I have a tradesman 18” set in MI that you could contact me about. There is also a bighorn 18” aluminum wheel out there too.

Remember tradesman, big horn and rebel come with 18”. Rebel even uses the same size you listed, and I have run that size also on a stock truck, albeit an ORP, but tons of room. Not sure where you think it might rub. As has been said, some rims may hit the caliper. Most reputable truck rim...

Oh boy, Im at probably 100miles. I can’t believe they are all dead.

Do I need a tool to get another set of takeoff tpms to read?

Yeah, I know, but I saw that nice single 3” tailpipe without resonator. ;) There isn’t a 2500 short box to use that. The only thing I found today was the turndown in front of the axle. I’d pick a muffler that sounds good and like the smooth single sound. Oh well, you are probably right, cheaper...

Didn’t have good luck searching for a comprehensive exhaust thread, but if anyone remembers, I’d appreciate the link. I remember someone made a single 3” for the tradesman, and now I can’t seem to find one…

Does a manual say to remove the knuckle? I’ve done it with the axle nut off and a harbor freight flex socket from behind last time. Not easy, but no chance of damaging the ball joint boots I guess. 6 one way, half a dozen another; saved the money!(y)

If you are getting the big horn, it won’t be 22’s. You will have the choice of 18 or 20. There are almost no c range tires in an 18. The c range 20’s will ride better, ORP or not.

Just piggybacking on this thread, but how do you check the coolant level? Can’t see thru the black rad shroud?

Went down to the ground to see what the 2’ dia oil spill in my driveway was from under the truck. I’ll have to underbody wash for the skid plate, but it looks like the oil cooler line in front of the filter. Warranty was done about Sept 28 or so, nice.

You can stretch the OEM insulation cover over the larger battery in a pinch if you want to drive it sooner.

Not yet. Will need to before winter.

How tall are you guys running seat jackers? Or inseam? I guess I haven’t thought of those before for this vehicle. My tradesman has no adjustments on it, but the wife’s Lexus has all the adjustments. Never thought I needed it, but we do make long trips, so who knows, I might try them.

Just to define these terms - power sliding means only power on, drifting can be power, speed, or brake induced. Carry on.;)

Not necessary if you are using tapered lug nuts.
