Lembowski Greyhound LT BUILT RIGHT

That was my thoughts also. Especially after see Krish's bumper give and barely mess with the frame...

 

Yup, spot on reference.

 

Something is going to bend to displace the energy of a collision. The way it was explained to me its easier/cheaper to replace a bumper than dealing with a bent frame and the other components that a bent frame affects.

 

My bumper was DOM and the frame crumple zone crumpled as well as the main bumper tube bending inwards. I don't know how different it would be with mild steel but either way the frame shop was able to fix the crumple zone for a couple hundred bucks and it looks perfect now. Regardless, we cut it off since it has been heated up and weakened. I think you'll be fine either way Gabe, PM me if you wanna see pics of my frame before/after.

 

What speed was your "accident" at?

 

Around 45mph

 

The abrupt stop was spectacular, it was 45 to zero in about 4"

Typically there is a little cushion or give so some sort. Not the case

 

Ugh. What a night.

 

Nice build! Is your truck done from the conversion?

 

Yup, the conversion only took a little over a week.

 

Ok, so I made the decision to go with the SR8 wheels when they come out.

What is everyones suggestion on wheel color? I'm torn between the Gunmetal, Matte Bronze and Rootbeer. They don't have a picture for the Matte Bronze yet, but I envision a lighter rootbeer.

What would look better on Mag Grey?

 

Eh...Black is nice but everyone's got black wheels, it's like the new chrome.

 

It's gunmetal not black. From the current promo pictures it looks like its kinda close in color to my truck.

 

Here is a better picture:

 

I like the bigger spokes compared to the methods at least but would still change up the color, I think the bronze or root beer whenever you get a pic of that would look nice. Doesn't somebody photochop on here could put the wheels on and see?

 

Best I have seen, and they come with a better BS that will come in handy with 12.5" tires. I'm just not a fan of any of the new Method wheels and my 301's just don't do it for me anymore.

 

I hear you. I think I'm leaning towards the Rootbeer or Matte Bronze.

The photochops in that thread never look good enough for me to make up my mind. I know a good chop takes a lot of time, so I can't blame the guys lol

 

Yeah I remember when you did the bronze domed vinyl for a short while with the graphics and it looked sick

 

Whatcha gonna do with those methods..

 

Selling the 4 with the BFG AT 295/75-16's with 70% tread on them.
