Rims are lookin good.

 

 

These tires didn't go on the truck without a fight. These are the battle scar pictures!!!

 

 

looking good, timber!!!

i should be getting mine on at the end of this coming week ... or, well, soon as my wheels arrive from Billy.

anyway, your setup looks very clean and nice ... time to get that thing dirty!!

 

 

 

and, that is some great work you did there on the trimming ... if i tried it, mine would have ragged edges hanging off all over the place and would probably look like it had gone through a shredder of some sort .... props to you for the hard, but awesome work you did!

 

Thanks for the compliments.

I had some good advice from a fellow customer at the tires shop. He suggested trimming the painted bumper with a Dremel Drill (plastic cutting bit). To protect the paint from chipping or damages, I taped the area I was going to cut with Blue Painters Tape. After measuring and checking the desired lines to cut, we just turned on the drill and let it do its magic.

It was relatively simple and clean. I used 240 and 400 grit sandpaper to smooth the edges before removing the tape. I then decided to touch up paint the unpainted plastic.

The wife didn't even know where I cut it.

After trimming all these places in the front, I don't rub anymore (for now).

I removed both front mud flaps. Like most others, I couldn't figure out how to modify the flaps, so it would stay mounted cleanly. So it would have to stay off. The rear tires rubs the rear mud flaps during hard turns into driveways. Therefore, it would have to go next.

Hopefully, I won't rub the living daylight out of my fenders at Big Bear!!!

 

I feel so inadequate.



How's the road noise? after you got rid of the rubbing, of course

 

looks good! Are those the same wheels as Lance has? They look familiar.
anyway, it looks really good!

 

tires and rims looks sexy. Time to break it in during the BigBear Run...

 

Looks great!!! Good job on the trimming, hope you have very little rubbing when you go wheeling in August.

How is the road noise with those bad boys on?

 

timber,

bad ass!

looks like you just waxed it too just for the pics

How much tint do you have on those front windows? I've been looking to tint mine but don't want to give the cops another reason to pull me over. I'm thinking maybe 60%. Atleast something so my my trucker's tan doesn't get any worse.

 

wow, i love it. nice job!

 

If you are rubbing like that just driving on road, you are going to rub like mad when you get off a smooth surface. I suggest you find a place to do some flexing and see just how bad you are going to rub before you get into a wheeling situation and have to trim things on the fly. Looks good!
