gas is 2.20 on average around here. and you can get good mileage with 35s i didnt have a programmer or anything and we sold it cuz i couldnt see myself dumping more and more $ into a truck with around 200K on it.

i get about 12-15 in the city and up to 18 on the highway with my 35s, but recently my gas mileage as plummeted, i guess the gas as been reformulated for the winter. didn't know your screw had 200k on it

Good looking truck. Hope you keep the honda. Just so you can pound the miles on it. I am about to put some FX4 wheels on mine. Congratulations again on the truck.

Well im workin on it as fast as possible. Try to get everything set up. Im thinking about powder coating the fabtech white to match the truck. It might look cool. Im not worried about the warranty since ill be buying it used.

I love the FX4 wheels. If i could run them with my future suspension lift id definitely get them and up grade to a tire for 17's. But you cant run them on the fabtech 6".

i want to see a set powder coated black.

Why can't you run the FX4 on the Fabtech? backspacing?Black powder coat would be BAADDD!

why are you mocking me man...

im just messing with you.

anyways. Its something to do with the offset or backspacing.

Fabtech says that the OEM wheels are not usable.

heres a picture of the Fx4 wheels black. The wheels are actually black but the wheels and tires were photoshopped on this truck. let me know if yall can see this pic.

Congrats on the new truck! I'm going through a similar situation with my truck.. might be commuting to school next year, and I need a car better on a gas.. but I can't stand the thought of getting rid of her!

Trimble, according to Fabtech's website, you can run the oem wheels with their lift. they recommend a 9-10'' wide wheel, however...

That looks good man!. I was thinking about doing the something to my OEM FX4 rims I might throw a set of rubber on them and run 'em in the winter time. Wonder how they'll hold up in the snow and road salt.
