$Alex's PLATINUM Truck Build$

ok, no more BS'ing in my build thread.

shew shew...

 

Just keep in the back of your mind, a 2wd with a locker and clearance can out wheel a 4wd without clearance.... Ask me how I know.

 

......how do you know bryan?

 

I love it!!
Oh and good start on the build. Keep it going.

 

Man I remeber the days where I used to hang out in golden builds what was I thinking?

 

You weren't wanted in the golden builds

 

post pics of what u trimmed on ur bumper

 

also, whats ur mpg like now? im getting 33"s in decembeerrrr

 

in all honesty I havent seen that much of a change. It might be cause i only went up 2 more inches but the wider tires are a plus, they hug the turns real well and my shifting changed too for the better. For some reason my truck rides smoother and isnt as jerky between shifts

I did feel a little decrease in power though but not to much to bother me and Im very anal (no homo) about those kind of things. Once i install my K&N and magnaflow it will hopefully compensate for lost power....

Are you going to get a front replacement bumper??? because 33's are going to be extremely tight. I test fitted them, and it can be done but i dont recommend it. even the back side of the wheel well I would have had to start cutting corners on my actual fender....

 

This is the rear part of the wheel well. See the part circled in red? this will stick out about an inch once you remove the black box just grab a small hammer and bend it back. It wont hurt anything its just a small piece of metal with really hard sealant on it. Just make sure you dont hit the actual fender weld behind it....



This is the front of the wheel well. The blue area is outlined where my splash guard use to be before i removed it to give more clearance in the front. But when you do this you HAVE TO zip tie the remainder splash guard (red area) to something so the wind doesn't blow it into your tire and rip up your splash guard.

hope this helps...

 

now post the truck befo i murda you... it looks like they fucked up your powdercoating when they put the wheel on????

 

once again..... its lube. They use it to slip the rim into the tire
PIC UPDATE CHECK 1st PAGE

 

.....or I could just not help you? and you gtfo...
