    haha truth! c o u n t e r s t e e r ...lol I do like the sharp corner the six shooter makes at the rim edge vs the countersteer swoop look. I wanted 16s tho, that's why I went with the counters.

    I will go take a look & snag a picture.


    Thanks! A guy my dad went to Highschool with owns a body shop. I didn't actually trust myself to do the cuts, so I had him do it. He took 2" off all 4 corners.

    If you go to this thread most of the links on the OP link directly or around where they took pictures. Lagdog's pictures were the ones I used to show the guys what I needed done.

    Hey man, saw you asking Chris (deadhead) about expo leafs. I thought i'd leave my .02 cents here. I've had mine for quite a while now. I am getting my current set warrantied out due to them sitting flat even without my camping load on. I think it's a quality control issue giving me grief with my set. When I'm fully loaded for a trip i'm roughly 500 lbs over stock weight in the rear. Which the expos are meant to carry... Anyways keep an eye on how the new set goes for me before you jump on em. I have strongly considered going to a dakar pack with the d29 aal added.

    Thanks for looking out! I find myself leaning that was as well sometimes. I don't see too many people complain about Darkar (besides being squeaky). I have seen plenty of people with issues because of all pros.

    Keep me posted on how the new springs go. When do you get the new ones?

    Last time I went wheeling. Still on 285's going up the "double step". I was intimidated by before, but definitely didn't need to be.

    Hey Peter did you re-gear with the 35s? I wasn't sure if you did. Thinking down the road this is the way I wanna roll.

    Saw your channel looking at some of the RIGID LEDs - Really surprised there are not many installs of them on there. PICS and such. :endrant:

    Nice build

    If he didn't already he's gonna want to soon. 3.73's and 35's bring the suck.


    So...ordered that rear pelfreybuilt huh ;) (stalking other threads :D)

    That was with the 285's and stock quarter panel and bedsides. The flares were not on though.


    Not yet. I definitely will be re gearing to 4.56 as soon as financially possible.

    Thanks! Yeah I did those videos of what I got, and how well they work. When I get a roof rack and put more lights on I might try and get a video of the install so I can post it up.

    Stalker!!! haha Yeah I ordered it two days ago. It should be ready in about 12 weeks.

    I know its a small operation, but that's a hell of a lead time. Nice product though, but way to long a wait IMO. I could never wait that long for anything. You have much more patience than I.


    And I am kinda a TW whore, I get around to lots of threads, so not neccesarily stalking lol. :D


    Trucks looking good. 4.56's are perfect with 35's, and even better with 37's :spy:

    I'm sure you've answered this but how much did you cut from the front & rear fenders to stuff the 35s? What did you use to cut them?
