What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend?

If you dont mind me asking which spec 17" did you go with? I'm planning the move to big boy tires and want to make sure they'll stuff. BTW, got a little cabin NW of those mtns

You know, I am not entirely sure to be honest. I bought them second hand and forget what they are. I am running 1inch wheel spacers and it is pretty perfect in terms of how they tuck in. Let me look at the wheels when I am by the truck tonight and see if I can figure out what they are.

And thats awesome, love it up there. Beautiful country

Only 2 options....either 0 or +25 offset.

To stuff it into the wheel wells, you want the 0 offset. Our stock wheels are 0 offset. Negative offset poke the tires out past the fenders if you want that stance.

I thought 0 offset with big tires hit the frame rail.

Im running OEM wheels with 315s on 3" lift w/out rubbing. With 2"extended Slee bump spacers
2nd rig on -25 (Nomads) with 4" on 37s borderline rub on inner fender with Perry Parts extended bumpstop.

Good to know. I have -25et w/315s and they rub the inner fender. Maybe 0et is only a problem with 37s, or am I just plain wrong about this?

A few of us running 0 offset with 37s but w/out body fenders and doesnt rub the inner frame rails.
Maybe depends or tire mfg. The Yoko AT-x doesnt rub the rails.

Yes, originally there was no hissing sound and the wind was cold, then I stopped getting cold wind at the same time the hissing sound appeared, after replacing the valve, the hissing sound is gone and cold wind has returned. (Constant hissing noise i mean).

Check your high pressure sight glass when the compressor is running and make sure it looks full of liquid and has minimal bubbles, if so feel the two pipes coming out of the bulkhead from the evaporator, one should be warm, one should be cold, if they are kind of the same, sounds like your valve has s*** its pants too.

Thanks, bro, for the advice! One of the pipes coming out of the evaporator is getting covered in frost.
