    My thinking on it would be to just cut as much as you can out of the firewall that way you never have to think about it again. Then again I've also never done it before haha

    I cut almost as much as possible, so It would be fun fitting 37s. Would have to push them out more, maybe an inch more bs, some how take more outnof the door area, even thoigh its alreay to the hinge, and put in steering stops like Silas.

    I sliced into my body mounts a bit. It's funny the things we do for bigger tires. Let me roll on these for more than 6 months!

    Now I'm working on camping comforts like lights and that shit. Not quite the beacon of light that monte has going on but it works

    Okay so...two things. Picture whoring BIG time :D as i haven't done that in a while..

    and got Frank alive again.

    my starter battery was totally dead...and i think my secdary is too :pout: Check it out tomorrow. But i went a bought a new yellowtop but the posts are further forward. I decided to just extend my battery terminal instead of redoing a bunch of wires.

    started with some right angle from the scrap pile.

    [​IMG]Photo 1.jpg by Monte Nickles Photos, on Flickr

    Lined it up for some drilling

    [​IMG]Photo 1-2.jpg by Monte Nickles Photos, on Flickr

    new holes

    [​IMG]Photo 1.jpg by Monte Nickles Photos, on Flickr

    Then i cut down the high side or most of it. I still wanted a bit there to help keep it ridged.

    [​IMG]Photo 1-3.jpg by Monte Nickles Photos, on Flickr

    how it bolts up

    [​IMG]Photo 1-4.jpg by Monte Nickles Photos, on Flickr

    tac welded some more bolts on the other end, slapped some paint on it and installed it

    [​IMG]Photo 1-5.jpg by Monte Nickles Photos, on Flickr
    [​IMG]Photo 1-6.jpg by Monte Nickles Photos, on Flickr

    Worked pretty well!

    have a TON of work to do. Lots of stuff to clean up and fix. really hoping my other battery is okay :eek:

    anyways. Waiting on flickr for the truck porn..and there is a LOT of it :D

    My only worry with that is that it's a large area for things to arc off of... Haha

    But I guess that just really comes down to paying attention when you're working under the hood.
