Millsy's Simple & Effective Build

Did you need the spacers to run the pacer wheels? I’ve been looking at a set in the 17” flavor so I wanted to ask someone with experience with them before I pulled the trigger

 

I don't need spacers, but run the Bora .75" to fill out the wheel well. My Pacers are 4.5" backspacing with 0 Offset. I ran them for around 2 years without the spacers and never had an issue of the tires rubbing the UCA.

 

Do you know what lug nuts you used for the wheels and if you used rings around the hub? It’s only like 2mm of play so I’m not sure if I should bother or not.

 

The lug nuts are extended thread, unfortunately I don't have a product number as they were sent with the wheels when I ordered them. I haven't used any hub rings with these.

 

Thanks for all your help, I test fit the wheels I bought and there was a bit of play so I went ahead and ordered Gorilla's extended thread lug nuts and some cheap hub rings for my own peace of mind.

 

Time to update!

Finalized my on board water pump system. The quick connect left of the pump is the output, and the right quick connect is for an outside water source (i.e. Jerry Can) that is attached to a selectable T-valve that also connects the solar shower.




Modified my OBA by adding a pressure switch and adding a small manifold with a relief valve.






I found an ARB recovery bag on sale and moved all my gear from the bed box to the bag. It sits behind the driver seat perfectly for quick access.






I have also replaced brake lines with Crown Steel Braided Extended Lines on all four corners.






I bought a single 4" Rise 4x Innovations bed bar to mount my chase lights to which elevates them above any gear I have in the bed.




For some bigger modifications, I installed a Cali-Raised skid plate, capped the frame ends with plastic plugs, and installed a US Offroad winch bumper that pairs nicely with the skid plate. Bought and installed a pair of Diode Dynamics SSC2 white combos for the bumper.










And mostly recently I cut new engine splash guards and wrapped the B pillars in satin black.









One of these days I'll get around to installing the rear shock relocation I have on the work bench in the garage. Plus swap out the front coils with the King 650s I also have.

 

Swapped out the Eibach coil-over springs for a set of 14" 650lb Kings.








Got around to installing some BAMF bumper reinforcements. Had to make use of my angle grinder for clearing the US Offroad bumper.






Installed a pair of 12v outlets in the driver side bed cubby so I can relocate the fridge to the bed. Also bought an insulated cover for the fridge.






And decided to give wrapping the tail lights a shot, to eliminate the chrome. Used a 3M Red Tint, then cut out the turn signal and reverse lights.
