    Been trying to stay occupied the past few days. I cut my fenders and flares back.

    E3A4610E-927F-4503-9F1F-A7389F04F43F.jpg

    Next time I need tires I'll go up to 17" rims to fit tundy brakes and 35" STT Pro's.

    Then I sprayed in some rubber and flex seal since I won't be using the liners.

    And I got rid of my hood skewp and replaced it with a hood scoop.

    I cut out the plastic backing, sanded the shit out of it, and sprayed it satin black. I'll see if I can't spray the whole hood in the next few days.

    Coming up quickly is tearing the crawl box apart to seal it properly. Here's how much it dropped in a half hour.

    Super excited about doing that...

    They're a lot of rolling mass. If you've got 17's the Tundra brake conversion is pretty simple. Discs all around and larger calipers.

    That's what me recommending a 17" conversion for most people. It allows the break upgrades.

    Sadly, I'm still on 16s

    Yep, same here. I really need to get started on the crawl box but I think I'm going to put it off until Monday. Not sure what I'm going to do today, hopefully some parts come in for me to work with. Maybe I'll paint the hood...
