02 Double Cab Build

dayum! and i though my truck was wide...

looks good man. gonna paint the bumper pink right? haha

 

pink like a boss

 

looks like your rims and tires add to the track width?

 

Not sure what ya mean by that?

 

wide rims with low backspacing?

 

Looking good man! Liking the bumper! My bumper should be done early next week dbl cab 1st gen FTMFW

 

ya i noticed this in the "before long travel" pics, his stance was already really wide for stock LCA's but now its insane!! does that thing even fit in its own lane! haha

 

Ohh haha sorry threw me off when ya said tires for some reason. They are actually stock backspacing on a 7 inch rim if I went any less I wouldn't clear the spindle cuz of the 33 12.5s

You guys are funny with your observations haha. Had spacers in the "before long travel" pics. No problems fitting in lanes or anything. Still fits through all the drive-throughs without scrubbing curbs haha. It may be wide but 87" is about the same or narrower then most of my friends rangers and full size trucks that are built.

 

Painted it up

 

RAD

 

nice build dude that thing looks good

 

This things badass, you lucky bastard haha

 

Finally mounted my license plate on hinges instead of using new zipties every time I tow. Funny how it took over a year and a half to do and it only took 15 minutes and 20 bucks materials including the new led lights.

 

You planning on getting bedsides anytime soon? if not, you should pull your bedsides. Makes it lookm really good and helps a little bit with rubbing issues.

I thought about pulling them but I wouldn't be able to get much flair out of them because of the way the short bed is with the wheel so close to the cab. Plus the rubbing happens at the bottom of the fender so pulling them wouldn't do me any good clearance wise. I'm saving money for bedsides but I still have yet to find who makes the ones I want. Sucks I have to buy new also cuz they do not get resold very often. These are the fenders I want to get...I asked to see if anyone knew who makes them before but still have not found them on any of the fiberglass company websites or anything.

 

^^^ i think i remember the owner of that truck saying there were McNeil 6" bedsides that he cut and and re-glassed together to fit the double cab

My question is how the fuck do you not get hassled by the Brea and Anaheim pd? I've been stopped twice and my wheels barely stick out of my front fenders and you have half a tire sticking out!

 

I believe those are the mcniel 6 in flair

Edit: damn you Matt lol

 

Haha well I have been stopped a few times but they normally mentioned the fact that I had no front bumper and license plate but since I got that all done along with the rear lights I haven't been stopped. Plus a good number of cops that recognize me now don't hassle me anymore. Brea pd sucks though they have searched the truck twice and found nothing. Anxious to see how the sheriffs are going to be.
