either they are having factory issues or they are phasing out. Lets try the RT’s

it looks like the only other Falken in 3PKSF is the Rubitrek unless I missed something. That's an important thing to me.

I ordered that exact same size back around 10/17/23. Only had to wait a couple of days.

I can wait a week or so, have to get the new driveshaft on, and the lift, then tires/wheels. That's my plan for now.

I must be lucky because I just got the Falken AT3W in LT275/60/20. Got them in 2 days from Tirerack mounted on a set of rims. Surprised I got them so fast but was good because I am off this week. My 35" BFG KO2 are not the best in wet traction so I got the Falkens for the winter months because I know they do great in the snow.

Well, my dumb idea didn’t work. My 2banger ditch lights are more amber…my parking light is amber, and my diode dynamic SS3 Pro are yellow.

the SS3 max appear to be more amber so I ordered max lenses to see if it would make them closer and although the lenses are darker, I can’t see a difference in the output…oh well, I tried

just gonna keep them as is

Yeah, DD stuff is real selective yellow (actually a thing) and the Max version LED's are over-driven i believe, so they need a slightly different colour lens in order to keep the same correctly matched selective yellow output.

I'm kinda surprised they aren't at least a little darker with the Max lenses.

The lenses on my light bar are definitely amber colored but when turned on they are almost the same color as my selective yellow max fogs. If the output wasn't reduced so much going to selective yellow, I'd swap my ditch lights to that too.
