And what's the backspacing on your wheels?

Mine are 15 x 8 backspaced 3.75"
My 1.25" spacers bring my effective backspacing to 2.5".
This will push a 12.50" width tire out past regular rear fender flares.

I think y'all are missing the point. Mike just wants that Mexican look with the tires sticking way out.

 

[Bodean]

Oh ok just buy those wheels with no back spacing then!

Bodean, I keep leaning into trees on the inside of turns where it is rutted out. Plus I'm a s***ty driver.

I was running the hardtop.

I was running the hardtop.

I have no idea what that is like!

As soon as I get motivated enough to install the male/female plugs in the wire harness, I'm going to remove my windshield completely when wheeling. It just gets nasty folded down on the hood for 4 days.

Hard top makes wheeling hard. Heavy. It leans badly.

I don't wheel often, but when I do its topless.

I like it, Cheers! & Happy Easter to all the Cottonland Brothern

Yeah my hard top has only been on the truck once in 4 years. Can't help you bro.

What are you guys doing for the license plate and bracket/lights when the top is off? Just bolting to the bumper?

I built a permanent/bolt on tailgate. Bolts to the holes for the door hinges. I put my license plate holder on the tail gate. I'll get a pic for you.

 

[Bodean]

Here ya go

 

[Bodean]

There has to be a company that offers a bolt on tailgate. You could build one if you were Jrob!

There are several now. Bout $150 I think. Prob is they all come powdercoated so I will have to sandblast before I get the truck painted.

[Bodean]

Surely you can have one made for less than that!

 

[ntsaint]

Yeah I've already got the guy who did my fenders looking at it.

Mine is very simple. 1/8th inch steel with 2 tabs and a 1x1" across the top for stability. Works great.
