NYCO's '06 Boosted Blue Betty

yea those things are a joke

 

I think Noah needs to pick from his money tree and come get a nice winch!

 

it'll make a nice addition for somebody that's for sure...

getting this whole winch teardown thing down now

 

I have a winch already... Need to pick from the money tree and get an LT kit and a new winchline and maybe a few more things while the trees blooming haha

 

Lol yeah man I wish I actually had a money tree

 

My thoughts too. The only way I've found to totally stuff the fronts is to get the opposite rear tire higher...
I just removed the coilovers and cycled the suspension to see what I needed to clearance. I still have some more to do. The pinch weld area of my truck hates me right now haha.

 

Hit any switch backs yet??

 

nope...gone full lock to lock though with no issues...

compression and turning, i have no idea yet...but from the looks of it from when i was on the rock, there's no major issue at the moment

pinch weld is already beaten and with the fender and flare beat/cut back, it should be close to good..

there are instances where my tires would stuff more...like here,


and may need some trimming on the top of the flare, but we'll see when i get an opportunity to push it that far..

 

and instances like this will be interesting to see

 

^That is where you will have issues if the pinch weld area is not beat back enough. The two main areas for me are up front underneath the washer fluid reservoir on PS and the same area on DS, and the pinch weld area and about 3-4 inches towards the frame.

 

you're having issues up front too? hmmm i don't recall anything coming close up there..but i never looked that hard up there as most of the issues commonly are found in the back of the tire

 

crazy how much 1+" makes a difference haha

 

At full stuff and full lock (with coilovers pulled out), yes. I had to bash that area upward about an inch. It shouldn't stuff quite as much with the coilovers in though. But my goal is to have no rubbing at all, ever. So I figure I will do more than is needed..

 

interesting...one of these days when i have more time i'll have to look into it..tough with only one free day a week right now..only so many hours in the day

 

^

all the cutting I did and I can still rub



Id try to cut some more flare Bob, maybe trim the whole flares like the coo kids
id hate to see them pop a clip off, did it with my 295s

 

Those some fat shoes....lookin good!

 

just looked up in there this morning...i see what you're talking about...i'll have to see how close i come with the bumps...but maybe a bfh and snips could help out a bit..

i've gone in about another inch in that area and beat back the metal fender in that area as well..should be good back there...

it's now whether or not i'll hit up top on extreme compression and in the front like jon was pointing out..

thanks buddy..i'm liking it..just sucks being on pavement all the time not taking them on the trails...

needing to get up soon and get some more dirt on them

 

I hear ya wish I was doing Moab again this year but three years driving X country I needed a break and something a lil closer. I was thinking about the Good Years as well they look to be pretty nice.

 

yea i kept going back and forth on which to go with but after seeing more and more of these on our trucks, i had to go with them...and when you see them on so many crawlers and koh trucks, you know they gotta be good off road

sounds like winter driving could be improved with siping, but we'll see

you should shoot up north of the border and explore up there...when i end up back there i been thinking about getting a rtt and check out some wilderness up there for some vacations

sure they got some great fishing spots
