    It's the tube bumper. It shows a lot of unusable space. It does make the tires look beefy though lol

    One word. Sawzall... or grinder... or welder... or firewall... :rolleyes:

    relocated my mudflaps to my rear bumper support with some zipties, that way they rip off and dont fuck anything up.

    also started the tubbing process, (thanks for the write up Monte) didnt get to far, decided we need a body saw to make quick work and no sparks, cut off wheel wasn't cutting it and plasma was having a hard time with all the seam sealer.

    :notsure: I dont know. I never even considered 35s. My truck just gets me back and forth to my job, pulls things if I need to, or drives me to the deer woods.

    me too, it will be this week, had to order a few tools for the rear diff, set the tension on pinion and in lb torque wrench.

    thought about it but didnt have small enough blades and didnt want to cut through wires, need a body saw anyway, like $15 at harbor freight with my 25% off coupon :cool:

    Well I will say the body saw did almost nothing for me.

    Especially by the door. Too many layers and thicker metal.
