Ingrid gets 35's

[Trapper50cal]

Yup

Those 33x10.5's in the first picture?

They started out as 33x10.5's but at the time of removal they were pretty toast and must have been 32.25" or smaller (depending on BFG actual diameters)

Looks good! Stock gearing in the diffs? If so, Is performance bearable?

Maybe I missed it but... is this the one that Ige built to give away?

Ige told me they were 4.11's Idk but I was told that ratio is stock. It is a little gutless but since 3rd is so tall in comparison to 2nd, I can take 3rd to about 47 miles per hour which is just fine to wrap up to and cruise up big hills so I think its just fine as long as I can keep the r's up


And no, its not the raffle rig, that was a 62, and went to some guy down south or something. This was her 60 that I traded my FJ55 for.

Rims

Looks fantastic!! Now I know that I am going to buy alcans as opposed to going soa.

2.5 inch backspacing on the wheels?

The rims are actually 4inch backspace with .25 aluminum spacers to bring it to the magic BS number of 3.75" to clear the front calipers. I bought these tires/rims from Zen80 in Alb. NM. Great deal by the way Zen, thanks! But if I had it to do from the starting gates, I would get 15x8's instead of 15x10's and I would obviously get them at 3.75" BS to begin with instead of running spacers.

the ride

looks nice ...how do they ride ?

They ride nice, not to noisy, they are a bit hard for tire shops to balance, so at 70 they wobble a bit but nothing severe. Oh, I had them siped too for snow traction.

 

[Trapper50cal]

Here yah go

sweet!!

Could you post a straight side shot??

Also just springs or body lift as well?

thanks,

clint

Springs and shackles- Body lifts are for frat boys, beach mimbos and posers.

Here are some side shots (a little dirty now with the snow and such)

very nice...

which rim ( numbers please) and what size are the tires?

once again very very nice..

They are 15x10 rims with 4" backspace with .25" Aluminum Spacers to bring BS to 3.75 to clear front brake calipers and to stop rubbing in the back under full stuff. The tires are 35x12.5" Goodyear Wrangler MT/R's Load rating C and siped for extra traction.

 

[Trapper50cal]

Were those 33x10.5 you had on before? Just asking because I'm thinking of switching to those instead of my 32x11.5.
BTW, the 35's look great.

Yes they were very worn 33x10.5s, if you dont want to go all the way to 35's, Interco makes a sweet 34x10.5 LTB swamper too. Had a set of those on my 55

 

[Trapper50cal]

Thanks Guys!

Thanks guys! I think it looks pretty bitchin myself! I love being part of this community and Thanks Ige (Nuclearlemon) for trading me such a nice rig to start with! You are the bomb!

Hey, I resent that! I don't run a body lift, but I'm definitely a fraternity boy!!

I'm definitely kidding, and it's a beautiful rig!

Beautiful rig.

LOL! no insult intended.

 

[OCHO4I]

Damn, you Colorado boys always have the nicest rigs!!

 

[Michael.lee]

Ingrid's looking hot. Now you can rock all that snow you've been getting... and getting... and getting...

 

[nuclearlemon]

crap, can't see linked pictures at work (only uploaded...can someone upload?)

 

[Trapper50cal]

Ah! Nuke, sorry!

Oh man Ige, what a tease huh? sorry you can't see em. Well, its just gonna piss you off that you got rid of it anyway!

 

[nuclearlemon]

maybe, but i'm lovin' the pig. got a lockrite now, rebuilt the front end, winch (cheap one, but still there), working on an overhead console, matching spare on stock rim (will eventually go to all stock rims with caps)...aaaaahhhhh, so much to do so little time and money.

let the warehouse guy at work drive it yesterday, he's an old cruiserhead. he parked it right up front where i could sit and stare at it.

pics look freakin' awesome!!!

piggie's running great. little rich, but i haven't had time to dick with it. raffle rig took up all the nice weekends and it's kinda sucked every weekend (oh yeah, except the one where i had to replace my roof), since the raffle rig left.

trying to get little bits here and there done, in addition to working on house and cleaning up the garage so i can get back to a simple life. this weekend, i'll finish installing my long breathers on the axles.

Saw the roof stuff on Rising, that really realy sucks, was it snowing as much in Denver as it was down here? Hope not.

I think you have 1 or two sets of jets smaller to go on that edelbrock but be catious with the metering rod combos as they relate to the jets (IIRC)

Yeah, Ingrid turned out pretty nice eh? I ordered the hood graphic yesterday.
Not the Colorado TEQ but a more simple red and white one. Looks better on the tan hood. I got it at 25" diameter so i'll post some pix after I apply it.

So A Proffit Rear Bumper, a selectable and a winch and I'll be all done!

Thanks again!

Trapper, did you have to shim the front axle with that lift? Any vibration issues? I am putting 4" Alcans on mine, and wondered if you had to shim. Also, do you have the part numbers for the shocks. I will have to wait and see how much lift I get and how much flex, before I purchase them, but should be close to what yours is.

Thanks, and your rig looks real nice!
