The Frankenstein Build! LT/Expo/Trail rig..and BS

hell i don't even check mine every 100 miles. more like once a year haha

Really the .75s will be easier as you won't have to pull studs and re install some. But either way works. Do which will fit your rig better.

Im still shocked you rub on the frame at all.

 

I'd only check them every 100 miles for the first 1500, give everything time to settle in.

My 265/70/16's rubbed a little, I'm not sure why, but when i pulled my front tires off to swap the others on to see if i'd have to lift or not i saw that the sticker on the frame had a real small rub spot on it.

 

When I had 265/75/16's with stock rims on my 96 it rubbed at full lock and barely rubbed the uca at full stuff.

 

Huh wow. Well i bet its not a huge deal. Long as your aware of it. Do the spacers when you can or maybe just get new rims

 

Spacers are $, rims are $$$$$$$$$$$$$$
plus i like the way stock looks on these trucks, if i got new wheels they'd be either SCS f-5's or the T/X/baja wheels.

 

Yea i know. Id still be rocking my old stockers too if they were 8'' wide. I liked them a lot with the old body color.

But don't mind my current ones. Will see how i like the new ones with the 35s.

 

Hey Monte, did you use rattle can bed liner on your front bumper? How'd that turn out? You think it looks better than just painted bumpers that you've seen at meets?

 

Yep. I use Duplicolor rattle can on all my armor stuff. so does my dad.

Holds up great.

Honestly, can't tell a huge difference between bed liner and paint from what i have seen. Only thing you can really tell a difference on is powder coated stuff is much nicer looking.

But i love the bed liner stuff. Holds up great, doesn't fade really and...can always repaint

the only way you can tell a big difference is texture. bed liner stuff has a bit of texture to it and paint doesn't really.

 

I used that stuff too monte on my bed rack and skids. Holding up really well and I like the finish. Duplicolor bed coating in the blue can

 

oh yea!

BLUE CAN!!

not the black can!! the black can stuff is SUUUPPERR globby and thick. Its for like rouch texture. Get the blue can stuff. Works awesome

 

holy shit! that's badass man!!

 

Ill assume you mean..the build?? haha

thanks!

 

Hey for your 240s, do you secure em with anything else aside from the main screw/nut that comes on the light?

I'm worried about theft here in the city

 

Nope. Just the nut and washer. Especially now it's a major PITA with the winch to get a wrench on them haha i also live in a very small town so theft isn't an issue with me. Not sure what you could do about that

 

35s are going to look huge on 15" wheels

 

Who needs LT when you can just air down a 35 on a 15" rim!!! haha

 

Pretty much gonna be awesome

Haha!! Bump stops not required haha

 

I'm not ready to see your truck on 35's. It's going to make me want to make the switch sooner! Haha

 

I am! I looks at the 33s and they look small gonna be awesome

 

I just have to keep telling myself no until I get 4:56's..... Haha
