Def post a video of the exhaust. are you doing cat back - sido?

 

Damn, that jeep thread is crazy! In just spent an hour looking thru it and didn't even make a dent... Crazy! Your got more dedication than me... Every time i do something to mine i mean to take pictures to do a sort or build thread, but always get too excited and forget ton take picture.... Keep up the great work!

 

catback, the full exhaust redo with long tubes is down the road.

its the magnaflow offroad pro-series. it dumps just before the rear axle

 

Since nobody has asked yet, how do you like te tires? How are they wearing? How do they ride? Your truck looks amazing man. Im definitely going to be using yours as inspiration while modding mine.

 

sub'd

 

I love them. They're decently quiet, no obvious signs of wear yet (1000miles) and they work really well in the rain. They do have a nice jitter of lug slap around 5mph though

They ride great. I honestly can't tell a difference in ride except better performance in the corners and over high speed bumps and potholes. The sidewalls don't flex nearly as much

 

Thanks.. After a few thousand more miles, let us know how the wear is on them.. I really like the look of them. I may be considering them soon.

 

So Marshal, did you ever figure anything for the TPMS? Did you reset the tpms after you aired them up to the pressure you want to run at? If I assume your ideal pressure with the 35's is 47psi, and you air them up to that pressure, then go through the tpms calibration in the owners manual, would that solve the problems you mention? Or what were the prompts the truck was giving you anyway?

 

Where did you get 47lbs? My ideal pressure for these tires would be around 28lbs

The TPMS sensors themselves are calibrated to 33lbs to go off, you can't change what pressure try do that at as it's not in the computer. The recalibration is for location base only. Say you have a super duty and you're running 80lbs in the front and 55lbs in the rear. When you do a rotation itd be off

Right now I'm just running 35lbs so I don't have to screw with it, because there is no way to turn the TPMS system off

 

The 47 was a number I pulled out of my ****...... Had to use something, and it seemed like a great non round number. I'm assuming you know more than me about tires, but 28 sounds incredibly low for a set of 35x12.5's From the threads I've been reading, I thought if you increased tire size and got into a LT, you needed higher pressures, and I swear I've read that most guys are running above 40, and alot over 45 with 35's? My memory ain't great, and I'm too lazy to dig.

28 you say? wow! sounds more like an off road rock climbing pressure than a street pressure. But, what do I know?

 

the whole concept is to keep the tread completely flat with no positive or negative cupping. since this truck only weighs in at 5000lbs, an E-ply tire is COMPLETELY unnecessary. the number of additional plys, steel belting and sidewall thickness along with extremely hard rubber = the need for low pressure. if anyone tells you otherwise - they're an idiot and i challenge them to do a chalk test.

on my jeep i was running Goodyear MT/R Kevlars in 37x12.50x17 and they were a D-ply. my jeep weighed in at 4900lbs curb and i ran 22lbs of pressure in my tires to keep them flat on the road. when we were offroad we regularly ran 10PSI with non-beadlock rims for traction. when i upgraded to my Walker Evan's Beadlocks i regularly was hanging around 2-3PSI. note how the front driver tire is around 17" wide

this photo was of me running 5PSI in Lower Rock Garden at Black Mountain



and if anything, LT signififies hard rubber content:

 

so marshal how do you like your ready lift blocks? i like how durable they look but is there really a need for intergrated bump stop? your truck is coming together awesome... wishing i started my own mod thread

 

i like the blocks. theyre sturdy. there isnt a need for the integrated bump stop unless you're running larger than stock tires. obviously as the diameter of the tire increases the need to stop the axle from moving up at a certain point does too.

thanks for the complement. and its never too late to start one!

 

Well Im a sucker for red and black togeather but your truck is flawless. I love all the mods and the fact that you did it yourself is even better. Give us somemore updates man! lol

 

Well just read all 20 pgs this thread really sucks you in. Marshal great build you have a good jump on your todo list, and if your like me that list probably won't end lol. The method wheels where my first choice but I couldn't commit, the blacked out stockers look great and IMO couldn't have come out better mated with those tires. I think I read some where in here u were thinking about a prerunner bar? If u are look at the n-fab I love the way it looks. Again great build
