Red October Build

[marshal]

sorry for the delay! tires work great and are awesome! now i can start adventuring a little bit

 

[DuvaFX4]

Looking good man!!! Better looking then the raptor to me, how the Grabbers treatin ya?

 

[marshal]

they're awesome. pretty quiet and awesome street traction, even in the rain. we'll see how they do offroad, but im sure they'll be awesome there too

 

[DuvaFX4]

Thats good to hear im looking for some all terrains for when mickey T MTZ's run low there really smooth for a mud terrain great offroad but they humm a little bit, and i think AT's will give me a little MPG back. Are you in the marine corps i saw the danners you had in one of your photos and was curious.

 

[marshal]

i actually had to go through all of the pictures ive posted just to find the one that has a shot of my boots in it, and i have to say just to be able to tell a brand and style of boot just from the toe wrap is impressive

but no, im not a marine - wanted to be in the air force but i cant fly because of my eyes unfortunately.


look at the Duratracs, those are fantastic ATs

 

[Cody1771]

that trucks looks awsome! love the idea of the lights in the grill

 

[DuvaFX4]

Haha yeah thats one thing the marine corps tought me attention to detail and plus i get those boots for free everytime i deploy so i know what they look like!!! Im gonna check out those duratracks for sure keep us posted on the build! Any gears going in?

 

[marshal]

i want to put a set of 4.56's in, but its going to be a long time before i can get to that. i need to take care of other more pressing issues first before i start dropping big money into my truck again.

 

[DuvaFX4]

Yeah i hear ya im on the fence with 4.10's and 4.56's but i want some gears..

Do you do more city or highway driving? If its more city and off road go 4.56. If you want mileage at highway speeds you'll want 4.10s

 

[helcaraxe]

Not to shift this away from truck talk, but Danners are the best boots I've ever had. I'm on my 5th pair!

what he said, dont fear the gear. i had 4.88's in my Jeep and i wished every day that there was some way i could have crammed 5.38s in it :bike_rider:

I haven't seen them! I have been loyal to the Danner Striker GTX... So light weight and awesome once they're broken in. I've been using them at work for nearly 10 years

I don't really fear it i want 4.56s, but I'm only hesitant on it because i want to keep it a little reasonable on fuel economy on the highway, I average about 16 on the highway and in town its just to crappy to pay attention to so i don't really care about city. If i could keep it around there I'm going with the 4.56s. Trucks are gas hog's i know thats the only type of vehicle i have ever owned but I still want to keep it decent especially with gas being 3.55 around here. That's why a diesel is definitely the motor of choice in my next truck, fuel economy, pure grunt, longevity can't beat it.
