Hi All, first want to thank everyone on here. Such a huge amount of knowledge. I have my 2017 premium going into the shop next week for a full set up. I’ll post a build later but am down to just a couple choices. I tend to be very OCD and often come up to analysis paralysis. I like doing it once right (buy once cry once) as it seems most are the same way. In summary I’m getting CBI covert front bumper, CBI under body. SSO skids, BMC Dobinsons long travel MRA, with front UCA, did drop, Panhard rear upper lowers etc.
Question. Same one as everyone else, but haven’t found this size for GX’s discussed here. I’m down to 3 tires. Mechanic is recommending 285/70/17, days he knows they can fit. I was wanting 285/75/17, little taller and a little narrower which is great but was told about the Kenda Klever RT and am really wanting the 35/10.5:17’s. I’m ok with heat gun stuff, fender liner trimming pinch welds etc. at this moment my only full stop is trimming the rear bumper (will eventually move to a ronin bash bar, but not until high mount exhaust is ready for 460’s). I’ve done my research, due diligence and read through everyone’s builds. Do you think 34.8”x11.1” tires will work and not bind? Wheels are alpha equips echo’s 17x8.5 +10.
Second question is about on board air. I was pretty set on a non on board compressor for utilities sake, but seeing the RAGO wifey system has me re-thinking. Any thoughts on on-board /this system vs portable other then it’s more useful to have I portable?
Last is the Diff breather. Install now or just wait until the e-lockers, and 4.88 gears next year. Thanks again and I will put together a build summary shortly
