So I know it looks wide but how wide is it exactly? My rig looks wide cause the body is so narow, but its about 80in wide.

Ok, I got some measurements. The front is 92 and the rear is 88. I really need SRW hubs

Thanks, i've been looking forward to it

It's going to be hard to be away from my wife and kids, but it will pay off in the long run. I hope to be able to save enouph money to start a fab shop when I get back. I already have a mill, lathe, mig and stick welders along with various other tools, but there's still alot more that I need.

It fits on my trailer, just barely

I had to build some heavier fenders for it so I could drive over them.

My wheels have 5 inches of backspacing. I just need SRW hubs and lose the 2 inch spacers on the rear. As soon as I find some cheap enouph, they'll get changed out.

I wouldnt take the spacers off the rear since your wider up front. It cool wide!! You dont have to worry about tippin sideways! How much narrower will the new hubs make it?

They should narrow it by 8 inches.

Wow 8 in is a big differance, that sounds about perfect, wide enough but not too wide!

It will look awesome especially when the hubs are switched, but low and wide are the keys to a solid stable wheelin rig!

Most likely since he is running 39.5x16.50 pitbulls....that is a lot of rubber to clear...

With that much chopping, I have about an inch of room on each side of the tires on the back. the front clears by a mile

I didn't really need to go that much, but this way I got rid of my fuel door and some rust that was around the wheel wells. It'll be getting a tube bed before long anyway. I just didn't have the cash for that right now.

I have definatelly been lacking the motivation, but now that I have most of the hard stuff knocked out, I should be able to finish it up pretty soon. I'm not sure if i'll make big meats, but i'm going to try like hell.
