Sorry Nonamex, past few weeks have been a sudden rush with work travel. As of today I still don't have the studs installed but glad to hear you were able to get them installed on your end. Let us know which rings you end up with; I've noticed small vibrations as well.

I have a victory shelf in the back with the side panels so it’s on there. I’m getting a goose gear deck plate as well so it might fit under there.

I went down the same rabbit hole and did the same as you. Ecoflow alternator charger and battery. Just a lot more versatile than a second car battery

I will commit to at least taking the wheels off the rear tonight to see if it’s doable in a driveway without pulling axles lol fronts should be fine

No I got lazy and haven’t gotten around to it lol also if you bought your Rays pre tariff craze, you can probably make a couple hundred reselling them. I ordered mine back in November and had people willing to buy mine after I got them quite a bit over to skip the wait and after the price...

I can't believe a retailer is telling us 5 threads is okay lol

5 full turns is only 7.5mm, barely over 1/2 the stud diameter of 14mm. It may or may not be an issue in terms of mechanical load (I can torque to 100ft-lbs) but places like Discount Tire will not service your vehicle. They require 8 turns by hand. They refused to mount the wheels to my car...

I’m putting the car up tonight and will be able to give a definitive answer on if extended studs are doable with just some basic hand tools

Oh sweet! I’ll take look tonight

Fortunately, I can get first articles for relatively inexpensive. It just gets bundled in with other prototyping work I send to my machining vendor. I actually asked Westcott if they would replace studs for me and they said no to doing to rear as they would have to pull axles. I don't know if...

I've modeled up some custom M14 ET lug nuts that have just small enough of a cylinder diameter to fit the ZE40X. They will be 4340, tempered to 800deg, and nitrided to have superior fatigue strength for years of being torqued on and off. There's not a lot of meat on the cylinder wall but I do...

They probably just mean Muteki Extended Lug Nuts that are an extended body, not an ET/Extended Thread. Ask them how many turns of engagement they get and the exact model of extended lug nuts. Side note, I do feel like it is incredibly irresponsible for retailers and RAYS themselves to sell...

I ordered those studs a while back, just haven’t had time to install them.

I have the same shelf and it’s been great. Definitely recommend the side panels as well. They’re out of the way and gives options.
