BlueBottle's '16 Plat CM Build

thanks I agree.. they fit excellent. I am not a poke type of guy so Id rather have as much wheel in the fenders as possible. If i can find my stock mud guards im going to slap the rear on just for some paint protection.

 

Looks awesome!!!!

 

Thanks for the info. I think that’s the wheel tire size combo I’m going to go with. Very good information here.

Eric

 

Glad you found it useful. Share your setup once you get it!




Here’s a before and after shot in the same parking spot.

 

looks great! wondering if you feel any difference in the wheel/tire combo from previous? I have the FN setup now with Toyo AT2's but have been looking at the SR8's. I wouldn't think another 20-30# per corner would make it feel different but you never know

 

My new wheels are 7 lbs lighter but my new tires are actually lighter. FN setup was 90lbs and the SCs setup is 95lbs. I really can’t feel much difference honestly.

 

Very nice looking truck.

 

K&N Cabin Filter Upgrade

Easy 0 wrench job. Takes no more than 5 minutes. Make sure you keep you cabin filter fresh! Mine wasn’t bad, never been changed in 11,000 miles.

1. Remove shelf by pulling up
2. Push door up and pull out
3. Squeeze tabs on sides and pull cover off
4. Pull Filter out and replace
5. Reverse order for re-assembly
6. Enjoy fresh Air!

 

Curious as what you do for a living? Im in-between careers/jobs. You obviously do well for yourself. do you mind me asking?

 

I'm , I bought the SCS SR8's not knowing they would do the Ray's for the Tundra! Had the Ray 10's on my Tacoma and loved the look!

Nice truck brother!

 

Thanks! You can always get a second set of wheels

 

Settle down now!! I get @BlueBottle ‘s hand me down jobs, not you......

Mike, don’t fall for his nonsense! I’m the mooch that needs the job

 

Do you have the Triton part number handy? My GTR Lights would not fit the 2018 socket. Tried to reach Vleds, no response ... I even started a thread asking if anyone knew what bulb what fit, no responses.

 

very temping, but then no, to hard to explain it to the boss

 

Riote!?

The 3156ck vled triton bulb fits in the 18 housing but the correct bulb for that housing is 7440. If you want any other led bulb get the 7440. If you want a triton bulb you can go with either 3156ck or 7440. The reason why they fit is because you can use the smaller screws and it fits through the opening. Triton bulbs are semi universal bulbs. The only difference is the socket adapter.

 

Black and white looks on point! I wanted to try black but opted for matte gm.

 

Thank you BluBottle! Spend more $$!

 

This is one of the first things I replace on all of our vehicles. As a prank when I "freshen" up my wife's car sometimes I'll put a few sprays of CG's stripper sent on it so her car smells like desperation and sweat for a few days lol

 

It’s only money!

 

come on.. throw a kid a bone..

 

Do something you actually like doing, work your ass off to become the best at it (or as good as you can get) and be practical with your money. Trust me, it'll come. Consistent hard work is the key.

 

Dude! those look B.A.D.A.S.S.!!!

 

Well said. Or like @dcsleeper408 says, have soft hands and be good at what you do.

Yas! You joining the Ray10 hype?

 

MAN, I would LOVE to.....but i'm planning on getting a new truck in 3 years (gives me time to get a house, get my wife a new car and save up for the major mods I want to do with mine all at once wheels, tires, suspension, etc)
Just doesn't make sense to fork over 1000+ just on wheels to put on a truck i'm gonna be selling soon. Will be getting some used wheels from someone on this site since I can't stand my steelies. Should get everything done by April/May!

Will say i'm going bronze!!

 

Nice. Waiting for gen4 I’m assuming. Priorities first! My BFd’s is a great price too bad your not nearby.

 

Definitely looking forward to a gen 4! Hopefully it'll prove to be worth it, man.

Even if that wasn't the case, it's time to get my wife a car and us a house! After 9 years of living in apartments.....time to settle down, lay some roots and invest in something we can own rather than flushing rent money down the toilet.

I'd take your BFD's in a new york minute, but already have a gentleman's agreement on this deal.

 

i'll tag you on my build page when it gets done!

Ok.....i'm done jacking @BlueBottle thread!

back on track......how about them ray 10's!!
