what are your guys thoughts on arp lug nuts? they gonna do the trick just fine for my 5/8 studs?

 

Because racetruck

 

Kartek and others sell comparable strength 5/8 studs for a lot cheaper.

You mean these? should work fine if it's the same thread as your studs.

$125 is for the studs not nuts

 

did i say i was going to spend 125? http://www.summitracing.com/parts/arp-300-7801/overview/

24 bucks for a pack of 10. that's what i was going to order.

 

i just went with kartek. 1.59 per lug. cant go wrong with that.

 

I'm using ARP wheel studs with vato zone nuts. This works well because the nuts are soft and if you cross thread one it just eats the threads of the nut leaving the stud unharmed. I sheared off several stock and even a few aftermarket studs before I got these, but haven't had an issue at all since installing ARP's.

Anybody have any insight on 2nd gen frame boxing? I've seen kits out there for 1st gens, precut steel ready to weld, but I'm wondering what approach some have taken. It's not at the top of my list, but something I was thinking about today.

 

The trail gear ones for first gens don't fit worth a crap. I would suggest making a template and cut some steel

 

On my old truck we just used cardboard to make our templates from the cab back.

That could be something that Rebel Offroad can mass produce. Boom your going to get a raise for that idea.

 

Yeah looks like that's what I'm going to do. I just didn't want to do all the work then find out somebody has gone and done the leg work of cutting it into a kit or something like the first gens.

LOL I wish we had the time or resources to mass produce such a set. Maybe I'll make a couple test plates and see how it goes. I'm just not comfortable with leaving any part of the C-channel like that, especially behind the cab.

Our frames are fully boxed from the firewall-forward, correct? (too lazy to walk outside and peek under the truck).
