Concentric_Killers Already Built Long Travel Picture Extravaganza

So far they have been the best tires I have bought. I ran a set of BFG KM2's and I had a cupping issue even with consistant rotations. The Toyo Open country's are great. I haven't had any cupping issues and aren't too loud on the road. They also have taken a significant beating on the side walls and are still holding up!

I highly recommend.

 

Any troubles fitting them? I know they are a little taller than most 255s

 

No issues.
Well I have Long travel front and rear to thank for that!

 

Saw your truck at Lowes on Tuesday night. Thing looks wild.

 

What did you make them out of?

 

How much of a pita was swapping the uniballs? Im looking to swap mine while I am replacing the front suspension on mine, Ive heard of people using a ball joint press while on the truck to swap them

 

Its .090" ABS. its flexible enough to bend into place. No need to use a heat gun. I bought a 4'x8' piece for around $50 from a local plastics supplier.

 

I have the harbor Freight ball joint press (giant C-clamp essentially). I mounted the clamp on a pillar in my garage so I had a stable surface to work on. I also bought the Total Chaos uniball tool. Its just a piece of pipe with an end cap welded on. I suppose you could use a large socket to press against the uniball.

The hardest part surprisingly, was installing the new spring clips. I had to break down and buy a $30 pair of pliers after having the harbor freight ones break in my hands while under tension...

 

Sorry for the long reply. If you see me again just wave!

 

Update 9/1/2017

I decided to replace my bushings for the spring under kit and paint the frame from the cab back. It was a larger project than anticipated. I plan on painting the rear bumper at a later date.

 

Loving the build! Keep up the great work ​

 

Its ABS. I got a 4'x8' sheet for $50. I found a cheaper supplier here in Salt lake that offers it for $35. Its flexible enough that you don't need a heat gun to shape it.

 

Where in SLC did you find it?

 

Awesome truck and loving the red rock backdrop in the photos!

 

Regional Supply. My buddy just bought a 4'x8' sheet for $33 and I made him some Liners.

 

Nice, when I'm ready to make some I'll have to check there.

 

Awesome. Do you plan on running glass fenders or what? I saw that you plan on 35's. I am on the fence about running larger tires even though I have the gears for it.

 

I recently made some fender liners for a buddy that also has glass fenders. Here are the templates pre-install/ finish cutting/ sanding. I could get fancy and get these laser cut, but that wouldn't be fun!

 

I swear man these fender liners are going to make you a celebrity one day.

 

About a month ago, I finally bought some Traction Boards. I thought about maxtrax but I like the concept behind the Tred Pro's. I also could have used them when I got stuck in Idaho this summer. I made a quick mount so I can set them on the roof. The mount cost me all of $10. I might change some things, but so far it works.
