RelentlessTaco's build up

How do you lose 6-7 bolts? At least we didn't do it at Brown's. I think we would have lost all the bolts. You don't really need them. I put bolts in the main areas. So if you don't find them it's no big deal.

 

lol. I'll find em, I've just gotta look. Theres a few places I know to look where they might be.

 

Your slower at taking/posting pictures than my 95 year old grandma

 

Some of us run outta patience man we want pictures!

 

Teaser before the good pics...

 

Nice Eric!

 

Tons of clearance

 

Now that rack needs to be black!

 

Just get rid of the headache rack.

 

Thanks Colton!

Yep! I'm going to pull a coilover and cycle the suspension with the steering wheel turned every way possible to double check for complete clearance now. Should be pretty damn good though!

Yeah you were man. I'm liking the black as well.

I was thinking the same.

Jason is getting the AP rear in a week! Then I might rock his stock bumper for a little while until I have the free time to design a new rear bumper, but there will be a new one very soon! I dont think I can handle the look of going back to a stock bumper for very long. lol

Nah, its too useful. For instance, I need it in order to haul the 20' lengths of steel tube for doing sliders and hoops and such.

 

I'm gonna go snap some more pics and do a little more modding this afternoon and then I'll post up everything this evening(finally ).

 

Alright here's the big update....

The 35's already looked awesome and fit OK with the trimming I did but with the way I use my truck, I still needed a little more clearance but didnt want fragile fiberglass. Thanks to Anton (all.on.black), I now have a factory modded look, and an extra 2" of clearance all around!!!

The process:

Flares removed:




Marking for cutting up the sheet metal:


Anton hacking away at my fenders..



Sheet metal all cut and bent over


Final product... 2" of added fender clearance and a like-factory looking flare. The original mounting points were retained and simply folded back so I can go back to stock flares and fender liners if necessary.







And another mod thanks to Anton.... Blacked out headlights with genuine BMW Xenon projectors retrofitted in. They have 55W 5000K DDM Tuning HIDs in them... The result: super bright and focused light with no glare for oncoming traffic (plus they look sick as hell!)

 

Damn!! so sick!

 

Thanks! I'm diggin the look.

 

Looks clean dude

 

A couple notes... You didn't want the stock mounts still on there so chopped them off... There's no going back to the stock flares for you my friend. I gave you the option but you said you wouldn't go back to stock so I hacked them off.

Second note... The projectors are TL Bi Xenon projectors the shrouds are BMW E46 shrouds.
I see Tim has made it back.

 

Looks great Eric!

When I saw the grinder, I cringed...
