I know. I didn't buy them intending to use them for anything except mockup, fitment, and possibly a small amount of road use until I have the cash to get a new set of something decent.

A tire groover could make those tires worth running.........

Nah lots of guys have tried it, the tread compound is too hard to get good traction even with liberal grooving.

Can you post a picture from the front of the truck to see how the tires exceed the truck?

Slightly less than half of the width of the tire is out past the fenders. I'll be working on it next weekend so I'll get that pic and more if I have extra time.

Thanks, I think I'm gonna do the same next summer (D60 and 14B). Do you have offset wheels?

They're American Racing Outlaw II's. I'm pretty sure they only come in one offset for 16x10.

Hey, what are you gonna do about that toothpic driveshaft?

 

[sasdranger]

I've already got huge gains by swapping out that mud/snow plow that we know as a ttb.

i hear ya there, i had IFS and that's worse if you ask me.


Nice truck, i like how its turning out.

Sawzall'd the fenders out last weekend, applied POR15, and then put the bushwacker flares overtop. I've got a few tube adapters and some taps on the way from Ballistic Fabrication to finish the steering. It should have been done, but my welder f'd some of them up when he burned them in too hot. The transmission crossmember is about half done and should only take another couple hours.

I know, this build is seriously lacking in the pictures department. Every time I go out to the farm (4 hr drive) and work on it, I end up working until I absolutely have to leave due to time. I promise that when I'm out there in a couple weeks I'll take plenty of pics.

Toothpic driveshaft??? Not sure what you're referring to. Both the front and the back are at least stock tube sizes. Definitely sufficient.
