each eh? well that stinks. im kinda ify on his stuff. saw a install where a guy did fenders before a hood, and the body lines werent even close till he put the raptor style hood on. I want just the hood but doubt it'd line up to my mcneil fenders.

 

Thats what im worried about...i dont want another hood but he said he could get it to the contour of the hood and all but 600 to get em here and pribably still need work im unsure and i like the look of the front and the lines are nice but i want to make sure itll look right before i do it

 

Id have complete faith if mqueen said he would make it match. Ive never seen a poor fitting mpd glass

 

thats not cheap! I had my mcneil fenders painted on my truck for 7 all in.

trouble i found is if you go front you kinda have to go rear fenders or it looks weird. those fenders on a raptor conversion wpuld look neat.

 

I agree it is alot for fenders...at least with mcneil i could keep my rear stepside and it look more natural with the body lines similar and no extra

 

Little update, still waiting on BTF but got sliders welded up. Going to undercoat them today and mount my t case skid plate after paint and still 2 holes. Getting a roll bent tube for the front bumper made this weekend and some mounts then I can build off the main bar later and mount my stinger.

 

Love the sliders!

 

Thanks once I figure out my rear glass for a steppie I'll add kickouts to go the full length but it may require custom besides...

 

Got frame under cab undercoated and my t case skid rhino lined with dupli color bed armour...really want a tubular Trans crossmember someday and the BTF gas tank cross member to finish it all up under the cab

 

Got some work done on my front bumper...just tacked together...may shorten the mounts and still need to pull the corners in abit.
Also spoke with Brandon and my kits almost done..had some issues with the axles but at least it'll be right..

 

Whats the deal with the axles? Stock joints or 930?

 

You'll probably have the build a trans crossmember. I've been trying to find one that's tucked tighter to the frame. No luck so far

 

Stock joints is all..he had to have someone break them down before anything...
Someday I'll do a tube crossmember for my Trans but it'll be aqhile

 

Got some measurements left and hopefully I can get a few more tubes cut and bent to finish off my bumper

 

Picked up some polyurethane bump stops, new relay for my kcs I picked up and gonna order alignment cams tomorrow. Put some paint on my bumper till I can get the rest finished.

 

What tires are you going with once the LT comes in?

 

Fallen wild peak/ rocky mountain or Yokohama geolander ats in 285/ 75 haven't decided yet which. I like the wild peak cause it's more aggressive and I've heard good things

 

+1 on wildpeaks. love mine!

 

How do the wild peaks do in the snow and other terrain...I want an honest opinion from someone who's had them awhile

 

they did great. didnt put any weight in the bed all winter, and it was one of the worst we had.

i was hating them on one drive home, i was sliding coming to a stop. next day i was told that we had one of the worst ice storms in history. there were hundred of cars in the ditch and i was still there and made it home after a 45 min drive.


also had an oops moment last winter, passed a guy, truck drifted (my lead foot), i swerved, went through a 3 ft ditch, onto a lawn, across the lawn, back through the ditch and back onto the road. the whole time my buddy is on the phone with his gf in the car behind us. all of this was covered in 18-20" of snow.


they dig great in mud, sand, snow, i cant spin them on pavement, and they dont chip or tear like my old BFG's did.

needless to say, i'll buy another set when these wear out.

 

That's what I needed..I need a good snow tire for here, where it winter 8-9 months of the year and icy. That's the main reason IM not going Bfg that and they get dry Rot cracks quick

 

yup, they do great for me and my 2wd. you have to drive sensible, but they are sure better then a summer or MT

 

I do drive sensible and 4wd helps too alot

 

Also ordering and arb snorkel cap so I can run a snorkel up into my cowl hood, keep it hidden like Camodowns and some shackles...ditching the add a lead. May get deavers in a year

 

if you want to stay inexpensive, just grab some 64's. after my first ride, the ride down the street about the same, and they can handle basically the same travel, maybe a bit less.
