way over kill for 33's but that was my plan. Gears before 35's
cause i tow a car trailer and 35's with 3.55 sounded like a really bad idea
runs about 2100rpms at 60mph

As far as the plasti dip goes when pleded off you would never know it was there
Kind of a pain to peel off. almost like a cheap sticker rips it too small pieces

I had the exact same mentality when I regeared. Figured I would go w the 4.56 now so when I get bigger tires I wouldnt want to do it again. I was already replacing the diff and it seemed appropriate. But I havent driven the truck much to feel how bad it is. Have you recalibrated the speedometer?

recalibrated the speedometer with my SCT tuner
pretty nice towing the car trailer loaded. it almost never downshifts with the cruise set between 55-60

Hi everyone. I havn't been on here in a long while so I thought I'd post up some recent pics. My 3 year old helping me wash it before the car show.



And can't forget to shine the wheels.

Thanks... I think.... lol. Still got a little work left to get on GatorCrew's level. I'm still jealous of his engine bay. I've got 4.88's with an ARB locker and onboard air system getting installed within the next month. Once that is done I can start tackling the engine bay.

Yeah, that was a compliment in one of my off-the-wall ways, LOL

The on-board air system sounds sweet I considered doing that at one point, but in reality I really wouldn't use it often enough to justify it.

RathF150... I'm not much into the blacked out theme, but I gotta admit.... you got a nice lookin' truck
