The RAB Build

He shipped free? or your picking them up?

 

id like to see those 882's i went with the 3's and having second thoughts

 

I'll be going to Kamloops. Luckily I can get a ride there and back with a furniture delivery through my work. Need me to grab anything for you? Armstrong is a lot closer than Kamloops.

Also, I want to paint my stock wheels black, how did you do it?

 

I have family in Kamloops, so I've got an excuse, but thanks for the offer!

well I just did the street lock so I went nice and cheap. Rust-oleum flat black and some scotch brite pads. got the wheel wet, scrubbed the shiny surface off and then cleaned, dried and painted. but If i were doing a full set of wheels. sand paper rubbing alcohol a primer maybe an adhesion promoter then paint and clearcoat.

There are a ton of write ups on here though just search it

 

I've read a lot of write ups, always interested in how other guys did it. You did yours with the tire on? Playing cards around the rim? index cards?

 

actually I didn't tape off the tire, they are completely shot and will be replaced in a few weeks, so i didn't bother...

 

I like your rims better that way! They look great! Now get some black lugz from wheelers!!

 

Yea I guess I should do that

getting my 882's shortly!

 

Just ordered my 882's. will be here in about 2 weeks!

 

does that maglite mount work well? ive been wanting to mount on in my truck for awhile i just dont know how well the screws will hold in the plastic

 

works great! hold on tight!
The location works well too, both people up front can reach it easily when needed, and it's not in anyone's way

 

Nice on the 882s!
I am getting my 881s installed tomorrow morning.

 

nice! I'm excited! I'm also going to get the truck in the garage and borrow a vehicle from work for a bit while I build my new front bumper, install the coils on the shocks and build a leaf pack

 

Cool man keep us updated.

Your chick & truck are hot

 

haha thanks man!

 

Sweet pics man, looks like a fun trip. Truck looks great.

 

Did you get the 882s from bajanorth? I just priced up a $1000+ order from wheelers (awesome customer service) but the UPS shipping was going to be $690 to Canada! BAH! Jason there even looked around for other shipping options but they are all crazy expensive.
If I can get the in Canada maybe the shipping would be a bit more sensible.
