Cody's 2002 build "The Tank"

Well I was planning on 35s for sure. And an arb up front..

But 37s would be bad ass haha

 

lol Nice. Good size.... I bet you're right.

Dang. 100lbs ain't bad. That's what my current 35s weigh! Mostly due to the procomp wheels though... heavy as sin.

Would be sick!!! Just be sure lock up that front end and carry LOTS of spare CV axles.. lol Just in case it take a while for you to get used to having a feather foot instead of lead.

Mark was on 37" KM2s, which are slightly undersized..... and 2nd gen front ends are a bit stronger than ours.. but still.

Any plans to lock the front end, Cody? Might be a good idea so your not shredding up the spider gears....

 

Perfect! I would be insanely !!!

 

We shall see..will depend on how things buff out haha would be sick. I'm still tossing the idea around of slapping a 2nd gen diff up there..

 

i could be wrong. i prob am. i know they are heavy as crap though.

i could have swore mark said his measured to 38 something. idk no biggy.
nope. no point in locking the front now that i'm set on doing a SAS this year. i'll lock that one.

some some good news for y'all. wait till these pics upload

 

okay now i started out with my spacers on and couldn't figure out why these seemed so much more wider than before.. haha duh stupid me though they are still wider than i usually prefer. so the first 2 pics are with spacers.
also these are at full stuff.














turned pass. have to trim the fender a little more. it looks like i won't have much to take off my slider if any.




front of the inner fender. don't let the pic deceive you.




turned driver




so. i don't have to touch my cab mounts, or door hinges. yessss. i am however going to take out the washer fluid tank because it rubs that bad. gotta trim the front bumper now too but i may wait till after the run this weekend because i def don't see me stuffing this where i'm going.

 

Looking good!!!

 

Shit that fit good.

S what now..1" BS haha I have 2.5" as it is but holy shit man haha might as well take the fender off lol

Jon(45acp) has a great way of replacing the washer fluid tank. Give him a shout. Should be in his build too.


I'm liking 37s more and more..

 

i've seen people make tanks out of pvc piping. problem is that my motor that goes in the bottom of the tank was ripped out almost 2 years ago and i just never replaced it. all in due time.

Update. i'm an idiot. okay that's not an update but just stating a current fact. the first tub has to be redone. atleast another inch has to come out.
not sure if i'm going to do this tonight or sometime this week. i don't think i have enough sheet metal to do it all again tonight.

 

Yea that's what Jon did.. I have a spare tho ya know

And not surprised! Haha

Are you going to run the spacers too?

 

whenever i feel like wasting money on one, i'll hit you up! what do you want for it? my wiring may be long gone anyways lol.

nope, no spacers. it just looks too ridiculous to me with spacers. i mean, if i had LT and had to hardware to show up under there it may be anther story
gonna make a drink and walk down to the garage and ponder. see if i feel like fixing it tonight or just starting the driver side.

 

Just the motor? Shit hardly anything haha

Makes me wish I had gotten 6" fender now

 

fiberglass? eh. for me that would be bad. i get too teeder-tottered close to trees. the first time you'd press it against a tree you'd crack the glass. i'd rather a dent or scratch than a giant rip lol.

 

oh i'll leave another shot here.
no coils. i. love. this. stance.

 

holy. hows the full turn lock situation?

 

Well I don't haha ifi do..probably wouldn't get back up with the RTT haha

But covering 12.5s with LT is gonna not be great with my current 4.5s

 

x2. My guess is rubbing frame at full lock/full stuff, but I'm curious as to how bad and if there's any frame rubbing at ride height/full lock...

 

actually no frame rub at all.
hold on, as of right now no frame rub at all
once again i'm not locked up front either so i won't be able to comment on that portion.
