Creedler's College Kid Build

thanks, I've been following your build for over a year. It has come a long ways. looks great and sure it functions even better.

 

Just checked out your build the other day, looks awesome. How do you like your S/C? I would love one but it's more of a dream as its not functional for me nor do i have the extra cash at this point.

I went to Sand Lake quite a bit when I was younger. Now when I get a chance to visit my parents I usually spend most of my time surfing, fishing and sitting on the patio drinking beer at the pub

 

Thanks, its a work in progress. I love the supercharger, it is the best mod by far. But yes it is expensive as hell, especially when you have to put premium in it at every fill up.

Very nice, love the fishing and drinking part. Never done the surfing part.

If you would like, we are putting together a build/trail day together. If your interested let me know. It will be up in Monmouth, so about 1 hour north of Eugune.

 

Oh yeah i didn't even think about the need for premium gas. Plus you can't drive always drive conservatively, keeping the rpm's under 2k all the time with all that added power either


yeah the build day sounds great, I've always wanted to do the satoshi grill but have been a little nervous about taking it on myself. Are the plans in the Oregon Scheduled Meet thread? Even if I didn't have any mods to complete I would wanna learn/help out fellow TW members.

 

What were the specs on the Raceline Raptor wheel you put on? Backspace & offset? Did you have much to trim?

Looking on the Raceline website, the 17x9, which I assume you have, is a backspace of 5" and 0 offset. If this is what you have, how close to your light racing UCA is the tire? I have fairly much the same setup as you, Toytec lift and Light Racing UCAs.

Your truck looks great with those wheels and tires!

 

Thanks. If i remember correctly you are spot on the with the backspacing specs. I don't have the truck anymore so I couldn't tell you exactly how close the tires were to rubbing on the UCA but it was damn close. I did some wheeling with the truck and never had problems with rubbing on the UCA's. I hacked the hell out of my inner fenders to prevent the tire from rubbing when flexed though. Hope that helps, sorry i can't give ya exact specs.

 

I figured the tires must have been very close to the UCA with 5" backspacing. The general rule on 17x9 is 4.5" to 5.0" backspacing, so I guess that holds true! Thanks for the info.
