So Friday night I installed the BuiltRight Dash Mount in the top center tray, and then I installed a RAM Mount phone mount. I got the longer arm, and now the phone sits right over the A/C vent and within easy reach while I'm driving.
The BuiltRight is a solid piece. And I have room to install other things there if I choose.
So I did this install a couple of days ago... I'm not sure I like these. Apparently AVS changed this MODEL NUMBER up a bit, and now this is solid matte black plastic. They're completely opaque, but it really doesn't interfere with visibility at all.
For those that are curious, this is AVS part number 774044, and guys who had bought these before had a gloss finished smoke tinted transparent visor.
Three different BEFORE and AFTERs: side view, then front 3/4, and then rear 3/4
Almost had this truck a year now, and I haven't done much else. But I did finally spring for the Husky Weatherbeater floor liners. These aren't the X-act contour ones, but man do they fit great.
I've been trying 3-4 times now to release that latch on my seat back. I barely get to it, then can't pull the release. I need a skinny teenager that understands and speaks English.
Ha! I understand that latch is WAY stingier on the Scab models, It's a piece of cake on the Screws so the BuiltRight install ends up taking all of 10 minutes.
I don't know what this pandemic will bring, but the last few months we've been focusing all of our money in home improvements so we could list the house this spring and move into a bigger place. Once that budget stabilizes, I'm going to move to finally level the truck and put some AT tires on. I'm obsessed lately and I keep researching wheels and tires. But I have no idea what delays are in store for us with this Beer Flu.
I am looking at all terrain tires everyday these days just itching to get off these teeny tiny Hankook DynaPro HT car tires, for lack of a better work. But I'm totally planning on keeping these wheels. I just wish they had a better offset than +44! That offset is the only thing that has me looking at wheels.... every other day.
Once we get through renovating this house and we move into the next one and free some money up, I'm changing these tires. But leveling kit will be first since I want to go to 33's.
Wow. A full year of pandemic, and I finally made an update to the truck.
Finally, All-terrain tires.
BF Goodrich KO2 in 275/70R18's on OEM Sport wheels, which I think are 18x7.5" +44 offset. Suspension is totally stock. No level and no spacers
The tires are still pretty well tucked (was hoping for more flush), but man does this truck look WAY more BAD*****. Huge improvement over the stock 265/60R18 highway tires. I'm stoked how the truck looks now.
Full side view. much better profile
Really fills the wheel well now.
From this angle it looks flush, but it's still quite tucked
