Washington (state) to Washington, DC

Its been a while since I posted to this thread, so here's a quick update.

I've driven over 6500 miles and completed my first oil change. This week I'll have 255 80 R17 Falken Wildpeak AT3W's put on, which is about 33 inches overall. Yesterday, I also happened upon a set of Ineos rock sliders on facebook for a song here locally, and managed to get one installed yesterday before the dark, rain and dinner with the fam took me away from the task. The wife confirms they are useless as far as a step go, but I expect they'll be quite functional on trails!

I'll hopefully get the drivers side installed tonight.

I'm also eagerly anticipating the arrival of my Leitner roof rack, which is rumored to be shipped out this week.


Exciting times.

Any update on your cracked windscreen?
And what is your total average fuel economy?

RDS has a windshield with my name on it, but there is a delay due to the software for calibrating the ADAS camera not being ready yet.

Fingers crossed that the windscreen gets fixed soon. Maybe they can find a way to not reconnect the ADAS. I’m sure there would be plenty owners fine with that.

Were you hoping for better mpg or is that pretty much what you expected? That’s about the same as my 306k mile 80-series gets after calculating in the correction for oversized tires (see screenshot). Hoping the Grenadier engine loosens up and the mpg’s increase a bit. I was hoping it would be better than my stock-tire 2003 Land Cruiser that gets 15.3 average.

I assume no lift on the wildpeaks addition.

I've been considering the Falkens as well in that size. Is there a reason you went with the AT3Ws instead of the newer AT4Ws?

Hi Adam, Did you have the KO2's originally and if so, how is the noise level different between the Wildpeak and the Ko2's.
Also, what size tire did you get. Looks Great! DaBull
