Chrwilkins30's build

[chrwilkins30]

ordered Mickey Thompson classic II's from summit. shipping out today. They will probably sit out a bit further since they have 3.312 BS. more than likely will pull the spacers off. Which sucks since i just paid so much for them. But they should and easy sale since they are already milled for use over the hubs.

The rims already came in over night. Got them around 2pm. This is why I love summit, they have the fastest shipping out of everyone i've ever ordered from.On with the pics.

Checking fitment before going to get tires

where was your jackstand????// Tsk tsk not very safe with just a floor jack

 

[chrwilkins30]

Ummm.... In my garage?

 

[chrwilkins30]

ordered new floor pan from Broncograveyard. and decided how i'm going to mount all the aux lights in a fastronixs rocker switch panel mounted in the center console in front of the warning gauge panel.

$65 shipped but that includes disconnect plug that will make it easier to remove.
Will we done some time before winter starts

In a week a or two I will go get the tires on

 

[chrwilkins30]

Got the floor pan. and ordered new timken wheel bearings and seals from rockauto.com for around 50% of what auto zone wanted for the exact same thing.

Going to replace the rotors(warped), calipers(bleeders f'ed), hoses(split since i got it) and pads(just need them) and paint it all up nicely. Just waiting for advance to give me my $50 coupon that is given out on the 16th to buy the rotors from them. Have everything else already

POR and bedliner is on

Let the por dry over night and put the bed liner on this morning before work.

Tires are on!!

Order through discounttire last thursday and they had to be shipped from NC. came in saturday and got them mounted today before work.

They are 32/11.5/15.

Still need to buy need lug nuts before installing. They only have crome in stock and im not sure which one i want. If I go black ill order off ebay. Any input on which one I should go with??

 

[chrwilkins30]

could not find any black lugs in the right threads from parts stores so i got them off ebay. got 20 regular lugs and 4 locking lugs(just cheap insurance from thieves.) cost $36.98, hope they get in soon so I can get these tires on.

Sweet build man I like those wheels! You can by the lock rings for those?

 

[chrwilkins30]

no. my initial plan was to buy classic locks but the wait was just way to long. you would have to weld tabs to hold the rings on..


Also got my lugs in and putting the tires on in the morning. Pics to come!!

 

[86MUDRCJ]

Oh gotcha .looin toward the pics. I'm liking the build

 

[kris97ranger]
