Power Wagons ... Post em up!

Happy Memorial Day to all those serving and all those who served. Ooh-Rah!

I got my new wheels and tires installed today. They've been sitting in my shed for two weeks. Can't believe those 37's fit! There is very minor scrubbing on the front driver back side lower wheel well.

I'm Waiting for my Thuren leveling 2" coils/Fox Shocks, Trac bar and rear track bar kit to come in. I'm doing the install myself, so I will look at what might need to be trimmed after this is completed. Thuren is moving apparently, so hopefully, it will be in this week or next.

The Toyo Open Country RT's (my first set of Toyo's) ride unexpectantly better then the Duratrack did. I've always been a BFG guy but figured I'll try something different. I guess only time will tell, right!

Going to the 37's actually lifted front and rear up a little more than an inch and a half. This is from before measurements I did from the ground to under the bottom of the wheel well or stock fender flairs.

My apologies for the explosions of photos. I have no idea what the hell I did!

Love the tire/wheel setup....these trucks make 37s look normal! Tires look to be perfectly flush with the top of the fenders. Did you go 12.5 or 13.5" wide?

They are the 12.5 and thank you

what kinda gas mileage does the truck computer say you're getting on the highway with the 37's?

 

[IRSmart]

Old pic, and my truck doesn’t even look like this anymore lol but it works for today

 

[ALRedneck]

Truck looks good with a dog box on the back! Wish I bought it for quail hunting but the birds are rare down here now. I needed it because two of my pet dogs get car sick even with Rx nausea meds. Didn’t want them vomiting in my cab.

Haven't set up yet with AEV ProCal. Really haven't been anywhere to be able to tell. I do know when my speedometer says 60, I'm actually running 67 according to the Waze App

 

[thkbaron]

Gotcha. Just curious. I might upgrade to 37's when my tires wear out and I'm curious to see what you were getting for mileage. We all know these trucks aren't built for that but if it tanks it another three or 4 I probably won't do it.

I get between 11 and 13 on 37s depending on mix of stop/go vs highway. Sometimes 10 if heading into the wind at 75+ mph.

13 is good gas and high summer tire pressures.

I went to the moose camp during quarantine and had to come back at night because of road blocks.

I had barely enough gas to make it back, and gas stations where closed for the night

I managed 17 mpg driving easy at 62 mph on kanati's 37's inflated at only 25 psi.

Heavy foot costs way more then tires!

Get those 37's

 

[thkbaron]

oh **** you're running an speed though. yeah doesn't really compare to my 6 speed. that's really good. I'd be perfectly happy with that mpg.

I love that picture with you pulling the Jeep out of the snow.

 

[Timster]

Agreed, if I could get 17 mpg with 37's there would be no question what I would be running but I too have a 6 speed and am hoping to just stay in the double digits .

Got my 35’s mounted on the stock wheels on Friday...Really happy with the look and like the performance so far but will post in the Tire thread once I get some miles on them and a better impression.

Same tire I have been running. Not a single complaint yet....

Did you do the spare too? If so did it fit back under there?
