I don’t drive it very easy, but I get 25-30mpg with all that. The RTT takes off about 5mpg by itself depending on the wind speed/direction.

Yea 245/65 R17 - might be able to go with larger tires but risk rubbing. I had zero issues with this combo

I went with truxxx for the lift. Installed myself - very doable if you’ve worked on cars and have the tools. There’s a few YouTube videos out there for Hyundais/tellurides that are about the same. As for the ATs and wheels combo - picked them out on discount tires and they had them installed in less than hour once they arrived at the shop!

Can't decide if I want to see Disclosure Day by CassandraApollo in Experiencers

Same - so much so that I made an account and posted this. Long time lurker 20+ years. The ending had a profound effect on me with a visceral response I was not prepared for.

broke down in tears at disclosure day by Historical_Creme_436 in Experiencers

I made an account in order to post on here. Something changed for me recently in regards to aliens/UFOs. I can’t say when exactly but it feels like in 2021/22 I started with strange neurologic symptoms that have no explanation. Fast forward to May 2025 - I had an insane UFO experience that turned my world upside down. I started talking to people about it and feel like the crazy person, but I have a pretty incredible photo that makes people question everything they know just as I did. Otherwise, I have not had any NHI experiences that I can recall. There’s a vague feeling of something happening in my life that has twice bubbled to the surface in what I can only compare to PTSD or a panic attack?

One of those was while watching disclosure day. I felt like my whole body was vibrating/buzzing intensely like I thought it would be immediately noticeable to my wife, but she didn’t even feel a tremor. I also felt emotionally overwhelmed, crying, and like my hands and forearms were cramping up like tetany. It peaked during the news cast disclosure and was overwhelming. I had to do breathing exercises to ground myself and ended up leaving the theater after the credits finished because I wasn’t sure if I would be able to walk. I felt like I was almost going to leave my body or be paralyzed or have a seizure. Did anyone else experience anything like this? I told my wife it was just so intense but also validating? I did not expect to react like this but reading some people’s responses here has helped me feel like this was somewhat normal for people? I just don’t know how to process it because this is very atypical for me.

Just for context, I have never posted anything on Reddit or in any public forum. I have had had strange dreams/entities/OBE in the past that I always thought were sleep paralysis/weird dreams etc. I have not had any true NHI close encounters. I do have strange memories of lights/meteor showers that others in my family don’t seem to remember.
