CZeroMedia's Budget Trophy Truck Pic/ Video Build Thread

well after hours and hours of research, i bought a set of Method NV (16x8) with BFG KO2's (285/75/16). I will post up a few pictures once its arrived

Ive been busy renovating the garage. im gonna put in a welder and pipe bending/cutting/fabbing equipment in there and get started on my tube bumper up front

 

When you are talking about cars, it's tubing. Pipe is for poop. Pipe is measured by it's inside diameter, and tubing is measured by it's outside diameter. Typically pipe is very soft and has no value in automotive applications, while tubing is seamless and has much more structural integrity. A pipe bender will kink tubing.

You'll dig the methods, they are hard to beat for the price. Interested to see how you like the new BFG's.

 

i did not know pipe was measured by ID and tube by OD. you learn something everyday thanks. looking forwards to the new wheels

 

haha thanks!

haha. i jus removed the step bars and truck is already looking better

 

Your truck looks good. I'm like you, love the baja style but living in the North East doesn't really give me deserts to run in.

 

Where did the fender flare extenders come from? Is that a custom deal?

 

yea its custom. ill be removing these soon

 

They seem to be a good idea. My tires stick out too far and I'm looking for a cheap option to stop so many rocks from hitting the truck.

 

it does serve a good purpose.. but im not sure if i like the looks of them

 

id grab some red letter grabbers, take out a couple leafs or the block in the rear so you can get that lean, 2" wheel spacers then run some basic front flares and pull the bed sides, you could take off the tailgate and the bumper and just run a spare flat down with a strap and put a piece of tube for the bumper, then just get some fake beadlock rims, led bar in the front, and just a basic tube bumper for the front with some sort of skid, that should get the look you want..

 

Much better! excellent wheel choice.

 

Wheels look awesome! Have you thrown them on the truck yet??

 

thanks guys. not yet. i have so many projects going on at once. plus i have to figure out how to jack this beast up haha

 

side steps removed.
extended fender liners removed.
ugly rims gone.

better.

 

Very nice....
