Slodgetto's Green Dragon 4x4 Conversion Build

I like 10" bobs myself, but 12" bob with dovetails might be a bit too much? Wont have much bed left...

 

you want as much bed as you can to fit all sorts of camping gear and spare parts Besides can you fit a 37 in the bed after is bobbed and tailed? may not fit your cooler with it.

 

I really do like the 12 inchers.... I like how they go right up the the rear spring perches and let the shackles stick out a bit. but yeah, wouldn't be much bed left. I'll be running a tool box when I can find a cheap used one that'll fit, and then I'm hoping to make some sort of removeable spare trie carrier... Not sure if I want to eliminate the tail gate and sort of hang it off the end a little bit or not.

Should have a tool box for the spare parts and tools here soon... but camping gear is definately a consideration. (I'm usually one to pack light and make do, so I'm hoping I'll still have enough room.) If I don't have enough room, I guess I could always pull a small trailer. A 37 should still fit fine... Maybe not flat in the bed.... but I'm pretty sure I can get one to fit if I angle it up towards the cab (over the tire wells) are something along those lines.

 

Even with my 13" bob and a 35" lying down, I still have 25" of room between it and the other end of the bed. Plenty of room (IMO) for a toolbox and other misc junk.

Thanks for posting the pictures of the fenders BTW

 

ok yea cuz i was reading somewhere that you need longer shocks with the longer springs.

Yea joining TW is the best thing that i have done, im learning so much stuff i never would have. as for the installation, thats exactly what i had to do for my coil spacers since it just makes the coil/shock assembly longer. so thats good that i already know how to do that

 

I can probably do the Sunday wheeling... but I'm not sure yet. I'll post up when I know for sure.

Sweeeet. I think I'm just gonna do (attempt) an 8" dovetail with the bob then and call it good.

No problem, man. I had to get those pictures up anyway...

 

Sweeet. Should be a piece of cake, then.

 

In other news, I just mounted up the 35/1250r17 KM2s..... They fit and look great.

 

pics or it neve happened!

 

Awshum....where the pics?

 

Definitively bob it 12". I did, loved it... Now I have an exo.. :x

 

Thanks, man will do.

 

nice they look good. theyve still got some good tread on them too

 

Needs a bath.......... maybe tomorrow.

 

Thanks! Yeah, they definately still have life left in 'em! Very happy with the find...

 

You think it's a pretty bad angle? Meh.... Manual Hubs FTW. Also, they should get a bit happier when the skids and winch are added to the front....

 

Are those rock lights I see? Nice! Didnt know you had those!

New shoes look awesome! Now to break them in!

 

That looks fuckin killer Silas!! Seems like 35's the new thing these days, making me very jelly.

Your cv's dont look too bad. Just do the cv boot slide mod, diff drop and use your manual hubs wisely.

 

I wish! Naw, that's just the picture.... odd lighting. I edited this picture a lot to bring the white out in the headlights and to show the dirt. haha

and thanks, man! (hopefully this sunday up in Glorietta!)are you going?

ah.... At least they're only spinning when in 4wd, so I don't think I'll have to worry about putting grooves or cracks in the boots just yet...

Steering wheel is fine....... the cover is torn to pieces, but still intact.
