Because 35's kick butt (manymany pictures)

[Dishtowel]

So, I was bored today and I bolted on my 35"s. I knowIknow, I have to do some fender trimming, but that dosn't make them any less awesome.

The original 29" stockers.

One 35 on.

All them on

I can only turn to the left on flat ground because the front right tire hits, lol.

Then just flexed abit for fun.

 

[fordwheelinman]

i take it those are the new style bfg muds?

 

[wahlstrom1]

Nope, they're the old ones that have been grooved. It's amazing what you can do with a groover...I love making people go WTF?

Ya, those are my personal "BFG Boggers" lol.

Thanks!

lol, yes I was teasin you about your flex, because it looked like you were about 20" off the ground. I say *looked*, could have been more. I can go about 4 more inches up with that tire, to about 25-26", with TTB. I want to see your monstrous solids at 36", will it do it? i hope so. And no, the cat is not pissing on my tire, it's coming begging for attention. I'm not a cat person so it left soon.

Time to trim the hell out of those fenders.

What are you running for gears?

 

[Dishtowel]

yap, goodbye fenders.
Gears? 3.73 right now, I have axles with 4.88's in them sitting on a pallet awaiting my free time. I dont think I will have time until 2-3 weeks from now. And the rad has a bizarre pinhole in the tank that needs tended to.

No grill or lower trim thats what makes a 1st gen a 1st gen.

The electric fans behind the winch (that interfere with the grill) are more important that a grill, lol. The theme for this truck is "function over looks".

yeah but...but..but..but...man! I hate it when your right! j/k j/k. lol What a great opportunity to use your imagination and fab a homemade custom grill

Ya, I was thinking about having it 'framed' by 1x1x1/8 hss, cover the front with expanded metal, then in front of the rad I was going to put some flatbar's tilted at 45* (top edge to the front, bottom edge towards the rad). I'm hopeing this would give me kind of a DarthVader look and help keep sticks out of my rad!

lol, that was taken with no motor trans or t-case in the truck, i might get bored again since now i have that all in the truck and bust out a tape measure LOL

well damn, i just went out to see, i only got to 31" with the ranger bastard pack and blocks in the back, will retry once i put in the chebbies and that should give me ALOT more flex in the back before the tire lifts, i also beleive that my springs being very stiff up front is limiting what im able todo flex wise, looks like that will be something i will be lookin at upgrading in the near future
