Blue Overland Build

looks good!

Was that at the pines?

 

I wanna shacke flip too but not ready to upgrade my rear shock, they're not even a year old.

 

Thanks man! Yeah all those pictures are in the pines around here

Yeah man i gotcha i wouldn't either especially brand new lo

 

I had a couple of questions about your truck, which looks great by the way! I've been thinking about upgrading my wheels and tires. I want to go with the trail grappler like yours, 285 75 16 and konig countersteer. Are your wheels 16 x 8 with the 0 offset? If so I'm pretty sure that's the same specs which would be nice. Second, are you running any wheel spacers or is that stance due to the width of the tires or a different back space or offset.
Also great find on the top, looks good!

 

One more question, how much of a pain was is to get you flares on and off. Been wanting to repaint mine but not sure if it's worth the effort

 

Thanks dude, the topper took me a good 2 years to find haha! Yeah the specs are the same for the wheels and I haven't any any problems at all with fitment. Im not running any wheel spacers the stance is just from the wheels. They have 4.5 inch backspacing which is what makes the stance look the way it does.. Hope this helps you out

 

how you like those trail graps man?

 

Overall they are pretty good… My next tire are probably gonna be MTR's. These tires perform great off road, but have worn very fast on the road. If you do get these just make sure you rotate a lot to get the most life from them

 

I heard that. I just like the look of them a lot and when I need to go off-road I know they will work good

 

Yeah thats the only thing Im disappointed about hopefully i can get a little more life though before i change tires.. Other then that they're good though

 

Sorry man i didn't see this until now.. Taking the fenders off are pretty simple and straight up.. It may be worth the money to go on ebay or something and buy some more plastic clips that are underneath. They're pretty cheap to buy

 

i just ordered 285 trail graps!

 

Nice! Hope you like em!

 

Hey Dude! Wheeled the pines tonite, didn't think about ya till I'm home on TW. Gota get your number.

 

Looks like a sick time!.. I'll PM you my number for next time

 

Tailgate antenna mount from BAMF should be here this week.. After that i can finally get this CB installed.. until then I'll just have to

 

My BAMF tailgate antenna mount came in today so I finished my CB setup

The Setup:
Undien Pro 520XL
18' wire
4' black FireStik
CB "L" adapter for coax wire
BAMF tailgate antenna mount
Walmart accessory plug to power it

Basically, I like everything to look clean and "stock" so i decided to dremel out the little coin slot and fit it nice in there. In this spot, I'm able to hide all of the wires and it looks really clean and nice. I also bought the "L" adapter for the wire which allowed me to push the CB down pretty far.



This is how much it sticks out


Drilled 2 little holes to mount the mic


This powers it and is the only visible wire



BAMF tailgate mount




The Firestik



Im really happy with everything and it was pretty inexpensive for it all.. probably around $100 for it all so I'd say its a pretty good deal

 

Looks good, but why don't you use an add-a-fuse and hardwire it to the fuseblock that is inside the cab?

 

Thanks dude... I actually didn't even think of that. If the plug ever craps out ill go that route. I don't smoke or anything so the cig lighter is never used so for now it'll be fine

 

Love where you mounted your cb box in the console...nicely done. may move mine
