Default Green Gem / Method NV content

Thought I'd share some pictures of my 16 green gem after finally getting it almost how I want it. Let me say I'm no photographer and these are just cell phone quality! The weather was not right to show off the color, I'll try to get some better quality pics sometime but for now this will have to do.

I might be able to answer a few questions ahead of time as far as the wheels and tires go...

Stock wheels and tires weighed 68 lbs each
Method NV's and DC 33's weigh 95 lbs each

I lost around 2 mpg on average after switching to new wheels and tires.

I run 40 lbs in the fronts and 35 lbs in the rear and after a couple thousand miles they seem to be wearing normal as far as I can tell and the ride quality still feels good to me, although yes stock ride quality was a hair softer on the P tires.

Here is what it looked like stock, with the dealer added grill guard, winch, and RC 2" level (spacers). I still have about 1" of rake even with the leveling kit and I like it that way. Anytime I pull my boat it seems to sit pretty much level.

I have green gem as well on my 2015 supercab. Only seen one other in my city. Such a awesome colour. Black rims look sweet with it.

Nice! I've always loved that color and those wheels. I think they're the only aftermarket wheels I would consider putting on my truck.

Looking solid man, green and black looks great. I'm sure that winch will come in handy.

Thanks! It has a couple times already. Not many guys with winches are going to use them a LOT but when you need it it's nice to have.

Looks great! Have you noticed much power loss with the heavier wheels/tires at all? The reason I ask is that I also have the 3.31's and am considering a setup like this as well.

I don't feel a difference but I did drop a couple MPGs. I wouldn't hesitate to jump on the deal if everything else is right. Don't let 3.31's deter you from a truck!
