Intake and exhaust sounds great, lots of turbo noises. The drone of the exhaust isn’t terrible but very noticeable. Wheels and tires make it in my opinion, there is about an Inch poke. That inch proves very hard for me to keep it clean, which is already impossible in Indiana farm country. I’m from north central Indiana so it’ll never do any real off roading. I am fully aware it’s mostly a “mall crawler”. The largest fuel loss was obviously from the larger and heavier wheels and tires. Currently I am getting 18.8 mpg.

Nice build! I like the smaller wheel / beefier tires look. And bronze wheels work perfect with your Heritage Blue color. No rub issue I assume? Keeping it stock height or looking at lift kit?

No rub issues, had it at full lock picking the kids up from school. Not going to lift it yet.

I'm NOT a bronze wheel guy at all but that combo really works, nice job!

Is there any drone on the highway with that AFE exhaust?

Are those the full size mud flaps? Trying to decide between the fulls and mids.
