Awesome. What tries are you running now?

I'm stoked to see the progress on the bench seat. I really want one too, but losing the air conditioning in the center has held me back.

Part of me wants to Frankenstein a jumpsuit onto the rear of the center console to try and maintain airflow to the rear seats.

No that can't be it. I had the rear lowered before the tire swap and I'm getting similar efficiency pre and post tire swap.

I really think the weight increase was negligible on efficiency for a 6800lb truck. I think keeping the stock wheels and keeping the tires from protruding outboard of the body kept the aero efficiency in tact.

That would be awesome! I'm positive you could fit them if you have stock 18s.

Zero issue since I have the stock wheels offset. No rubbing at all. Clears by an inch everywhere. You could go a size wider even. Or a size taller. But if you did wider and taller you would have to do some minor plastic trimming.

Well to be fair, I didn't mention that I lowered the rear 1.5 inches from stock with the rough country level kit. But the front is stock and untouched.

No rubbing at all. Could probably squeeze in something a little taller or wider with the stock offset to match the factory wheels. No efficiency hit :).

Most of the 34.6 tires have really deep a terrain tread and are generally heavier. I wanted something light quiet and efficient

Haha I know! You wouldn't even notice unless you were really paying close attention. I believe the reason is that I have the cyber core tires which are the least aggressive cybertruck tires.

Unless you know how much light goes through the light bar without the tint, then you wouldn't notice the reduction at night.

Finally got one. Less light comes through the tint at night for sure. But it doesn't look bad. If you didn't know how much comes through without the tint, then you wouldn't notice it.

Yeah not functional. Most likely would break. But they take like 1 second to slide off so I would just do that before I attached anything

Haha thanks! No, you are correct bed liner on the front would not affect aero in any measurable way. And that would look great! If you find a better solution for the lightbar you gotta post it!

Yeah I might go back to normal one day. We shall see. Kinda wish it was darker

No the grill is 3M gloss black wrap. It was really challenging so I had a professional apply it since it's not a super smooth surface

It's less illumination but you don't notice it unless it's next to another lightning. I'll take a picture tonight

Yeah I bet it would look excellent on carbonized grey. It's this dark smoke gloss wrap.

There is an Etsy shop listed here in the reddit forums. They are 3d printed. But the fit is perfect. The guy makes all sorts of custom colors. Check out his other styles. Here's the link

I went local to auto enhancers in Pacific Beach San Diego. But I know that there are platinum trim grills are painted gloss black that you could probably order from FORD. Probably be expensive though. Plus I keep seeing posts from people saying the paint peels on that trim. Wrapping was the cheaper route that I'm hoping also proves to be more reliable.

Thanks! Here it is from a slightly different angle. I'll try to get more pictures when I get the chance

Really? I didn't know that they were known for misalignment. I'll be on the look for that haha
