New England B.S. Thread

I'm running 255/80/17. No rubbing. Then I got a bumper and I'm rubbing on my body mount

 

Yes you have them . And you have the plastic skid that comes on the offroad model .

I got it on Amazon . I bought two . They were pretty cheap iirc .

 

alright, so TireRack is closed until tomorrow at 8am so you've got until 8am to convince me to go with either a 265/65/17 or a 265/70/17. I'm sticking with the General Grabber AT2s.

 

I want to do mine flush, so basically a flat piece of mesh. Havent even bothered to look to see what ideas I get about affixing it.

 

live right now 28 inches of food omg, normal pizza on side

 

I dropped the sway out when I put in the spacers last week. 886s without the sway just make driving a little more interesting, but it's not like the truck is rolling all over the place like a dingy in 20' surf.

 

I epoxied some bolts the back side of the grill , drilled hole in mesh and used a washer and nut . Oh and I cut the heads off of the bolts . Small machine screws not big bolts .

 

alright, just emailed TireRack. Saved $100 and went with the 265/70/R17s

 

well the rears don't have a height setting, I know there is two types of 5100s for the rear, and the ones for 0-2" of lift might be a little short and limit the droop, im not sure tho, I don't know to much about the billys

nice, good to know. well I know about the skid plate

265/65/17n is stock size and would probably look to small with the amount of lift you will have. 265/70/17 is close to 32" and will look good with that lift, you shouldn't have any rubbing. if you do it will just be on the mudflaps. I run 285/70/17 which is almost a 33" tire and basically the same amount of lift you will have

if you want flush mount, ease of install, high quality, and don't mind spending a good chunk of change get a grillcraft insert, they are really nice looking. that's what I have but I satoshied it instead of flush mount

 

Then the carwash ate it. Mines all fucked up now too from the big roller

 

i am running 265/75/16's

 

Me soon 33x12.5-15 don't you love true sizes

 

Evan it was cheaper when I bought it .

3003 Aluminum Perforated Sheet, Unpolished (Mill) Finish, Staggered Round Holes, 0.032" Thickness, 20 Gauge, 36" Width, 40" Length, 0.1093" Center to Center

how do you think the 4cyl is ganna like pushing those monsters?

 

Don't take it personally, Mike's been angry lately.

 

I see everybody with LED light bars now, and they all look the same. They all come the same place. Who ever sells it just stamps their name on it...

 

yea, i would love to run 33's, but not practical for a 40 mile one-way commute i guess...

 

well it would look awful strange...

 

Shit I want 35's . But I swap to the little guys during the week .

 

The Icon LCA skids were tit to install
