Hendy's 2012 Build

Trying out my new camera...Canon 6D.

 

Pavement crawling...

 

Great build. Beautiful truck. Just turned 5,000 miles on my 2015. Love the the grill. Just ordered mine today, along with matching surround, step up bars, and a bed cover. Tires, rims, a lift, and whatever it takes to get this truck sitting right, real soon.

 

You ever think of going with a 305 or 315 tire? The reason I ask is b/c i'm looking at those same set of wheels for my truck and cannot decide on what size tire to go with. I have 275 on now and I don't like how they look on my truck since I have lifted it, they look too small.

 

How do you like those tires?? I am leaning towards that tire.

 

Very nice Build !

 

Hey Ryan...Yes, I do plan to go to larger tires, probably after I upgrade the suspension and do some trimming. As it sits right now w/ 285's, it is very capable off-road and the highway manners are very good too.

 

Patrick, these tires are great...Have run them in pretty much every condition and they hook up nicely and they are not very loud on the highway.

 

Thanks Arty! It's been fun building this rig up...Installing an MBRP Catback Turndown later today, can't wait!

 

Sounds good. Yea I'm looking at selling my procomps and going with SCS F8 myself, in bronze of course. I haven't figured out if I want to just go with a 285 / 295 or go big with 35". Do you rub any where right now? Would you recommend just sticking with 16" wheels or go with a 17"?

 

I just went from the 255s (my beloved tall skinny tires) to the 285s and am actually liking them more. The steering is smoother, they don't wander as much and I don't notice a difference in MPGS after about 3-4 tanks.

I looked at 295s but for the extra width there just isn't enough height gain. 35s are overkill for me and require more effort than I am willing to put in.

 

Is your SCS 16" Zach? That's some good advice Zach. Thanks for that, I'm thinking of just sticking with 285. Anyone know of anyone who wants to buy some 17" pro comp 7031s?

 

Ryan, I rub a little when really stuffing the tires into the wheel well, it hits the inside of the fender flares, not a big issue. No rubbing during daily driving. I like the 16" rims, gives a little more sidewall.

 

How do you like your rigid fogs? Thinking about getting a set but unsure if the diffused lense is bright enough for daily use? If that makes sense.

 

Hey Hunter,
The fogs are great, use them whenever I drive at night...They have a really nice wide light spread. I also am running the new Phillips LED headlights from Xenon depot. Paired, they throw a ton of light out and it's all DOT approved.

 

Well that's the answer I was hoping for!! Glad you like them. Guess I will have to order them up soon

 

Truck is looking great man! Bumpers,sliders, cabrac, shell and that wheel/rim combo is nothing but win!

 

Sick Rig! Subb'd for sure! Can't wait to see what you are going to do next

 

Thanks for the nice comments guys, it's a labor of love for sure.

Couple additions planned for this weekend, will post results...Stay tuned!

 

Yes, mine are 16" wheels.
