That's good to hear that you got so many miles out of your first set. I have the 265/70/17's in the C load with about 10k miles on them. I am thinking about going up to the 275's. Did you notice much of a hit in mileage when you went from your factory set to the 275's in E Load?

Are any of you guys in Nebraska also members on Overland Bound? I am not active on their forum much, but one of the members there is helping to organize people from Nebraska for meet-ups and possible wheeling.

I am also in Lincoln and would be all for meeting up and doing any trails within a 3 hour or so drive!

I just got back from Moab and I wish I had reached out on this forum first to see what trails would be possible in my stock 5th gen. I did at least order the Guide to Moab book which helped. I stuck to all the green or "easy" trails and still hit my side steps and rear diff a couple times...

Thanks to this forum, I found the 4X Innovations Rola mounts and used them to get my new Rola rack on two days before I left for Moab. The mounts held the rack and about 100 lbs of gear for 6 days. Does anybody have a good, secure way to mount Plano cases? I used two of the sportsman's...

Yes, I am using the factory head unit.

Just to give an update: I installed the Focal IS 690TOY speakers and a 4ch 400 watt amp and the sound quality is quite a bit better. If I were to assign the improvement a percentage, I'd say it is 50% better than before. Honestly though between the amp and the speakers I spent right around...

So I bought the Focal IS 690TOY's yesterday and they will arrive Monday. What amps would you guys recommend? I am thinking I will go with a 4 channel so I can have the new front speakers and my factory rear speakers all powered through the same source. Crutchfield recommended this one...

Has anyone tried these out: https://www.crutchfield.com/p_151OE69CT/PowerBass-OE69C-TY.html?tp=47095 Crutchfiled has them for $140 compared to the Focal IS 690TOY set for $300. Do the Focal's really sound twice as good compared to the PowerBass speakers?

Have the Husky mats sold? If not, I can send a prepaid shipping label and I will buy them.

Are you willing to ship them? I can send a shipping label to use if necessary. I'll buy them if they can be shipped.
