NYCO's '06 Boosted Blue Betty

I'm trying to decide whether to do 305s or 315's and I've heard that a lot of people rub with 315s even after a lot of cutting. What would you recommend?

 

the 34s i think are a great option for our trucks... look for the 17's in a 295 or 305 width, those are your typical 34s offered

i still had my cab mount chop, pinch weld beat back and some other hammered spots, but i didn't have to go too crazy...and no flaps of course

i ended up trimming the fenders so i can get full stuff, but i really only needed to trim back some up top, but i knew i'd eventually end up with 35s..

trimmed with 305/70/17


how much i ended up trimming


clearancing i had on the firewall



some pics before trimming the fender with the 305s....










so as you can see....you can still wheel pretty hard without trimming the fenders....but you will occasionally hit up top and need to clear the plastic and some metal behind

 

and for reference, those pro comp wheels had 4.5" BS

 

So in hindsight, would you have done a 1" body lift vs. all that chopping and beating? It would appear that with the exception of the cab mount chop you may be able to avoid the rest with a small body lift.

 

i still would not have...but maybe that's just me...

 

Bob, you going to be at the Colorado Jamboree again this year? Get your revenge on that first ledge of Grizzly lake...

 

oh fuck! that's this weekend!

i was hoping to but lost track of time...we'll see...won't be the whole time, but it would be nice to swing up maybe friday night if i can get my truck back together

 

little teaser from this weekend...logged 120+ miles of backcountry roads/trails exploring some new areas

can't wait for foliage season now after seeing some of these areas

 

Take me with

 

bugging out to Central-East UT this weekend after work Saturday coming back late Monday...destiny unbound

if anyone is interested in exploring some areas, shoot me a PM.

must be reliable vehicle as there's a good chance we'll be logging some miles in the backcountry far from main roads..

recovery gear is recommended as many of these areas are not well traveled

spare gas is likely needed

will be camping in primitive areas, so bring proper supplies

other option i'm exploring hits two of the harder trails in the san rafael swell, so stock setup would not be advised.

will be long days in the saddle with hiking and exploring around old mines a high possibility.

 

Go HAM!

 

you making ham sandwiches?

 

Haha na. Saying go hard as a mofo on your trip!

 

Sounds like a good time.

 

that's the plan...knock off some areas on the list and open up new areas to the knowledge base

 

really need to join you one of these days.

 

if you feel the need to explore UT/CO/AZ/NM/WY/ID let me know...not too far of a reach and always looking to explore new areas...the list in my head grows every day it seems

might be taking the truck to vegas for sema this year (not in the show)...most likely looking to hit a trail in the area at some point

 

If you go to Sema and want to do a harder more rock crawling trail, let me know.

 

last time i brought the truck we met up with a local club and ran wheeler pass and looped back through red rock...was a good time...had some optional lines that were fun

 

Wheelers pass is fun. Nothing crazy hard. Look up Rocky Gap Road (Potato Rock road). The main trail isn't to bad but there is a wash that is fun and actually kind of challenging to go through. Big boulders and actual rock crawling.
