Think you could take a side profile pic of the bumper in the sun? Want to see how far it sticks out.

 

I'm hitting a trail or two tomorrow so I'll try to take a few pictures while I'm out there

 

forgot to take a pic without the hood up so I'll post another tomorrow if you want

 

Perfect, love it man. Hopefully I can talk them into making one

 

Lots of work has gone into the truck over the last couple of days. 35s mounted, cab mount chopped, and snorkel installed.

 

you're cutting all sorts of shit lol bumper looks dope

 

Thanks! Haha yeah after the bumper it was a lot less painful to cut the fender, cab mount, and soon to be cutting the fenders and flares to clearance the tires at full stuff

 

cant wait to see that cutting done. I am going to make the switch to 35s.. because fuck it.

 

Whoops did that weeks ago and forgot to post it up. I'll dig for pics after work tonight. Cut the fender at the body line a couple inches up and trimmed the bottom of the flare off so it looks stock but has much more room for activities

 

let's see it!!

 

Sorry for the delay, and the lack of good pictures but here it is! in this pic ^ you can see how I just trimmed the bottom off of the flaresmight be hard to see the fender lines because of the lighting, but here's a current side shot of the truck. Sitting at about 1 inch of lift in the front and probably about 2 in the rear (only rear measurements I've taken were with my rack, tent, and tools back there and it was 0.5" of lift). there was about an inch or two more of up travel in this pic, the tires stuff really well in the front. Not so much in the rear due to my massive wheelers superbumps, but Im not going to mess with that until I redo my rear suspension


P.s. the fender flares are partially held on my zip ties. The clips broke when I took them off and I didn't have any extras of the square ones so I left it without them thinking it would be ok. After losing a flare at 55mph and having to run across the hwy to get it, I added zip ties in the place of the larger clips and have had no issues

 

i absolutely love this. but what about dirt, mud, debris going up in there? I live in Alaska currently and that stuff is no bueno going up in there broo.. I am considering the Fend-X liners for this..

 

The main thing I did to address this is get the snorkel. That way all that crap isn't getting in my intake. But besides that, I used some rubber undercoating on the pinch weld after flattening it and the cab mount after chopping it. Then I sprayed some black paint on the top of the wheel wells to see where I still rub. Heres some pics the white and bare metal areas are the spots I rub

 

Do 35s fit with no mods???????







The truck is even more badass than the pics make it out to be

 

35s will not fit good without mods.

 

Haha thank you, whenever someone asks how to fit 35s the best response is "a grinder wheel and a sledge hammer"

 

Some time in the next few weeks I will be building a custom high clearance rear bumper for my truck. It will be constructed of 3/16th steel plate with 1/4 inch for the mounts. I plan to take some aspects of designs that I like currently offered by companies such as relentless fab and cbi. If anyone has done this before and has any advice, or has a high clearance bumper and can send me some pictures of the mounts and steel work behind the plate, that would be greatly appreciated.

In the mean time, enjoy some pictures from my recent wheeling trips

 

I'm subscribbing! nice truck

 

Thank you!

 

Bedsides have been cut. I am going to Moab for Rock Therapy on Friday, so I need something to protect the tailgate and bedsides. I'll be building a high clearance tube bumper tonight, and throwing it on for the trip, and building the plate bumper when I get back.
