Post Tire Test

So after taking the truck out today and getting a little mud on the tires, I really would like to swap my brakes out to something more suitable for off-roading and it would be nice to get some decent rotors. Does anyone have any suggestions on some brands?




Took the truck out with the boy to break in the Razr MT’s

I just ordered a front and rear bumper set from “Move Bumpers” today. Should have in about a week or so. Stay tuned for pictures of putting Bumpers together, they come as a kit and you just have to weld them together.

For the price you should check them out! https://www.movebumpers.com/

Most guys in here are running the power stop setup. I didn't have my 12th gen long enough to need rotors. But they were on my list. It's one of those things I would do when it needs it. The difference is marginal at best.

Right on! I was looking at those today actually. I’ll probably go for them, they seem to be a decent price with good reviews. Thanks for the input!

Nice looking truck, but I couldn't help but notice... that terrain and landscape just screams the need for a dirtbike or an ATV.

There isn’t much to do out here where I live other than ride and 4wheel, we traded the big city life for out here and I wouldn’t change a thing.

So I ended up canceling my order with “Move Bumpers” which sounds crazy but I realized I just wanted to bolt on and hold on. So I came upon the site AmericanTrucks.com and they have some pretty competitive pricing on their stuff. I picked up a set of the Barricade Front and Rear Bumper set. I’m pretty stoked about it and it’ll be nice to just bolt them on and not have to worry about building them. Don’t get me wrong “Move Bumpers” is a pretty sweet site for DIY Bumper Kits.

Nice, I'm envious! Nothing like a great place to ride, breath fresh air and just enjoy the outdoors. Enjoy every minute of that, that you can.
