Yes, still stock tires for now. Thinking about going with the Nitto Terra Grappler G3 - 275/70r18 in SL and hoping to not see too much of an MPG hit.

I've had mine off for a couple of tanks worth of gas and haven't noticed any changes either. Still humming along at about 22.4 MPG.

I've got the same thoughts rolling through my head around tires'/wheels' impact to fuel mileage and performance (also noise and ride quality, but want to keep this on topic). I'm definitely not interested in "big, pokey, oversized tires" (and don't want a Jeep or Bronco! 😆), but I do want...

Thanks for sharing this! It's at the top of my list, since I want to go with 275/70/18 in an SL rating. Still would love to hear more real world experience, specifically performance in wet conditions.

Thanks for the update and glad to hear you're liking them! Any feel for how they do in the rain? I'm in the PNW, so am looking for something that performs well when it's wet...so like 9 months of the year! 😆

I've been watching some YouTube videos and starting to think about tackling a section or two next year. Please report back if you do end up going! Edit: Whoops, just re-read your latest post and realized you did tackle a couple of sections. Looks like you had a blast!

Just the factory rails and crossbars for me, but very similar commute, with very similar results - 22.66 MPG, just about 2250 miles.

I'm interested in these as well, but I'd really like to see some real world reviews...

Those look fantastic! Seriously considering the same for mine. Looking forward to hearing how you like the ride/noise/MPGs.

Welcome from a fellow PNW-er!

I've seen it yellow/orange/red, but I'm certainly no expert! Not planning to change it, because it was a PITA. :LOL:

Welcome from a fellow PNW owner! Good luck on your quest to find your ideal LC!

Hand wash only for me!

I got the exact same set and they work great!

Welcome from a fellow Meteor Shower owner on the west side!

There are several on Amazon, but I went with this one - OXILAM Tri-color Grille Badge... Amazon.com

Me too! As much as Bonney Lake / Buckley qualifies as "Seattle area", at least! 😆

After removing the shroud like @EOD Guy suggested, I used a small ratchet along with an extension and deep well socket to install mine. Was pretty fiddly to install with the grille shutters in the way, but I'm happy with the result!

The first one I saw in the wild was Heritage Blue several months ago. Then I saw a black one and an underground just before I got mine in mid-August. Since then, I have seen two others in black.

I'm at 22.87 mpg over the almost 1300 miles I've put on mine. Mostly from a 15-mile, 50/50 (hwy/city) commute 3 days a week, some tooling around town, a 250 mile trip with a lot of highway, and a bit of trail driving. Super happy so far, especially considering I came from a 2006 F150 with the...

My Star Wars fan kids latched onto the space theme so now my Meteor Shower LCLC is "Lando" :cool:

Joining the Meteor Shower party!

Hey everyone, meet Lando! That's the name my Star Wars fanatic kids suggested for our Meteor Shower LCLC Premium (the Meteor Shower color led them to a space theme, which led them to Star Wars and Lando Calrissian...you know how it goes :D). I lucked into it about a month ago when the folks who...
