  1. R50 center console swap? Grabbing it as soon as i get paid, looks like it'll be nice..

  2. man i hate it when people want to add power the cheapest way possible

  3. To stay 15x10 steel or use the 15x8 alloys i just got..... would i really have that much more power/gas mileage????

      the 15x8's hold a better bead IMO, especially on super low pressures for sand/such. I like my 15x8 with my 33x12.50s alot.

  4. Just realized pathy doesnt have front coil springs...how the heck do you lift the front end then??

      Although this is written just about everywhere on this site, look up a torsion bar IFS. It uses metal bars with splines, and the twist these bars allow gives it the "spring". By cranking/adjusting this system to preset at a higher level, you lift it, but you must replace the upper control arms with aftermarket to maintain proper balljoint alignment.

  8. how could i get some led strips to light up only when the interior lights are on. or doors are opened? could i splice a certain wire and then connect it there? or must i do a whole bunch of wiring?

      if you don't want to run from dome light, you can run it from the dome light fuse area, or the door switch

      run a wire from the dome light to a relay that controls the led lights, and if I were you, I'd add a manual switch so I could turn them on alone.

  11. Umm why cant i find good BFG M/T's that fit my truck?!?!? according to the site only A/T's fit....WTF

      OldSlowReliable

      but honestly, w/o a lift, and buying 31s (the largest you'll want) I don't see a huge advantage to m/t...I run bfg ats and never get stuck...with 3+3=33s

  13. so those screws, in the inner step thingy next to seats on the floor holding the carpet down, are completely false and useless or are my threads striped because i tried using a screw driver and it did nothing.

      I push an awl under them and turn them, they will back out a little ways, just enough to get the trim off..

  16. would a plug in voltmeter (cigarette socket type) work okay just to monitor the volts since my stock gauge on my dash reads higher then its supposed to???

    1. OldSlowReliable

      OldSlowReliable

      I suppose its just as good, cause it traces back to the battery just the same...but why? for under $20 you can buy an actual gauge, and spend 10 minutes wiring it directly to the battery!

      I actually about bought the winchester super x for 299.99, but I'd never get a pistol grip or use slugs....sure I'd keep a case of em in my ammo locker, but only for 2012

  22. anyone running a clutch fan and mechanical fan?

    1. OldSlowReliable

      OldSlowReliable

      aside from engine bay access, efficiency (fan doesn't fit in shroud from body lift) which will help pull air through my transmission coolers infront of the radiator..
