GT's Ultimate PepBoys chrome isle collection with considerable BS

Right now there are 1.5" spacers on the front as I have Total Chaos spindle gussets welded in and the factory sport alloys don't have enough backspace. Once the fender work is complete the spacers will come off and a new wheel set that has the correct backspace will go on.

 

Fenders are painted.





I think they look fantastic. Take note that they don't match up with the factory bumper anymore - I'll get better daylight pictures with a tape measure - as they are a bit wider, but I'm not stressing about it as I'm pretty deep into the @RelentlessFab build queue for a new bumper anyway. The body shop even took the time to refit my factory radio antenna and make a new bracket for it. I hadn't asked him to as I was figuring that I would move it to a Relentless hood mount. Once I can get the 35's mounted and then start cycling I'm hoping that it won't be in the way.

Need to take my son to karate school but will get more pictures soon.

 

Sick

 

Fenders look good.... if you could send me pics/measurements of how much wider and how much forward the opening is from the stock bumper I can make your bumper match for you.

 

That's great customer service right there. +1 to you sir!

 

Damn those are those bulgy! Look good though

Did the body shop cut the hole in the fender i assume? Shame if you had planned on moving it and they didnt call.

 

That customer service right there just got my business!! Right on!

 

Have all of my TPMS sensor ID's logged and ready to program into my new sensors. Only problem is, the TPMS thread recommended sensors are in fact the only brand of sensor that the recommended programmer cannot work with.

 

And then some. As much as I want to do it the right way I'm really starting to get to the "close enough" phase of the program.

 

Like just removing the bulb? lol

 

Precision placement of electric tape.

 

Is there a reason you dont put the stock sensors in the new wheels? I probably missed it.

 

Wanted to save those so I could put 285's on the factory wheels and be able to switch back and forth when I want. Having both sets programmed the same would save me the grief and keep the system active.

 

How many tires can the truck recognize, or does it not matter so long as they have the right code?

 

From everything I have found, one set - five total - can be programmed to my 2011 model year. By having both sets of wheels using the same TPMS sensor ID numbers I wouldn't have to worry about reprogramming the ECU in the truck.

 

So what happens when you have 2 sets of wheels? do you have to program them again so the truck doesn't think you have 10 tires then?

 

Ha. Just keep the spare set in a different part of the garage/shop to keep the system from freaking out. When you swap, you hit the TPMS learn button underneath the steering wheel just like you do when you rotate.

 

Will do, I need to call this week to discuss options so I can order my rear bumper too.

I've only done business with Eric @RelentlessFab four times, and every time he has taken care of me with excellent service, a very high quality product, and fair pricing. As far as I am concerned when it comes to armor, if I want/need it, I will check with him first. I am giddily awaiting notification that my front bumper is being made.

I paid for my position in the MOLLE panel group buy that @docloco is running. Hope to be able to resolve a few organization issues that I've been dealing with when it arrives.
