Yeah, I really lucked out. $500 for the steering wheel and the running boards. that's also in CDN $$$. Roughly $350 US

That's a killer deal. I'd love to get a Raptor steering wheel.

You Canucks are back to $0.70 again? Wow. Maybe it's time to head north one more time for vacation! (got the 150 yr anniv. Parques Canada free pass too! ) A 30% discount, I just might be able to afford to go back again (except most retailers mark everything up for us 'Muricans, eh?)

Yup, it really sucks for us that are trying to buy parts out of the states. $1600 bill from Full-Race just cost me $2300. All well, you win some, you lose some.

Come on up the coast, I can let you know of a few places to visit!

I went from p metric to LT. The same tire in p metric is about 10lbs lighter.

Some stuff is still cheaper. I priced out a set of 305/55r20's up here. Goodyear duras or cooper zeons. $500/tire. Discount has cooper atp's in that size for $292/tire. Even with exchange, I'm still saving $2-300 crossing into America to buy them.

I also priced out bilstiens, a place up here charged me $400 for the front two. Seriously wtf?!? Stage3 has all four corners for $349usd. Works out to $450. Plus $70 to ship to me or $10 in tolls and some duty/taxes.


My last MC had 4 tix to Metallica in a couple months and a leather watch band. Tix were $110usd, works out to $160. Watch was $130usd or $170 Canadian. $570usd. Add on another $180ish to the bill for exchange.

Thanks. Had me worried. Thought my research was off. When I do mine I will be going from P Metric to P metric, and figured weight would pretty much be a wash depending tires/ wheels. A few of the tire wheel combinations actually came up lighter in 285/70/17.

Haha, honestly, i didn't really know what i was selecting when i bought these tires. My friend has a F150 and told me to get these. I probably should've gone with P metric as the truck will be a daily driver and also track car hauler.

Guess i should take it off roading just to take advantage of the tires now lol.

I would have weighed the stock chrome clad wheels, but we never took the tires off.

In case anyone is curious.

285/70/17 Ridge Grapplers in Load Range C on '14 Raptor wheels = 83.5lbs
My stock 18's and stock Wranger SR-A's were 68lbs

I
Probably better off with the LTs if your pulling a car and trailer. I towed almost 10000 lbs with my 01, and was thankful for the Kelly TSR in LT.
