RubyOverland's 2016 Off-Road 4x4 Build - SOLD

Thank you! It's funny, my first major project was installing my light bar behind the grill and it stressed me out big time. Last night, I installed my ditch lights and it was all done in a matter of minutes and I wasn't once worried. I've learned so much and I have gain so much confidence. It's been an amazing experience for me. I'm glad you like the way the truck is coming along and I look forward to sharing it's transformation with you.

 

My boyfriend surprised me with a new patch for my truck! I love how he supports my hobby and obsession.

 

you're going to lose a lot of thread followers since you mentioned "boyfriend"

 

Haha. Whatever.

 

lol I'm just picking at you! sweet patch though

 

I thought so! I love it.

 

my collection has grown...trying to avoid it like the plague lol

 

So, do you work on your boyfriends truck?

​

 

Haha, he wishes! He has a '99 Dodge Ram that could use some TLC

 

Hey I was curious... after the alignment you said you didn't have any rubbing except for a little in reverse. When you went off-roading, how bad was it? I'm planning on doing your exact set up, and it looks like you fully flexed your suspension in those pics... thanks for your input, I really appreciate it!

 

When I went off-roading the last two weekends I have had the wheels stuffed in the wheel well and there was no rubbing that I could hear. I heard rubbing once or twice moving very slow and the wheel locked with a little articulation, but it was isolated and not consistent so I'm not sure why it did in those cases. And currently, as an update, I still only have very minor rubbing on plastic in reverse. I think trimming the inner fender would alleviate that. I hope that helps, let me know if you have any more questions.

 

Awesome!! I too want to avoid a CMC! Now I just have to wait for the Black Friday deals to pull the trigger. Thanks for your help, I love your build!

 

Sorry one more question hahaha, did you need to extended the front or rear break lines?

 

Nope. Didn't touch them.
Oh and by the way, a spare 255/85 won't fit under the truck, in case you were gonna try that.

 

I appreciate that and I'm happy to help!

 

Is the hitch in the way or?

 

There is a bracket in the way on the drivers side and the exhaust on the passengers side. It needs about 2" in order to clear. A less aggressive tread may have better luck. I know 265/75s have been fitting.

 

Dang hahaha, that was totally my plan lol. Oh well...

 

So you are the sugar mama

 

Haha, he technically makes more than me but I'm okay being a sugar mama.
