4th one will be here tommorow...

Need to trim a wee bit..

Pretty lame..Fedex didn't even knock on my door when they dropped these off. They just set them right in my driveway, and I live on a somewhat busy street. Don't like the idea of 1k worth of tires just sitting in my driveway waiting to find a new owner..

Eh who cares i have sick tires now!!

Started shaving my rear housing..

Got my crossmember in too but its raining right now so pics of that will be later..

Trying to decide if I should just order the 17x8s with 4" BS then get spacers if I need too. If I custom ordered the wheels for 3.75" it would be like a month and a half before I saw them..

Anyone run 4" BS?

lol

thos tires look sick. youll have to see the 38.5s on the datsun

slabcs · « **Reply #65 on:** Mar 14, 2009, 10:21:00 PM »

I've ordered two sets of those Cragars in 17x8 with custom backspacing. It's only taken about a week each time. I say get the backspacing you want the first time so you're not messing with spacers to get the width you want.

I guess I can get 17" pro comp rock crawler wheels with 2.5" BS and I saw the datsun it looks mean

Hi GrenadedToy and slabcs,

i would try and get the 2.5" b.s. just because you probably wont have to run spacers cause i dont and mine are 2.5"

maybe buy the 2.5" and if its gonna take forever to get them maybe buy some cheap 17's off craigslist to use for mock up then you can put your weld on's on your rims when you get them

GrenadedToy · « **Reply #73 on:** Mar 17, 2009, 05:42:27 PM »

Should slide nice

Still need to finish the inside and make diff armor. Just taking my time cause I really don't feel like buying another housing.

Needs a few welds finished and black paint.. Thinking about a skid plate for the bottom.

toyotanner · « **Reply #74 on:** Mar 17, 2009, 07:10:37 PM »

sweet progress

but with you wanting to drive this most the time i wonder if your rearend will hold enough fluid to cool the gears properly

TheCookieMonster · « **Reply #75 on:** Mar 17, 2009, 07:56:22 PM »

nice work, looks good

thats a good thought, kind of depends if it gets drove long distances or just around town

GrenadedToy · « **Reply #76 on:** Mar 17, 2009, 08:03:48 PM »

Ive still got like 1/4" clearance.
Did some research and heard that the oiling shouldnt be an issue

89sastoyo · « **Reply #77 on:** Mar 17, 2009, 10:11:03 PM »

GrenadedToy · « **Reply #78 on:** Mar 18, 2009, 01:26:24 AM »

Im going to make a skid for it tommorow and throw the rear axle under the truck.
I hate working swing.

GrenadedToy · « **Reply #80 on:** Mar 24, 2009, 01:02:55 AM »

Made some diff armor out of 1/4".

Kinda crooked. Oh well, it'll get smashed on a rock anyway.

thanks man.

and yeah I thought about doing a flatbelly but too much work and this crossmember offered more protection, but I still need to add a plate to the bottom of it.
