Not only I don't care what people do in their own bedroom, where they put something, or changes they've made to their bodies, I don't want to know. Why do I constantly need to be told about it? Just make cars and let people live their lives.
Anyways it's pandering (if anything, I'm going to...
I bought mine with the hard top thinking it would be necessary for sound / heat insulation, but the premium soft top is pretty darn good, to the point that I *may* keep it on year round.
If I had known that up front I probably would've skipped the hard top altogether and saved some money. Or...
Not disagreeing. But whether the truck is leveled or not (headlights should be adjusted accordingly for sure), load in the back of the truck is going to increase the headlight angle for a given adjustment.
I've never heard anyone with a leveled truck cry about their headlights illuminating the treetops. It is also still possible to put things in your bed with a leveled truck.
That is all. That and the white is a good look.
For what it's worth my stock 32's come out as almost exactly 31" under load at ~38 psi.
Some data collection of this by brand or tire under gladiator load might be handy to make as a thread I think (if not already started)
4.30's would be perfect imo for near stock sized tires (I'm talking manual). It puts 6th just a hair shorter than what 5th is on 3.73's, which is just right in my experience for having a little hill climbing power on the highway and still getting good mpg on low load flat ground cruising.
If I save time or money in potential repair at any point, then that is a practical and objective advantage.
Fewer people know how to drive manuals than autos. Fewer people therefore can steal a manual by means of driving it. An auto or manual can both be stolen by a tow vehicle. An auto...
I am comparing the chance of an electric / electronic failure with electric vs manual windows.
There are 0 electric / electronic components to fail in mechanically operated windows. So 0 chance of an electric / electronic failure mode, so I have eliminated that as a potential failure.
There is...
I respect your personal experience, but until you commit to replace electric window components for me in the event of a failure (which should be an easy commitment if they never fail according to your experience), I will save myself the potential trouble, by reducing the probability of failure...
I respect your experience, but they have actually failed for other people. It's probability, even being a low probability (increasing over time though). KISS theory in this case means reducing that probability by eliminating it.
Not pushing it on anyone else, but just giving one reason why...
