    figured you just run with a spare 37" tire and just change on the trail if need be since you're able to mount and dismount your own tires. :thumbsup::thumbsup::rofl:

    I could, but it takes pretty long, and breaking the bead is tough.

    Was gonna say, you going get plenty help for change tire, get Miles, Ron, Neil, Mike, Rick, etc. :D But if it happens, probably be on a trail where none of our trucks would be able to go on anyway. So, I hear you on that one.

    Cut a little bit more off the rear of the fender...
    I doubt my tire will get that far in the fender, but really, is too much clearance a thing? :notsure:

    Big thanks to @Pelfreybilt and @Socalduckslayer for getting this thing out to me so quick! It's beef as fuck! And great looking welds as always. I'm gonna feel bad cutting it up a little :D

    And yeah, I'm gonna have to trim a little off the front ;)
    IMG_2512.jpg IMG_2513.jpg IMG_2511.jpg
    It's not all the way in either. Gotta trim the bottom of the fenders a bit more. 1/2" should be enough.

    Hopefully @Socalduckslayer approves of my chop job and welding :D
    I followed the fender line down to the bumper. It should have enough clearance.
    IMG_2519.jpg
    Chopped off! Had to reuse the plates.
    IMG_2524.jpg
    IMG_2535.jpg
    I think my welding is decent :oops:
    IMG_2525.jpg IMG_2527.jpg IMG_2526.jpg
    All smoothed out on the outer corners.
    IMG_2530.jpg IMG_2531.jpg
    I like the fit :)

    Of course dude, I've been quietly watching this thing and your attention to detail throughout the whole swap process has been amazing! I'm stoked to see pics and video of this thing in action when it's all buttoned up!

    Once I hook up the brake lines and power steering lines, she should be ready to fire up! Been sitting awhile tho, so I probably have to dump some octane booster and injector cleaner in the tank :rofl:

    Ethanol fuel might be separated in the tank. Maybe some ethanol stabilizer and fill the tank. The ethanol "sediment" will be at the very bottom of the tank where the fuel gets picked up. I had it happen to my damn lawn mower that I don't use for long periods of time. lol :rofl:
    There were crystals around the bottom of the tank where the gas gets sucked up into a little tube, I had to take it all apart and clear the crystals out. All this happened because I totally forgot/didn't use non ethanol like the instructions said. :anonymous:

    And this happened only after 2 months.
