I think those ought to be fine, I agree with stioc that if what's on there is new anyway, it's not worth switching to a smaller diameter rim only to air down a little more. The 16s will perform better when aired down, yes, but I think the exact difference wouldn't be too noticeable, as you can...

Ah shucks, yeah I've been trying to find a set that's lighter and still is strong enough.

Really nice Pathy Matto! I agree with the above, I would say it also depends on the tire too. Believe it or not my Toyos were actually ~5lbs lighter than the garbage Hankook *** the previous owner had, and now my Coopers are even lighter than the Toyos despite still being 1.5" taller than stock...

The people who run 35s and claim no difference must be flat landers. Even with the 245s and a full load I notice a difference. It seems like going up to altitude really kills the power too. When I was in NM and northern AZ where the 40 sits at 4,000ft up to 7,000 for long stretches, it...

Glad to see you on this forum as well, that pathy should serve you well. Is the front end considerably higher than the rear on the '04? Maybe it's the camera angle.

Neat! I've been really looking into those lately, does it say anywhere about it being waterproof?

That, and the excellent customer service are what won me over. I believe they have a lifetime warranty also. Not sure if it's something you'd be interested in, but they did just come out with quite a few DOT lights safe for street use.

Looks great! How'd the mounting work on the stock rack?

Do you think it would be necessary to run a separate wire from the mount to a point on the body to make sure of a ground? I'll double check the continuity (it's supposed to have continuity right?) between the mount and the body, I'm starting to think the supplied screws aren't up to the task. I...

Lots of neat rigs in this thread, love to see the older iron. I've got a '31 Model A pickup in the garage, though I don't think it'll be seeing much trail time anymore. :elkgrin: MKitchen, your truck is beautiful. I have a real soft spot for that generation, and it looks like you did a very...

Interesting, how many LEDs did the people have installed before they noticed an SWR issue? Any link between HIDs? For those who have offered some help, thank you, and I'm glad another member seems to have figured out their issue through this thread. I have now removed the spring, and the quick...

I suggest using photobucket to host your photos, it solved a lot of the image issues I had. Just copy the [IMG] line over, and delete the URL, works every time. Solid updates by the way, for me, finishing the center cap really made it look more complete. I'm sure you feel the same way. :elkgrin:

Looking great, glad you had a good trip.

Everybody's picking up the AT-3s it seems like, they're a great tire, I'm sure you'll enjoy them. :) Stuff like that skidplate battle has been my MO the past few weeks, but once it's done it gives you good piece of mind. Plus a chance to try out all the new swearing techniques you pick up on the...

Not to turn this into a tire pressure thread, but I believe TexasCrane is right, low tire pressures on high profile tires are what led to the whole Explorer rollover debacle, among poor construction and other things. Certainly overinflation (60 psi in the liberty for instance) can lead to scary...

Good to get to know the capabilities of your rig, as mentioned. That strike was in my general area of SoCal, so every time I went to the beach, there was a line of cargo ships. Most of them come from China, so that should let you know where the MMs are coming from. Warns on the other hand are as...

The piece in the middle is a quick disconnect as mentioned. If I'm going to hard mount it (after drilling holes in the body I'm set on that) then I need a disconnect to get into the parking garage at my work. Are there some brands which are recommended above others? This one is the K-1 made by...

Here's my setup, it's a 4' antenna, so by far the majority of it is above the roofline and extends beyond the fenders. I've also noticed that it moves quite a bit at highways speeds despite having the HD spring. I've checked with firestik and I even got the hookup order correct on the firewire...

Nice X. I know you mentioned an "expedition" truck was what you were after, but is there any particular style you have in mind?

Sorry it's been a long week, yes I meant meter haha. So I hooked it up yesterday to the unit in the most open area I could find, and I was getting a reading of about 2.7. I adjusted the tip on the antenna a couple times, sanded the paint under the mount away to make sure it was grounding, and...
