Great White Taco build

Yes I cut the hoop off. That black box has to do with ventilation/air pressure in the cab. I stuffed some foam in there. If you dont, the cab will be very noisy. Louder than normal

 

Ok thanks.

 

Are you going to be putting sound deadening on the back?

 

Yes it should be here Monday. Local stores don't stock it. Just getting it ready and seeing what goes n what can stay.

 

What did you use for edging on your fenders after cutting for your high clearance?

 

This is what i used and works really well. 5’ was plenty.

I used this, but im sure the one Randy posted would work too. I still have some leftover

I kept mine bare Turin.

My theory was that the edging would retain moisture and increase the possibility of rusting at the edge, even tho I did my best to paint the raw/cut edges. The edges still look good after two winters.

 

Thanks. I hadn't thought about water getting in there @Subway4X4 .

 

trim like that is a huge reason older hondas rust at the top of the rear fender well. ymmv

 

Fill it with clear silicone then install it. I like the look of the fender with and without the trim though. I did use it on mine.

 

Getting some metal for a project today

 

She loves this place..

 

Metal place had the wrong inventory of 14ga square tubing, so they upgraded me to 11ga for free!

 

What kind of mpg you getting with the 35s and SC?

 

200 miles to a tank is a good day. 13-14? Im not exactly sure

 

Man, same here. I calculated my last tank and was sitting at 12.5 mpg

 

You guys figuring up the mileage difference with the bigger tires?

 

14 is about as good as I get now. I was getting 12 before the regear.

 

You guys have a 21 gallon tank I think right? That would be closer to 9 mpg are you regeared? assuming the mileage difference has been calculated with bigger tires that is

MPGs aside that's one badass truck you have I'm getting about 14mpg on my supercharged 04 but I'm still on 32s
