Agree with 7 slot. Hold on. At least see where your order is end of next week. It looks like the Toledo floodgates are opening on custom orders. The first batch of Granite LEs (21 weeks since ordering...) flew through the plant this week (someone was still D1 on Wednesday and is KZ today, with at least 3 other folks at least JB, ~10 build sheets dropped this morning), and the rest are scheduled to ship by the end of next week.

Yours go KZ? I've been feeling you guys pain, anxious to see everyone smiling.

No, I'm still D1. My est. ship date is next Friday. About 1/3 of the Granite LEs on the forum had ship dates this week, and from those folks reporting in so far look like they are all JB or KZ (almost everyone was still D1 Monday). Hoping I'll see progress on mine over the weekend or Tuesday 9/3, exactly 5 months/153 days since placing my order.

Hope so too. Be nice to find out you went down the line tomorrow!

Great wheels. Simple and classic. Almost went with similar Classic IIIs from Mickey Thompson.

Giving me a ruh roh raggy moment... not sure 5 takeoff wheels and a lift crate are going to fit!

I had 4 take offs and my new spare in the bed.

Yeah, I'm definitely not getting the lift crate in there too unless I figure out some creative stacking.

Definitely agree on floodgates, on my auto order, the order was placed Tuesday at 5pm, by Thursday morning it was already in Framing!

Hehe, I hope they do go down the road together! And same deal, have lift wheels tires sitting at the dealer waiting. Be heading home with a bed full of takeoff parts and a wood crate.

My dealer wanted something like $300 to put the wheels on, and that's after I showed him pictures of them with the tires already mounted. I'm 90% sure they had to be including mount and balance along with speedo calibration, even though I told them not to. Either way, I'll be swapping those out myself when I get the truck home. My Tazer will be here Wednesday so I can recalibrate. What's funny is that they're only charging just over $600 to install the lift, which I think is pretty reasonable.

Yeah, that's about what I'm getting charged too, and they took care of getting the lift wheels and tires for me, which they charged another couple hundred for. Was fine with me to not have to do the legwork and tote things around. My wrenching skills are limited, but I'm going to give some of it a go like bumper, winch, cb, etc., just wasn't comfortable messing with the suspension.

We're definitely on the same path, ordered my Tazer last night!

I found this Sting Grey Manual Rubi in South Carolina... it's perfect minus I want the Tan interior. I think I'm gonna have to order

What Tazer model is best. Regular or mini?

I would say the mini. It does everything that the regular model does, but it installs with just one piece up under the dash without taking up your OBD2 port.

I went with Mini, same features but smaller to leave plugged in.

So 1400 miles on the MT in two days. Drove up to VT and back...the hills were tough and she really doesn’t want to climb. 6th speed is useless below 70 really. I averaged 16 mpg in the hills but am closer to 18 on normal highways at 70 mpg. Definitely going to install a free flow exhaust very soon and look at a River Raider snorkel kit and Edge’s new Pulsar tuner.
