Wait and do 35's, then you can be cool like Travis

 

Alright @BadgerBoy, can't make fun of me for my 32's anymore. Haha.

 

I really like my wildpeaks, and you can't beat the price if you catch one of the DTD sales/deals

 

hmmm, thought I made fun of you for having 2wd

 

damnit I'm too slow!!!

 

When I bought them a few years back they were $180 shipped on Amazon, and the going rate for other 265s ATs was around that $150 mark. And when I looked then, there were hardly any other C-rated 265s besides duratracs

 

@MDB Taco I told you, you need to jump on this https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...ons-pelfreybilt-full-prinsu-snork-25k.527829/

 

Bruh. EIGHTEEN hours away.

 

Road Trip!!! That thing is DONE!! and is freaking awesome!!

 

He would be @Mad T 's twin!

 

I think I'm tired of 18s, only e load and kind of tired of tall 33s.

 

I just went blackout on my 3gen headlights. Really happy with results. Matte black helps hide imperfections and doesn't require a clearcoat to look finished, depending on the color it may look to much like a ricer..just my opinion. It's fairly simple just need balls, patience, finesse and a little luck.

 

Yeah I agree on being to ricey. I have pyrite mica paint, I figured its dark enough to look good, and worse case I can just go over it with black. Seems pretty easy, any tips for separating the two body pieces? I have heard differing opinions on heat, time, and method of prying. Thanks!

 

16s are where it's at! Make the tires look bigger. Thomas just got 17s on his 35s Wildpeaks and those 35s look tiny!

 

It's relatively easy, yeah just nerve racking! I followed this thread pretty faithfully as far as temperature. 300° for 10 minutes on the left assembly, then pulled apart 3/4 off the way until the adhesive sealant started to dry back up. Then I put it back in the oven for another 5 minutes and it came apart with some love from the heat gun. As far as how to separate, I had some gorilla grease gloves that allowed me to grip the headlight and not burn my hands. They pretty much pop apart, but they're stubborn. Keep in mind the glue doesn't melt or even change viscosity it just loses its adhesive properties. It will still be hard like plastic hot. In other words, the plastic will melt from the heat gun before you melt the glue and the pliers will bend the plastic if you don't hold your tongue right. Sorry meant to keep this brief..pm me if you have more questions. Also check out this video.
