I think my OEM ones are +45.....with the AEV ones at +27 with a tire that is 10mm wider, sounds like my tire will be about an inch further out (45 - 27 = 18, 10 / 2 = 5.....18 + 5 = 23). I'll have to eyeball the tire to see if that's going to work without flares.

Those are awesome looking rims too, I honestly didn't realize Method had plain rims.....both great options - thanks.

Thanks - good looking setup. How much more offset are those Saltas vs stock?

Trying to find a nice clean reasonably priced option for my 2021 Ram 2500. Planning on running a sim size tire to stock 33.5 to 34 and a sim width 285 vs 275, so need it to be a sim spec to stock. I really like the look of the AEV Salta and maybe it's just me, but the exposed bolts for the...

I know what your saying and don't totally disagree with the main point, but it's most certainly is not going to be "more capable stock than anything else available" when we have things like Jeep Rubicons, Bronco's and full size trucks with factory lockers, huge payload and more capacity. Have...

Agree on the Tacoma - the frame is nowhere near as stout as Hilux, but I did think they used the same rear axle and diff!? There was a write up a few years back going into to detail on the differences, I was suprised how sim they were to be honest (at the time). I've not jumped into detail on...

In the Hilux platform the 2.7 2TR-FE (as far as I know) had the same if not more payload capacity vs the Diesels, it's a lighter engine which typically adds to verall payload. My dream a few years back was to purchase a std. cab tacoma, 2.7, 5 sp, slight stretch of the frame and drop one of...

I'd be happy with a gas engine too in that platform, the ones they used to put in the Tacomas here stateside were the same ones all the oversease Petrol Hilux's got.

Awesome - 10/10, probably one of the coolest trucks I've seen on this website in the last 5+ years, simple, non-nonsense.....

Stock sytems functioning as new would be great if the quality parts existed, but they unfortunately don't, you are forced into aftermarket or re-man parts.....

I've always been able to put in about what the tank holds on all my previous vehicles - 1/2 to 1 gallon.

So an interesting observation, wondering if anybody has run into this. As far as I know the full size Dodge 2500's w/6.4 Hemi come with a 31 gal tank, I get pretty good mileage in the 16-18 mpg range but I'm on Empty in the red at about 26 gallons! Does dodge have a 5 gallon reserve on these...

Hows that Hemi pull that sucker around? I don't think I've ever seen a 5500 without a Cummins....cool truck, love big trucks with big gas engines...

He wasn't even quoting you originally - just giving an opinion (also). I don't equate a quantitative measurement (temp) to a qualitative one (your observations and assumptions)...I therefore reject your temperature analogy in full :) I was actually pointing to myself too since I was piping up...

It's a bit hypocritcal (I kinda agree with him) but at the same time it's pretty obvious "Expedition" trucks are a trend that has spiraled completely out of hand. There are guys doing cool stuff in 2wd rigs, there are guys with Unimogs that just drive to Starbucks....but in general, what I see...

2022 500 EXCF w/Factory graphics and XACT air forks, desmogged & aftermarket ECU....strett 'legal' (sort of), but East of the Cascades through to Montana nobody cares as long as you have a plate and insurance:

Love it. I still have a dream to get a nice clean patinaed older chevy 2wd, throw a nice FI crate engine in it, get a new transmission from one of the outfits that makes them new, FF rear axle and good to go.

I have a 2021 Dodge 2500 4x4, the &$(#ing thing is WAY too tall, why have trucks gotten so tall? I had a late 90's Ford F150 and I bet it was a good 12" lower....which makes (as you point out) everything easier, loading, unloading, throwing stuff in bed, pushing motorcycle up a 20 degree ramp...

Following a sim strategy to Tom Sheppard, no fridge, stock sized AT tires and he generally slept on the ground or in a cot....
