Yoat Goat · « **Reply #123 on:** Apr 26, 2008, 10:59:02 PM »

I think they are some Mickey Thompsons, something like the MTZ's or whatever.

Loving the build! I think you should have the stinger go to your hood line. My 0.02 cents.

I work for schwab too. Where are you from?

rcbro · « **Reply #130 on:** Apr 28, 2008, 10:02:10 PM »

In Oregon. Work for Sublimity. Not sure if you can see but he's only got two on and the rear isn't complete lol. I've seen them personally ran on a jeep and they did well.

shot one side with paint and the dark primer showed through. So I decided to re hit it with a light primer so I can shoot it again later this week. Sunny today so I moved it out for a pic

IS that GOOD?

rcbro · « **Reply #133 on:** Apr 29, 2008, 10:16:03 AM »

yeah it is pretty straight but not completely! lol, going to add a tool box in back so it sits a little more back. Just to lazy to cut the stuff of and reset it just for a few more degrees.

Well converted the blinkers to my side marker lights. little bit of dremel action and 5 min epoxy did the trick

if you just unplug the turn signal and unplug the marker light. you can simply plug the turn signal plug into the corner marker light thats what i did on mine..they are the same plug .. but then maybe you wanted a marker light too.

rcbro · « **Reply #137 on:** May 08, 2008, 10:50:34 PM »

want my cool guy lights (AKA marker lights too) my buddy of mine got a nice ticket for not having his on his truck. Figured i'd just save myself some hassle of fighting a ticket.

Painted the truck tonight. Will wet sand and polish tomorrow and I can finally drive it again!

rcbro · « **Reply #138 on:** May 12, 2008, 11:15:44 PM »

Well got it painted. The body work itself turned out great. The new paint doesn't match 100% but you can't tell unless you really look so i'm saying screw it. ITs a wheeler, it'll only look so nice. If it still bothers me I'll re paint it lol.

Truck itself I think look ALOT better. Light as heck though!

I gotta ask

THK Matt · « **Reply #145 on:** May 15, 2008, 01:03:01 PM »

i have no clue why... the bed reminds me of a old bronco tub.

looks nice

Yoat Goat · « **Reply #146 on:** May 15, 2008, 09:42:08 PM »

How much did you take out? Looks good. You need bigger tires.

rcbro · « **Reply #147 on:** May 20, 2008, 08:34:40 PM »

I agree I need 35"s but I also need real springs, lockers, and gears... So I'd like to save up and do it all at once. I can still go everywhere with this truck so 35"s are more of a want then a need at the moment.
Get paid soon so should have my sliders on soon.

I took 10" out of the bed.

rcbro · « **Reply #148 on:** May 28, 2008, 04:54:56 PM »

Well I got my tool box but haven't installed it last night.

I went and wheeled it last night in the mountains and managed to break the transfer case in half lmao.. I'll get pics and info soon.. Told you I wheel it lol
