Just got her in the sand for the first time. It's doing awesome! Haven't found a trail or rut she hasn't destroyed yet. Tech question... What are oil and water temps people are seeing when off-roading vs normal temps? Thanks!170f8d43e907401a59c808f05090d905.jpg11a5002eb43ae0d77f68b5c19f25c62f.jpg

Looks good! What are the specifics on the leveling kit, wheels and tires?

The only harsh terrain we tackle is the line at the school pick up line :)
but seriously, I am curious too, as we'll take our suburban in some trails this summer, and it's going to get above 110...

It's got a good stance to it. I was almost certain the wheels were 20" but I wasn't sure of the size.

I've been set on keeping the OEM wheels when I get mine, and just going up a couple of sizes on the tires, but yours gets me thinking of different options.

I did see one or two guys here who leveled and went with 275/60-20 on the factory wheels and that has a great look also. That tire is virtually the same height as yours but not as wide.

Nice. I almost pushed to 305/55/20 for a bit more look and stance but I couldn't bring myself to hammer and cut her. I have no rub even when off-road and full steer lock. Perfect setup for my needs.

My temps have stayed "normal" for most offroading in low range and low rpms(<3K rpms). However, there is a 20 - 40 degree grass/gravel trail that is .6 miles long. I'm in low range 2nd gear between 4 - 5K rpms with a fair amount of wheel spin on the steeper sections - momentum is your friend. My avatar is of the truck at the top. By the time I reach the top the temp gauge is just below the red, and the cooling fan is spinning full blast - not sure of the exact temp.

Very nice! My OCD kicked in and got a bit distracted with your shadow in the top photo, but still a very nice shot. :happy160:
