    Just another update

    I placed another order with Pelfreybilt for a rear bumper w/ swing out and Rotopax mount, Battery cage, and Aux fuse panel

    I finally got about to mounting all the goodies on the roof rack with Chux's insight, all I needed was that one picture. But its nice to have a place for rotopax, tree's, and all my recovery gear and tools in the hard shell case.

    Also installed a CB radio tonight, Uniden 510XL fits in the console notch just right.

    Tomorrow should be a warmer day so Ill grab some pictures after a wash.

    Also leaving for AZ monday for a month and of course Ill be stopping in CO and UT for a couple of days so expect some more pictures

    Are your sliders welded or bolted to the frame? If so, what protection against corrosion did you used?

    Since I am living in Canada, I am a lot worried about salt and corrosion during our lovely winter.

    Thanks,

    Welded, honestly if I was willing to deal with drilling holes I would have bolted so I could re coat after winter. rattle can doesn't quite protect against rocks and gravel, But they are sliders meant to do a job and looking pretty isn't one of them.


    And a picture where Ive been hanging out on the weekdays after class.

    How do you like the wheel tire combo as far as rubbing and spacing goes. I have a set of 285's I am thinking about getting some wheels for and Stealths are at the top of the list. I have been spoiled with my 255's and haven't had any rubbing at all. From what i read the 285's are different.

    Dooo it! (SCS wheels that is) I'm partial on 255 vs 285 it came down to price and availability to me (chances are you'll find a 285 before a 255 if your in a pinch) but I love the look of 255s.

    As far as rubbing goes my coilers are set pretty low so I get some rubbing in most turn+bump situations and big dips. Around the parking lots ill rub here and there depending on the difficulty of the parking spot =P But after I raise it up some more I don't expect to have anymore rubbing. Once I head home at the end of the month ill probably do my UCAs and raise it up while I'm at it

    Little late on the reply, but yes. I only rubbed at full lock but I wanted to be able to have full lock and stuff and still not rub, the body mount at least

    Update: changed my pelfrey bumper order to a HC, and Should have a set of 35s waiting for me when I get home.
