CO Newbie

Hey all. New to this forum. hope to find lots of useful info.

 

Welcome to TW!

I take it by "CO Newbie" you mean Colorado. Where abouts?

 

Fort Collins, 1 hour north of Denver. Land of the MicroBrew!!

 

Is that where Fat Tire comes from?

Oh, where are my manners? Welcome to the forum! Sorry I got distracted by the beer talk.

 

Hey man welcome to TW! I joined not to long ago also.. lol But I saw you were from Ft Collins! I live in Greeley! Crazy..

 

Yeah, I know Fort Collins - a bit too well. I went to college in Greeley. I dated some girls from Fort Collins. I spent WAY TOO MUCH time partying in Boulder.

 

Boulder . You mean the People's Republic of Boulder?

Yes Fort Collins is the Home of FAT TIRE. We have quite a few other Micros as well.

Here are some pics of my truck.

 

Beautiful area! I'm so jealous! I like your tire rim combo. What kind of rims are those? Tires?

 

Yeah, I miss Colorado, but my wife won't do cold weather again.

 

285/75R16 BFG AT's on 16x8 American Racing Teflon Mojaves. This is the second set of Teflon Mojaves that I have owned. Had a set of 18's on my 04 F150.

 

I assume you have a 3in lift, do you have any problems with rubbing with tires that size?

 

I only lifted the truck about 2.5". I left the donahoes at 2.5" and I removed a leaf from the Dakars, and yes the tires rubbed up front. It was very minimal and i had it trimmed in about an hour, nothing major, just plastic. The rear tires barley rub on the inside of the fender, only if I really stuff them. I had to trim metal from the body panels on my 04 f150 to clear 35's... that was a lot more work.
