Josh40601's Build Thread. (D-ranged)

[-Nathan-]

ummm pics of tires??? what did you get?? are they balanced? perhaps a broken belt?

 

[Josh40601]

Tires are fine, no pics yet. I'll get some this weekend. I have a buddy coming out (Owner of Hellfire Fabworks in Lakeside) to help on Sunday.

The wheels and tires were not balanced. I am assuming (ok, actually, i am praying) this is the problem. I'll keep you guys posted....

Bead balance them yourself, take a pop/beer can upside down and fill it over level with brass/copper BBs and dump it in each tire. Works great and balances any faults in the tire or rim as they wear or chunk etc.

I'm gunna guess they are the old Goodyear MTRS.....







































Hahaha I already saw the sneak peak pics on Dezertrangers

 

[Z3CHYD]

just read all 47 pages of your build. my God you've made a shite ton of progress!! keep it up dude

 

[Josh40601]

Thanks guys. I ended up doing the BB balance. Worked great! Only drove the truck twice since the new tires are on. Sorry i haven't posted the pics or anything, I have been sick as a dog the last couple of days, so I haven't done anything. Did get the truck cleaned up though.

Without further ado.... D-Ranged with 37's

Fender flares make it flow IMO. could use a rear bumper though lol.


Looks good on the 37s

Thanks guys. Flares are staying. They keep me from dragging the bed sides, and i like the looks of them. I have ripped out almost every rivet, so they are just barely on there now, but i will keep repairing them. Look how scratched and beat up they are. Better them than my paint.

the bumper caused a lot of the damage on the bed side, plus i'm giving the bed lipo once its back in KY, so it doesn't make sense to add a bumper.

Nah, His big wide flares help with his looks, makes it look like it's Flexing it's muscles, and with his wide stance it's just that much better, it's the small skinny flares with skinny tires that make a truck look bad (and I mean as in just bad, not bad a$$), but that is my 2 cents..


But any who, I like this truck and the stance.

Oh i like the truck and the width and all and i understand you need them to be legal and clean and all that fun stuff but i just have a thing with flares i neber liked them even stock ones. It doesnt matter what it is everything looks better witha little tire sticking out
