Builds 08 GX Slow Build

[scparrish]

Mud flaps won't be around much longer. I also added some spidertrax wheel spacers.

The two most seriously considered at this moment are the bfg and toyos. Bfgs are a good bit cheaper.

I recently got the 34s and LOVE them. So nice and smooth but still good traction.

 

[scparrish]

34s on their way.

New shoes

I don't know what happened to the front bumper. My wife just says I don't know when I ask about it.

 

[scparrish]

Dan these new ko2s are super quiet. I think they are more quiet than the original ko.

I think I can fix the little bit of rub I get, up front behind the bumper, with a heat gun. I am going to try and avoid any cutting.

 

[GXO]

Yep..that front plastic has a lot of room to move. You can also put small holes in and zip tie it waaaay back vs heat

 

[scparrish]

I will try that first. I may raise the front a little more to level it out a bit.

Your rig must seem tall with those three inch coils.

Looks great! Are you using wheel spacers?

 

[scparrish]

I am using the spidertrax 1.25" spacers. Plenty of clearance for the upper control arm.

34s are sweet. Curious what your gas mileage is with the lift and tires after some time with them.

 

[scparrish]

It's my wife's ride so I likely won't know until we take ii on a road trip.

I am really happy with the tires. I really believe they are more quiet than the previous generation. The actual specs on the tire are 33.5"x10.5" so a little taller and skinnier than the 285s.

 

[GXO]

Mine is tall...I love it

 

[madtoy]

Those look great. Can you measure the actual height of the tire? Curious to see how close to size they are when loaded. BFG's always seemed to measure smaller than most others.

 

[GXO]

They are a touch smaller. I am basically a touch taller than the 285s but 10.5 so rubbing is eliminated

 

[scparrish]

I will try and measure tomorrow. They are definitely taller than the bfg 285s

 

[tenzhu shoten]

interesting post !

 

[GXO]

I think they look gooood.

 

[scparrish]

I have two lights on the dash that I can't get to go out, the tire pressure light and maintenance required. I have reset all of the maintenance information several times, can't get it to go away. The tire pressure light I assume is a bad tpms sensor.

Does anyone know how to get the maintenance light to go away?

 

[GXO]

Yeah. Hold in the trip reset button and move key to "on" and keep holding unlit it flashes and goes out
