I have 4.56 for mine as 410 seemed a little low, but 4.30s are not there.

Funny how the 35 tire just measures 33 at rest! I was guessing 34.5 or similar and there is still lots of tread.

Yes he is.

Tire height is really relative to the width of the wheel, weight of the vehicle, and the load placed on the tire. a "static height" or unloaded on industry standard wheel, inflated to test pressure levels for 24 hrs is what they are allowed to list the height at. Mounted on a non standard wheel, under load, different air pressure etc will cause the variations you're seeing measuring from the ground to the top of the tread, but the rolling diameter generally remains close to the listed height unless you're running extra wide wheels.

Side note; we're contemplating 4.30 gears in a manner of speaking. 4.44 gears exist in the aftermarket for the 11.5 rear, but not for the front 9.25", and we have seen a better all around "fit" for the taller ratio with 35" tires and Allison 6 speed than the 4.56 for general usage in 2wd applications. Taking that into consideration if there is enough market demand for a ratio we'll create it.

Using the transmission tire and gear calculator on my website, https://www.ringpinion.com/calculators/Calc_RPM.aspx one can add their tire size, gear ratio and vehicle speed to calculate RPM. with 265/70/16 and 3.73 gears, 65mph would generate 1598rpm in 6th. putting 35" tires on would decrease the RPM to 1443, meaning 1-4th gears would be working harder to generate the same amount of torque, explaining the loss of MPG, forcing one to drive like a high school kid, flooring it from a stop just to get up to speed so to speak. A change to 4.11 gears would bring the rpm back up to 1590, only 8rpm off so that would be perfect right? Not really. The tire height change inherently changes the physics of the truck; higher in the air creates more drag, larger tires and wheels weigh more. it'd be as if you were hauling or towing every day with this ratio change. An ideal change would be 100-200 rpm over the stock RPM curve. Currently 4.56's put you at 1764rpm, 166 rpm over stock. 4.30 gears would put you at 1664rpm, 66 rpm over stock. not ideal, but if you live in flat land and drive 85mph everywhere it's a solid choice.

If you want 4.30 gears, call in and request them. request them from distributors too. The more we hear about it, the better chance you have of getting what you want;-)

I've got a briggs-stratton 5500 http://www.searsoutlet.com/Storm-Responder-5500-Watt-Generator-Non-CA/d/product_details.jsp?pid=8487 that I've been running since 2008. Had the gen-tran panel wired so HH6 can simply flip the main off, and turn on the 5 selected circuits for stove, fridge a few outlets and the electric blower on the gas fireplace. She just rolls it out the garage to the driveway and it fires up on the first pull every time. (lots of trees and wind in November. we've got buried cables but the surrounding neighborhoods don't) couldn't complain about it for nothing.

We collaborated on a build for Uncle Ted through Tough Country Suspension. We provided Gears and Hardcore hubs and chromoly axles  via a Yukon spin free conversion kit

I'm sorry Shawn...

Pictures, nice. Now get it dirty!!!!

Is it a 3 car with a drive through?

You turnin' green over there JR? Fine looking floor you got goin' on there. Very nice work.

Yikes! Praying that everyone is ok.

She'll probably establish eminent domain and he'll wind up paying taxes.

Dang, I was wondering how much wood Chuck could chuck, and turns out it's a fair amount! Beautiful countryside there, and yeah, monster mower but no auger... Congrats Bear, welcome to the club!

Amen. And as much trial and tribulation as it may seem like, I feel like you're making the right choices for your family. God Bless

gentleman, im tired. tomorrow i acquire a farm. I'll have pear trees and a pond and a hell of a lot of work to do.

i need a good catfish noodling outfit as well.

I'll leave ya'll with this..

and to all i say goodnight.

My wife requests that soup all the time. I work a few miles away from an Asian market and can get the galangal and blue ginger. awesome stuff.

I'd be happy now just to find the time for it. I gotta schedule my schedules

Purchase metal barrel
Punch holes in metal barrel
Remove HEAD of male who didn't heed my requirements to date my daughter
Place in barrel and load in truck
Drop off streamside near Sophie's "picture rock"
Select Tile for Bathroom
Demo Bathroom
Refer to DOT suggestions for laying said tile
Contact an actual Tile Specialist as DOT's are full of it
Schedule a massage in new bathroom with candles
Ignore DOT's comments trashing my Bathroom Build Thread

There, got you started Tate!

I'm literally dying of laughter here, nice work!

Spanish rice, guac, carne asada, shredded cheese and jalapeños with tapatio inside a over processed flour tortilla. Heartburn was quick, and deserved.

Heyoooo!

I'd be happy now just to find the time for it. I gotta schedule my schedules

lifter tic, in a pushrod v6 gm??? if it was a Mitsubishi I'd walk away but c'mon man, it's a s10 blazer, couldn't kill it if he tried! you need to advertise that up here in the NW where the 4wd is more appealing and it'll get snatched up ricky tick.

Good for you Tate!  Keep that photo next to JR's post about "deep running water" and title it.........looking at the last boy who didn't head my fathers instructions!  ;)

I love it!

Although I was thinking crimea

That, and I think it was dropped from a loader, not from on high like we wish.

Sam took Sophie to downtown Seattle for an audition with Amazon's marketing department. you may see goldilocks on some of their media pretty soon. paying gig too, so we're opening up a trust for college. She's also headed to Kindergarten orientation/assessment today w/ big bro. but I get to take her myself next Thursday for 1st day. The wife sprained her ankle pretty badly at the river while camping last weekend, so I swept, vacuumed, mopped, cleaned all the nooks and crannies, made carne asada burritos with Spanish rice and fresh guac, disposed of two coronas and went to bed. This is the pic that caught Amazon's attention:

I'm sorry Shawn. I hope he's not in a lot of pain. Tell him thank you from me. he could have been one that watched after my uncles.

Thanks all. Just found a graph paper pad in my kids leftover school supplies. I plan on taking my time, and doing this right because it's obvious that it wasn't in the first place, and nothing bothers me more. I'm also sure that the flooring wasn't properly guarded against water either, so now would be that time as well. I'd rather adjust the baseboard trim and install a threshold than leave it the way it is now.

Yeah, Dad meets me in the parking lot at Legion in Everett, starts yanking clubs out of my bag, "you don't need this one or this one or this one, oh you like the putter that's right, don't need this one..." then hustles over to his truck and starts loading up a full set of G irons, couple hybrid swollen thumbs 5&3, a G15 3 wood and 5 wood, and that G20 driver. I was flabbergasted. She'd been saving for months since Easter.

I'll be able to tell once I get the tile up I imagine. I'll make sure to list it when I get to that point, but is there a reason to be concerned about the subfloor thickness and joist spacing, i.e. do I want a different concrete board for one vs the other?

I happen to have a 5 foot level (who knows why) but I planned on breaking out that sucker. I would imagine the trowels with the teeth help to ensure even thickness when you butter the backside of the tile and the floor?

chalk lines are a great idea, thanks Ken. I'll be bringing my carpenter's square with me when I purchase the tile to ensure squareness, thanks bear. bobby, I've done the removal process, long handle with a scraper blade and I remember that sucking intensely. I'm hoping as poorly as this floor was laid they'll just "come up" but time will tell. I'm thinking getting the sub floor level is the lynch pin for all of it right? from there, start centered, work outwards, even thickness on thinset, use the spacers. am I missing anything here guys?

Anyone on here with some tile experience game to lend an FNG some insight? 90% of my center two rows are cracked, grout is missing/falling out, and the tiles are loose and barely hanging in there. It looks like I could tackle this one myself, but I don't want to dive in uneducated and make rookie mistakes. 11-23/32 x 11-23/32 square tile on the floor including cut tile. assuming i'll need a full piece for each one currently in place I'm looking at 32 pieces, plus 10 for screw ups sound right? I don't believe any concrete backing was used in the original application and they were laid directly on the subfloor. i'll be remedying that, but any other tips/tricks suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
