    High Pitched Whine When Accelerating

    I heard the same thing a couple weeks ago. It got me all paranoid. Drove it home, tried checking it at idle and revving in Park, but could not reproduce the sound, so i shut off the engine and went inside. Never came back. Dealership didn't mention anything in a recent maintenance check, so...

    We all love our trucks, but what made you buy it in the first place?

    Was tired of going low in sports cars, thought i would try going up in a truck. Also, i found that with my wife's Q5, we couldn't make a costco and an ikea run in the same trip. Then i realized a short bed doesn't pack much when you have a tonneau cover. haha

    The fun never ends....

    I’m running wildpeak 285/70r17, icon rebounds 17x8, 4.5 backspacing iirc. The first image is the before and after UCA install. the 2nd was a 2nd alignment after doing a road test and noticing that there was still a slight pull to the side.

    The fun never ends....

    I couldn't keep my truck stock... i decided to buy the OME 887 kit. Once installed, my 265s and stock TRD sport wheels were immediately looking a little small. So I bought some 17s and moved the 265s to those. It looked much better, so i took it in for an alignment and they couldn't dial it...

    Help me choose some damn tires

    +1 for falkens. So far, not one complaint. They look great, and they're not crazy loud. Got mine at america's tire on a price match. Found a local tire shop that was offering 285/70r17 @ $164.95 ea (regular price $195). Brought that to america's tire and they matched it. Done deal!

    More power

    How did the regearing change the performance? Does it increase throttle response or mpg? I'm scraping by on 15mpg now that i upgraded to 285s, and the performance suffered dramatically from 265.

    Leveling kit required for 887 and 33s?

    For the OME 887 kit, is it also necessary to get a leveling kit to clear 33” tires? I’m wearing out my stock sport tires and will be leveling up to 33s soon. I know i’ll be needing an alignment as well, so wanna make sure i get everything bolted on before going in for another alignment. Thanks!

    2-3 inch lift and tire size

    Here’s my OME 887 lift (2”?) on 265/70r17. Waiting on tires to bald before going 285. They do look a little bald from a distance.
