Who needs sheet metal anyway!

I'd say, "who needs straight sheet metal" As you already know one you start cutting it's easy to keep it up. I'm planning to take out the wheel wells and modifying the gas filler next. I still have 3+" of up travel I'm not able to use.Thank you for the kind words...definitely go for it and let us know when you do.

What wheels? Are they recentered Hummer beadlocks? Flat centers or pressed? Are they powdercoated? 8 bolt or 12? ect. ect.

Trailworthy has the best prices I've been able to find anywhere. I actually bought mine from a different source for a little cheaper, and thought I had 85% tread tires, until I cut one with my rear bumper, and replaced them with a couple from trailworthy that still had the mold flags on them. They're much deeper tread. I got lucky and was driving through so didn't have to mess with shipping 2 tires, as shipping 2 tires is as much as shipping 4.

Not really sure, I have it saved on my eBay account I can ask

Year - 1995, stock gears and a kazuma
Lift - Slee 4'' fronts and J's rear, L shocks, no spacers (net 3'' over stock)
F/R bumpers, sliders, skid, winch, tools, misc ~ 750lbs
Bumpstops- 2"
Body Lift - None; considering 1''
Trimming - none
Tires/rims
36x13.5R17 Iroks (measure 36.9) on tundra wheels no spacers (5.5'' bs)
37x12.5R17 cooper stt's on unique steel wheel with 3.5'' bs
Spacers- no

coopers with 3.5'' will require some front fender trimming/reshaping or a BL
It may just be cheaper to swap them onto the tundra's and buy some 1'' spacers

As for 37's Id do it again (and have). The loss of braking performance is the only negative i've experienced but can be compensated for by alert driving and/or someone coming up with the tundra rotor/caliper mod

Bastards. Your 80's are making 37's look frickin small. Please stop posting, my 285's seem smaller than stock now....

I just might have to get my hands on some tundra 17's and swap the 37's on my 60 over to the 80 once the 60 is rolling on 40's.

I'll try and post a couple pics of last weekend, thought they dont show much of the tires.

Also a pic of some fellas in a pathfinder who were happy to have some crusiers along (for removal duty)

 

[Cannon88]

Awesome pics Cody! I dig your front bumper too.

I agree, this thread sucks. I stay off the site for few days and start feeling good about my truck again, then log in and look at this thread and get all mad that my 285's are small and my 2" lift is inferior.

Last week my wife said I can only see you driving the 80 on a daily basis maybe another year or so.
I almost creamed my shorts.
because she knows that she will go before my 80 will.
And she said it again the other day.
She thinks she hates the 80 now just wait.
That means trail queen heaven, bust out the sawzall and bring in the 40's.
You guys all suck with your big tires

Naw, just only read threads dated more than 3 years ago. I still remember when I got my truck 285's were big, the guys with 315's were the big dogs, and the one or two guys with 37's were completely insane. Course, I also remember when doing a cross-up on a motorcycle was a big deal, now if you jump and aren't throwing part of your body 10 feet away from the bike it's not a real trick. Makes you wonder where we'll all end up.

My wife actually get's a kick out of driving my truck once in a while, cause all the Okie Red Necks gawk and cream their pants when they realize a chick is driving it.

 

[kidglove13]

Thats what I told her as well, I said you will rule the road, even though its only has 35's.
My last rig was a jacked up sas'd mini and once she drove that she wanted to drive over everything,
by everything i mean everything in the mall parking lot.
You will never catch my wife in the woods especially in a jacked up truck rock crawling.
She just does not get it.
Little does she realize that when the rig gets commissioned for trail only duty she will have frankenstien sitting in the driveway.

The 4" BS is perfect - that's exactly how you want a 37" tire to tuck.

 

[darwink1]

Took your advice man.

I shouldnt have said it doesnt rub, it does but its really only in a tiny spot in the front of the rear wheel well. The outside lug just grazes the steel lip. When I first went up the rock my buddy was freaking out behind the van so I thought I ripped into the steel or somethin. Turns out he was freaking out about how good it tucked so I took it up till the rear drivers tire was just hovering and it didnt get any worse.

Im saying f it to lowering the bump stops.

Wells... then never back up when it's stuffed like that... cause you rubbin all up in that wheel well and frame. Prolly turning white up in there.

rear bump stops is stupid easy, and I seen your fab skills... knock it out in 30 minutes tops for the entire job... 3-4" lowering and you no longer rub nothing back there... well worth it.

 

[darwink1]

I backed up right after flexing it.. Im gonna check for rub marks on the inner well but the lip didnt sustain any damage at all.
