JohnC Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 I wanted some winter tires to get through the snow. Did Nitto Ridge Grappler in 285-55-20 on some cheap 20x9 Moto Metal MO970’s. Not the best looking, but I’ll be able to swap per seasonal conditions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnC Posted November 26, 2022 Author Share Posted November 26, 2022 Picked up a set of fog lights.

RaceAll Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 I've run about 8 sets of Nitto Terra Grapplers, on four different trucks, and love them. I've gotten 80-85k miles out of every set. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnC Posted December 1, 2022 Author Share Posted December 1, 2022 Diode Dynamics SS3 Max fog lights are in. Super pleased with these! IMHO worth every penny! This is low beams only. Camera did longer exposure, so it’s brighter in this picture than it really was. You can tell that by the blur. This is low beams with SS3 fogs on. The camera took a faster exposure. It was more bright in reality. Stock fog beam vs SS3 Both SS3 in and on Truck was on lift, so above my stock adjustment marks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mstrpth Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Now you just need your headlights to match Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley P Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 I watched the info vid about those lights, I'm glad they use reflectors to focus/direct that light. Too many folks here have LED headlights/foglights/lightbars that do nothing but put 10 billion lumens in every direction. And often I can read reflecting road signs well ahead of me because of those LEDs behind me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t get the low because I wanted to make sure these didn’t blind people in oncoming cars. But I couldn’t get them in the housing. They claim they fit so tight that some people have to remove the o-ring. We’ll see when I get time to try again…. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also hate the rednecks in their jacked up bro-dozers with every bulb swapped out for the brightest they can buy and they’re aimed right in your windows. Unfortunately around here, the. cops do nothing about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley P Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Factory GM trucks of the 2020-22 ish years are TERRIBLE - from the factory (I assume, as every one I meet at night blinds me.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnC Posted December 3, 2022 Author Share Posted December 3, 2022 LEDs are no joke! Our 2019 Toyota Tundra, Trd, sport 4 x 4, those LEDs are super bright as well, but they’re up high where they shine in peoples face sometimes, so once in a while, we get bright lighted. Luckily these fog lights are below the low beans, so they don’t blind anybody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley P Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 I've also noticed that with a trailer and tongue weight the new trucks are super blinding. I used to borrow a 90 1/2 ton chevy to pull my car, a few times I adjusted the lights so the low beams stayed low. Those were NOTHING compared to LED output.

JohnC Posted December 8, 2022 Author Share Posted December 8, 2022 So I already had the high beams. I decided to match it all and ordered the low beam LED’s too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
