    Yep.
    I have a tear in my f/l that greatly resembles this. Plus a 4" slice on the f/r tire

    i think i'm gonna start this weekend.

    luckily due to the construction of the treadwrights, i've already clearance for a tire that's just shy of a 34''. so with about an inch increase in tire diamiter, that means i only have to clearance for an extra half inch of tire. hard to tell, but the width shouldn't affect me too much, except for when i rub the frame near the LCA mount. regardless, it's not going to be an easy task. fingers crossed it goes smoother than some of my other projects

    Mine went pretty easy....you would be surprised how bad the width will create problems(that's what she said lol). When stuffed and turned, they will hit all kinds of shit...:rolleyes:

    i'm worried more about the cab mount. i can hammer away at the firewall/inner fender, but you can only cut the cab mount back so far. and without my welder here, i'd have to bring it to a shop to get it re-plated :(

    Well if you happen to have an extra treadwright when you are done I would gladly take it off your hands when you swing back through Florida.

    Current plan is to throw the remaining 3 on the trailer, but plans change. You'll be the first to know.

    I figured that was the plan, but it also never hurts to ask.

    You know of anyone on here running the snorkel and SC? Just wondering if I'll gain mpg's like the naturally aspirated guys since my IAT is usually ambient + 5-7 degrees as it is.

    I think there's one or two on here with thte combination snorkel/SC, but i can't recall their names off of the top of my head.

    However, i'm not sure if anyone is seeing noticable MPG increases from the snorkel. it would be nice though.
