My Build Thread v3.0

Thank you - I guess my question wasn't as clear as i'd hoped....... what is the distance from the tire to the bottom of the fender well, at the front and back of the tire well, where ever it is closest to the tire.... less of a vertical measurement and more of a semi-horizontal measurement.

I am trying to judge how much to trim off in those (bottom of the wheel well) locations. I wasn't too concerned with the top of the wheel well (full stuff of wheel in well) but mostly concerned with the turning radius of the tire when stuffed... does that make more sense?

Is that a Rhino spray on liner inside your wheel wells?

 

Just paint. Maybe a little overspray from the linex.

 

I wanna say I trimmed 2inches all the way around on the front and 2.5-2.75 in the back. Both were more than I needed.

 

Got a new shift knob for the TCase today. Gotta repaint the white letters better than what I have and tried to do. But it’s better than the stock fj case knob I had

 

Got it, thanks again.... I'm debating the need to trim off any at all around the tops of the wells....

 

If you are going 35s, pretty sure some will have to come off.

 

I ended up going 305/65/17 on 17x9s so more like 32 33ish

 

Should be fine. Besides plastic shouldn’t need to trim anything.

 

Some has to go....

 

Yeah plastic is a given. But the metal shouldn’t have to or bare minimum

 

This is exactly what I've been looking for. A skinny 35.. thank you!

How you liking them? I was sold on some 285/75/17s.. like a Yokohama geolander mt.. because I didn't want to go 12.5 wide with a 35.

But this is perfect!

 

Have no complaints with them. Got all 4 for less than $900. On road they are good. Haven’t gone wheeling with them but people that have said they are pretty good

 

New almost matching crawl box shifter knob. Need to paint the white like I did the tcase knob

 

Starting to build a thing. Going to put a sleep platform in the back. Made the bars out of 1” square tube .120 wall. Going to put 3/4” plywood on top next weekend.

 

what’s going on top, bunkie board and air mattress?

 

probably getting one of these for the top.

Got a bed rug installed. Still working on the platform. The thickness of the bedrug has thrown off the holes I’ve drilled for the pass side. Drivers hasn’t gone in yet to be drilled so just have to trim that side and drill the holes.

 

I think I mightve asked you this in the radiant red thread but howd you prep the area that was being covered and outline it? Or did you take it to a shop. Love this truck btw

 

u talking about the black part? I just took it to Linex and told them what i wanted sprayed.

i dont do paint very well and rather have someone mess with all that

 

Right on, I'm waiting to trim my fenders and was thinking about doing some raptor liner around where the old flares used to be but not sure if I'm willing to put that much trust in myself
