped to $600 when I found it. Got it for $425!

 

Did you get the services done on the transfer case and diffs ? Any youtube videos?

 

I haven't taken this on yet, been a busy summer for the family. I plan to do them before MI winter.

I've watched quite a few different YouTube vids on it, it seems pretty simple. I have all the replacement washers and bolts already, now I just need to get the fluids and find the time.

This one is decent. But there are truly many out there

 

Hit a new record on the dash for MPG today on my way back from Grand Rapids



I had just filled up so I decided to actually test the dash MPG vs reality. Things didn't go as well as I'd hoped



Dash was nearly 3mpg more optimistic than reality. I was hopeful it would be at least within 1 mpg, but alas. Won't be monitoring the dash MPG for funsies anymore now that I know it's not even in the ballpark.

Oil change coming up this wknd. Still need to do my difs and TC

 

Got my F150 take offs out on the other day. My speedo is correct for the first time! Not gna lie, it drove me crazy to see the GPS on both my wife and my phones showing us going 2 MPH slower than the truck said. Now, moving from the stock 275/55-20 to 275/60-20, my speedo is correct!

The tires are certainly not the sexiest, but the price couldn't be beat and I'm a cheap ass lol
