I did that for awhile first, but it can fall off pretty easily with bumps or corners. About the third time I had to retrieve my phone from the passenger floor I decided to mount it there.
I just bought the mount, peeled the paper off the adhesive tape, carefully lined it up and pressed it on there. It works great there as long as I don't want to use the front cup holder for a drink. It will work with a water bottle, but it's not great if you have a large Chick fil A cup.
I have the OT with the Toyo AT3s and I have them at 33psi and they seem just fine and my mileage seems decent too with an overall calculated average just barely shy of 18mpg over 8K miles.
I wish they would update the two up view of the tach and speedometer to change the speedometer range from 0-160 to 0-120. If the truck has a controlled max of 109mph why does the speedo go to 160? You have to drive 80mph just to get the speedo to get to the halfway point.
I'm at 5 months and just over 7300 miles and I'm at 17.69mpg average, but you can see the variation in the attached image. Mine is an OT with stock tires, and I have run 93 octane fuel only, so far.
The first time it will take you about 10 minutes to figure out out, after that you can take it off in under 5 minutes. You will need a flat blade screwdriver and a T30 Torx driver and it's definitely nice to have a helper when you lift the roof rack off.
For what it is worth, I made another change in an attempt to further reduce wind noise from the OT roof rack. I moved the roof rack back exactly six inches. Doing so required carefully drilling holes to locate the roof rack supports, and then kinda redrilling the holes for one that needed to be...
I like that the JW bumper has openings to reach in and free spool the winch, or even plug in a cable if you have a wired remote. What I'm not sure about is what it looks like behind the bumper and in front of the wheel wells. Seems like it might just be open. Victory seems to have a slotted...
Hey everyone, I am currently aware of two front winch bumper options for the GX550.
The first one that came out was from Victory 4x4 and can be seen here: GX Front Bumper | Blitz | 550 (24+) - Victory 4x4
The second is from JW Offroad and can be seen here: GX550 LOW CUT FRONT WINCH BUMPER...
I have only used 93 octane so far. I'm not sure if they have as much ethanol in the 93 octane, but definitely not running anything over 10%.
Edit: I was thinking ethanol had a lower octane rating, but it's between 100 and 114 from what I can find, so 93 probably does have 10% ethanol.
Driving in Indiana and a few trips to Michigan, here's my stats for the first 6K miles. Averaging 17.61 mpg. Mixed city, highway, rural, sometimes taking it real easy and sometimes testing that 6.5 second 0-60 capability.
I just checked my log and my max was driving 337 miles, the dte said 12 miles remaining, and I was able to put 18.088 gallons into the tank. For that tank I calculated 18.63mpg, so with 3 gallons remaining I should have had about 50 theoretical miles. But I have read in some posts that the fuel...
Yeah, they need to modify that part just a little bit, or add something like what I did to fix this for current owners, because otherwise eventually they will ALL break.
