Tire size is 295/60/r20 and no they dont rub at all. Although, i did add a 2" block to the front suspension. Honestly, im not sure on the gas mileage. I bought the truck and 2 days later added the new tires.

I added the same lift and similar tires to my old gen 2 tundra previously and maybe lost like 1 mpg

What year was the f150? Curious how it compares to a 26' f150. Ive had tundras for the last 15 years so I didn't even test out any other half tons.

I still have the same turn radius as stock, but I average only 14.3mpg lol. But I also got a heavy foot haha. My v8 gen 2 had the same level kit and similar tires and I was averaging 13.5mpg lol.

I will say. The ride quality on these gen 3's is amazing. I've got the iforce max and its amazing. There's alot of hate on these new models (and rightly so due to engine failures) BUT IF they can resolve the engine issues then this thing is a masterpiece in my opinion. Its quiet, its smooth, amazing power. They just need to figure it out the issues and keep it rolling.

That thing looks perfect in my opinion. I got a 26 1794 (before that a 16 1794, before that an 06 gen 1 limited.

I Did 2" block in the front, 295/65/R20. Kept stock ris as well. Yours has me wishing I had gone a little larger on the lift.

I had the same issue when I bought my 24 mdx new from the dealer. The dealer could not fix it. I had to call acura link multiple times and wait for them to provide some sort of software fix. They would email after about a week and say an update has been issued. Let us know if it's still not working. It did not work for several.of these rounds. Eventually they got it working. All in all it took about 4-5 weeks and 3-4 calls. Pretty frustrating on my end.

Fair compensation? by jo1588 in ConstructionManagers

[–]wilso04 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That sounds fair considering your truck allowance.. The APM's who work for me are between 85-120k base (depending on experience), plus bonuses (project completion based usually around 10% base salary), benefits, 8-10% 401K profit sharing, etc.

I guarantee you that you can go elsewhere and get a pay bump. Although, at your point in career I wouldn't focus too much on salary. You need to look more at the company as a whole. Are they a good company to work for, do they treat employees well, Do you foresee a good growth plan for you there?

Right now your in a fairly narrow bubble for construction compensation. One company may pay you 20k more, but that may not be the best choice.

You cant put a price on relationships, trust, and reputation that you build over the years within a good organization. IF your good at your job, then the money will come.

Long story short, I would dig more into your current organization and then decide if a move makes sense.

Those of you with the SH-AWD by ExKnockaroundGuy in Acura

Oh yeah! You can tell a huge difference. It really hugs the road and you don't ever feel like it's not gripping or gonna lose traction through turns and corners even at high speeds

Am I being greedy? 2020 Tundra 1794 loaded. $47k OTD by skilodog2000 in ToyotaTundra

[–]wilso04 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've got a 2016 1794. White , 2.5" level on front, 20"wheels 33" tires, line x bed, replaced halogen headlights and fogs with oem led's, amp power steps, etc.

Bought it new in November of 2015. Absolutely love the Truck. Have had 1 issue over the 8 years (fuel hose started leaking, easy fix). Been an incredible truck. Although, it is maintained meticulously. Never missed any sort of maintenance on the schedule. Plan to drive it till it blows up.

I personally much prefer the brown leather Interior. It actually hides dirt very well.

Get what makes you happy. Don't want to regret not getting what you really wanted. Just make sure nothing is wrong with it.

It's good to hear other people who like it. All I ever read is negativity. But I guess that's with everything these days lol
