Thoughts on 37s

No kidding! But chase is a pretty cool guy and they do top notch work.

 

Good to hear. Been meaning to ask if anyone's had work done at ECGS and what their experience was.

 

They are my go to for anything drive train related

 

Cool, imagine they won't have a problem doing some sheet metal work to get these 37's to fit then

 

It's really not that hard, just time consuming

 

So you don't know if they do good body work .....

 

Nope, that's why I'm interested in seeing how it turns out

 

Didn't know they would do it

 

They said they'd do it. I've got to head up there after the holidays and meet with Curtis. If they decide they can't do it then SOS is the next stop. (1hr vs 3 1/2hr drive)

 

I didn't either. But his comments made me assume he was saying they do top notch work on drivetrains and body work, although I knew he didn't mean that.

I'm with you. It's not a hard job especially if you have a shop that only works on vehicles all day but as we said, I didn't know they even did that stuff. I'm sure they wouldn't offer to do it if they didn't think they could handle it competently

 

Just a reminder how my truck looked before 3" lift and 37's

 

I'm only on 33's but I love when I see the stock version of my truck and pull up next to it for a picture.

 

Yup... I don't have many pictures of it stock, this one was just like mine minus Prerunner vs 4x4 but same height, same grille.. we ge used to our trucks and almost seems normal till we see a stock one we remember. I met with a guy past weekend that picked up my Icon MT and met him with my Scion, I thought his truck was taller than my truck siting on 33's and later met him with my truck to realize mine was a little taller.

 

I'm on about 7" of lift and 33's and I get so use to it that it seems small to me. Then I pull up next to a stock truck and realize how big mine is.

 

I've been going through this thread checking out all the tubbing. Nice work!

I really need to do that to my truck just to clear my 35's. I can't even imagine 37's or larger. But I don't have the guts to do it myself. Haha!

Are there shops that can do this? What are you all doing with the electrical on the inside?

 

What tubbing? Only 1 truck I've seen that's tubbed the front.

 

In this thread? I think there are at least 2.

 

I hope this doesn't come across as me being a dick but do you know how to tub a fender well? It's not just cutting out a 8" section

 

You don't come off as a dick, but you should read my post again. I have a feeling you're adding too many assumptions, so to clarify, I would like to tub my firewall to clear my 35" tires. I know they aren't 37's as the post is intended for, but there is not that much information about tubbing in the 35" thread. I know that the cab mount should be relocated, metal should be cut, pro-cautions should be taken when welding so fires don't consume the truck, and everything should be properly sealed after the fact.

When I posted "I don't have the guts to do it myself", I meant, "I probably don't want to take this on myself and leave it to someone who has or is experienced enough to take it on."

My last question from my post, "What are you all doing with the electrical on the inside?" was in reference to this photo:

You can see that there are clips on the blue harness guide that went into the firewall. Is the harness just left there after tubbing? Does it rattle? Is there additional reinforcement?

I hope that clears things up.

 

I didn't do any additional reinforcement, I just left it like it was and it doesn't rattle or make any noises
