Got one side on. I need to figure out what Jerry can holder I'm going to run and also how to mount a light for the license plate. Yes, I freaking dinged the right hand door on the damn swing arm pivot. Ugh.

I also took the time to paint the rear hubs. Open-end lug nuts are on order to replace the splined nuts.

I was having some bad rubbing issues with the 285 tires on Smooth Vintque 16x7 wheels with 4" backspacing and noticed a post by @wngrog 'mentioning that he had the same setup and used spacers in the back. He said that they weren't necessary in...

Well I've been pretty uninterested with posting progress these days, but had a few minutes to update.... So far the truck now has 35s on OEM steelies with 2" spacers. At some point I will put 80 rear rotors and hubs to poke the rear out some...

Nothing wrong with an e-bike. -Old Dude

In an effort to conceal whatever I'm carrying in the back (like my mountain bike) and to also help with the heat I decided to get ceramic tint. Darkest in the back and legal limit up front. I also got the cheesy unibrow on the windshield. LOL...

Just PM me your address.

ah..unfortunately my company has significantly reduced our flying in/out of Austin. I can send you a letter with a return envelope with stamp.

Does anyone have the dimensions to the tire carrier mounting holes? My truck didn't come with a tire carrier on the door and I need to install a plate for the Cruiser Outfitters @cruiseroutfit swing-out.

Austin. I live in NW Austin. I met you over at @bottombracket 's shop.

For the record
