lol guys

I will probably lower mine when I replace all the front end components. That and some replica or gem 22s of some sort

Copycat.

 

[RooTBeeRthe1st]

Fitted some factory style replacement LCA's

Out with the old(24”s), in with the new(22”s)

I like the 24’s, I’ve been wishing I would have bought those instead of 22’s. Mine are the same wheel as your 24’s. Why did you go to 22’s?

They rub a lot up front and it started to get annoying. I didn’t wanted to do the 2x4/baseball trick. I also wanted some more meat on the tire since I’m going to start driving more to California.

I think 24's are the ideal size for this body style. I wish I could run them. But I live in SC, the pothole capitol of the US (or maybe second behind Michigan). Everyone I know who've run 24's has had to have at least one wheel repaired. Maybe I should move.

Come check out Kansas, we will give you a run for your money on that pothole competition...

I've been to Oklahoma quite a few times over the years. Enough to start thinking they must build in the potholes to the paving.

In 2018, coming home from a long road trip, we cut across the OK panhandle. The highway had just been repaved. So recently, the stripes hadn't been painted yet. Yep, potholes everywhere.

Theory proven.

I'm pretty sure if I could fully lay on it, I would just end up napping under the hood.

As i get older, that sounds nice.
few years ago i would have a few beers and get some yard or garage work done.

Now I have a few beers, think about getting work done.
Then just take a nap.

I was running 26’s and it was my daily. I hit a big pothole at night in the pouring rain and bent one. The state of Oregon paid for the wheel since it was a state highway. It was a Dub and cost them about $500. That’s when I went to 22’s for everything except summer but I ended up running them all year. Those 26’s did rub a bit even after trimming and bending things but I kinda wish I’d compromised at 24’s. I think they would take a decent pothole, and we are right up there in that department.

I ran over a huge rock on the way home and bent one of my 24s. I feel your pain. My cousin had 28s on his back in 09-10. Them tires where paper thin

One of the many reasons I quit drinking. Nothing was getting done, it was always “ one more beer, then I’m gonna do that”. And then ”ok, just one more beer” and on and on. Pretty soon I was too drunk to do anything except grab another beer. Sigh. I don’t miss it at all. Now I just drink coffee and get sh*t done. I feel way better.

Swapped out spark plugs after work today. The part# of what came out was different than what was given to me at AutoZone, so fingers crossed. All the old plugs were waaaay over .040" gap.

The back plugs on each side were a little bit of a PITA, but I reached through the wheel-wells to make things easier.

Also installed a CAI the other day, but have been busy with work/life I didn't share any pics. Easily added 150hp.....

It sounds cool, that's for sure.

Also bought an in./lb. torque wrench and checked the ten intake manifold bolts. Over half were loose on the first pass torque spec., and all were loose on the second pass torque spec, so thanks for the tip to check them for looseness. I "think" it sealed up to the point where there's less noise under load/heavy throttle. (air sucking in and bypassing the intake manifold gasket)

No ****. Or doing stuff while drinking then having to redo the work later because drunk me was not as good as he thought.

Is it an optical illusion or is your front tire pitched (negative camber) at the top?
And do you have either spacers or wider tires on the back?

No spacers, same tires all around 285/45/22 and i don’t know about the camber. I know there is a camber kit on there cause it’s lowered.

I had to go back and look at this. It definitely looks like strong negative camber in the second pic. Could be the body shapes messing with our eyes, though. @Kee Fuller, if you've been driving like that for a while, then the 24s you took off would have bad inner shoulder wear. If they were fine, then it's just an illusion. She's a sexy beast, for sure, though.

I see that too but only in the second pic, not the one with the 24“ reps.

No inner wear. Sold them to a kid out here last week. Tires look great. Here’s another couple of pics of it
