So my truck came today!!!! yAAAAYYYY.. .. BUT it failed inspection:(..


1) window tint has to come off

2) tires stick out too far

3) front codder pins have to be put in..

4) front diff leak..


Also, the Tires are rubbing HARD CORE when i turn.. So is there anything i can do in the meantime while waiting for my body lift to get here(next week) to keep the rubbing to a min. And not rip off my front fenders?

Also, there seems to be a wobble coming from the rear after around 45+ mph.. got any ideas?

Thanks guys! ill post up pics ASAP.. i gotta go to sleep though..

 

No help till we get pics

 

They have inspections in Iowa? or am I missing something?

Hes in Germany. sucks to hear especially with how long you had to wait

 

wobbling lol.. could be bent axle or loose lug nuts... might want to check that quick like

 

Thanks Zach, i have an appointment with my mechanic next week.. Ill check the lug nuts tomorrow. I know its not a bent axle.. so it may be that there are some loose lug nuts..

I can still drive it.. I have temp. plates for 30days.. I am going to borrow someone's smaller tires for the next inspection. for the flares, i may get gheto and get some double sided tape and tape some garden gutter in it to "extend" the flares just until it passes inspection then take them out..

 

Could be an out of balance tire as well....

on the way home today.....


































so theres the pics, no where is the help!!!??? lol

 

Looks good, are those stock flares?

 

yes they are...and they are rubbing REALLY bad, or atleast thats what i think the tires are rubbing on.. dont know for sure.. it rubs really bad when im backing up and turning, and when im turning and hit a bump..

 

First thing i would do for the vibration is get your tires rebalanced. That sucks about the tires being out too far. could you borrow some stockish wheels from someone with the same bolt pattern? or flares?

I just got my truck inspected today. I passed! i wasnt expecting too though haha

 

take a dremmel maybe and trim the back of your front fenders a little.. thats where mine rub sometimes

 

some of those need to be on the entrance photos!!!! nice truck man!

 

Truck looks good. I've never wheeled in Germany before.

 

yeah, im going to try to get one of the guys with stock rangers to let me borrow theres..

 

Wow beautiful photos!!

Sucks about failing inspection, but then the German TUV is probably pretty strict about a lot of stuff like that.

Great to see the truck made it over there. That's cool as hell.

Good luck with getting it to pass inspection!

Do you get a lot of confused looks when people see the truck?

 

thank you! Yeah, ive got 30 days to get it to pass.. or it goes to the inop lot

 

where exactly on the fenders? i figured i could trim them some and that would help.. I just really dont want to put the bl on cause i dont want to loose my tow hooks and my cattle gaurd..

 

Thats cool that you brought your truck to Germany. I don't think I've ever seen your truck till now except for in your avatar. Truck looks awesome. Good luck with passing the inspection.

 

thanks bro! means alot..
