Mine looks clean from the outside but if you peak under the flare I got 4 - 5 extra holes for the Bushwacker bolts. Each big enough to stick your pinky in..... Did I mention I was drinking while doing this?

 

Ohh and that I don't like to measure, just eye ball it.... Which usually works out ok, execpt when it doesn't.

 

Ah. It's all good, only seen if you peek under her dress.

 

Oh but I like to peak.

 

Tax return can't come to soon.... I'm so behind

 

As for the bumper protruding into your fenderwells, I'd say to cut it and have a piece welded back in, but that would mean that the powdercoat would have to be refinished or touched up with spray paint. With stock sized tires on, why'd you make the cuts anyway? I would have waited to see where it needed to be cut depending on tire size and suspension setup. Might as well leave the bumper, it might need to be trimmed more than the fender... 37s?
And are you going to run beadlocks on your daily commuter? Seems like a lot of trade offs with the extra maintenance, weight, and cost.
Either way, it looks bad ass the way it is now.

 

Hey that's probably the only way to have one! I'd love one! I had an SL8-1 awhile ago with a bunch of HK G36 parts. Miss that rifle.

 

Plan has always been to go 34s or 35s so knew cutting and a BFH was in my trucks future. But I ran out of money and haven't made the upgrade yet. Only reason I made the cuts now is the Pelfrey front is made to line up perfect with a cut fender/flare and I thought it looked kind of odd without.

Also I wanted to make some practice cuts before I tackled the high clearance, figure if I fucked up the fender, just cover it back up and hide it with the flare.

As for the beadlocks, I think the only real con is they're not street legal. All the other issues sound minor. Granted I've never owned a pair.

 

As for being street legal, they look the same as every other fake "beadlock ring" out there so I doubt anyone would notice. IIRC Mrgrimm and Skygear are running beadlocks.

 

I believe the Hutchinson rock monsters are the only dot legal beadlocks.

But yes, there are so many beadlock style wheels, who is gonna know the difference.

 

Or could get some Staun's I would have them if I had 17" rims. No room for the valve on 16's.

I wonder how that work for my rims

 

A few random goodies came in.

 

Nice man. Glad you were able to unbox these without breaking them.

 

Looks like i have to take apart my struts... Every bump I take, I hear a clunk. Come to find out my top coil insulator is ripping apart and becoming metal to metal... At least I can put 1/2 top spacer and longer studs

 

LOL. When did you get back in?

 

Where u getting your spacer an bolts from?

 

Wheelers off road, I usually get the little things from them
