Baller. You Decided on an exterior color yet?
very nice.......3 hours??? is it really that hard to stretch tires?
I have a few colors picked out but i am so afraid to commit to just one right now. Paint is atleast a year away...
The whole process took 20 minutes. Finding a shop in town that would do it took three hours of driving around and making phone calls. It was pretty ridiculous.
Everywhere i went blamed "riceburner teens with hondas" for y they cant stretch tires anymore. I even told them i would sign a waiver and they still wouldnt do it.
I was also very suprised at how many told me it was impossible so i pulled up tyrestretch.com and they still didnt believe me.
Oh well. Got it done. And met a cool mexican guy that was super excited about my truck lol.
I will be taking my business back to him again for sure!
haha good stuff. and its nice when you find people like that.
He told me he would hook me up with whatever i needed. Car audio. Steps for the dodge. He kinda carries a bit of everything...
Whenever i find someone that truly appreciates my business i try to give them as much as possible.
I tipped him $20 and he kept trying to give it back. He was like you overpay. You overpay lol.
I told him to keep it and that hes the only person in town that would do it. He said no problem. Heres your twenty back. Then when he finally kept it he kissed it before he put it in the cash drawer. He said in mexico they kiss money from the first sale of the day and that he appreciates my business.
I love s**t like that. I normally am pretty racist and hate illegals, but people like that make u second guess yourself sometimes.
18x8 front 18x9 rear. 205/40/zr18
Different brands of tires stretch differently. This is more than i expected, but i must admit it looks pretty damn cool in person lol.
The big thing for me is that its functional for what i need to clear the bed sides.
The front tires hit the inner fenders but i will address that issue when i finish my firewall and after i have my control arms.
I spent about 6 hours in the garage yesterday so i need to get some pics up! Made good progress.
Wheels look good my man!
Not bad for knockoffs eh?
Not really sure how i feel about them with tires on there. Maybe shouldve gotten the all aluminum ones
Only time will tell and see how they look in the sunlight and with proper camber and with a bed on and s**t...

Forgot i snapped pics earlier...
Got the passenger floor welded in. Now just have to line up the tranny and weld in my tranny tunnel and driveshaft tunnel. Then pull the cab and weld everything from the bottom...

Thats the plan.Looking damn good Chris! You should get all the frame work and underside line-xdvery good investment if you ask me!
Still gotta add a bit of bracing once i flip it up and throw some beads on the underside.
Thats what im going for
