newbies expedition rig.. slow and steady

Alright! So I 'm planning on turning my stock 2.7 regular cab into an offroad/expedition rig. nothing crazy no sas (yet) just armor maybe a lift, offset rims and some good tires. I want to be able to wheel and not worry but at the same time it will still get me from a to b without needed 7 tanks of gas!! here is the start!





And the start of the sliders, thanks to the kid building my armor!!



This will be a slow build seeing as I work at radioshack and the cash flow is more like a trickle! but hey if anyone is interested in wheeling around the central pa area lmk!! also the tool box is for sale will trade for parts!!

 

nice dude can't wait to see what you do

 

Thanks! So I'm looking at rims and I want a wider offset what offset should I go with and bolt pattern is 6 @ 5.5 correct? please correct me! My name says it all!

 

Trucks coming along, looks good!

 

Thanks!! btw donations are welcome. As for the offset, I want them even with or wider then my flares!

 

sliders finished and I tested them out!, this thing is fun to wheel! Anyone in the central pa area who wants to wheel lmk! even the Pittsburgh area I can meet up some weekends!

 

Bolt pattern is a 6x5.5 correct. as far as backspace you want like 4" to set even with/ over the flares. and no lift the biggest tire you can hold is a 265/75/16 if 16's are your rim size
