wow mike

just wow

that front bumper came out amazing!

fishfever · 12-25-2008, 08:42 PM

any updates??

1BadJeepBruiser · 02-07-2009, 09:10 PM

Been a while... Dont know why...Just needed a break from it I think. However, with the package I got in the mail today I am once again motivated.

Figured if I am already spending the big bucks on these might as well get the matching spare

These wheels are real nice, there is one thing that is bugging me that I am going to ask Wes about but they are definitely awesome

I opted to take the center caps off and rock the Toyota hubs front and rear from Cad To Chrome as well.

I know this is a rather boring update but now that I have some motivation I plan on working on some bigger updates tomorrow.

This truck is becoming rather pricey.... There is 625$ just in axles and wheels alone

Hey Mike, Yota looks AWESOME man..! I've also got a set of 5 - SS Walkers coming in the mail for Clampy..( the NEW and improved) they look fantastic.. just curious but whats been bugging you about them..? is it the sharpness of the "scoops" - just curious

Thanks Andy,
I was waiting for the "right" wheel for this rig, and I am now certain that I have found them

Thanks, the center caps that came with the wheels are awesome, but these Yota hubs are even cooler. I am going to drill and tap another set of wheels to use the original center caps on.

Thanks C, I am thinking of hitting the wheels themselves with some polish, I am still uncertain about the rock rings...I googled the real WE's and saw that some of them have colored rings...I am trying to picture what these would like like in black or orange....

I just need to braze in a bar in the back for the rear shock mounts, then its time to clean all the flux off and get painting...then itll just me a matter of finishing the bed styrene and small detail stuff...then make it run

i think this is so original and that the colored rings are so overdone and expected. i would suggest something more subtle, like painting the screws orange or maybe an orange brake caliper behind the wheel, you know something different, but also carries the color theme in the wheels as well. even something as subtle as painting the locks on the axle orange that are normally red or chrome, might be enough just to draw your eye there and see that little bit of detail.

Can't get over how good those wheels make it. Are they wide? For some reason the flat iron's are coming off wider to me in those pictures. You didn't happen to get a measurement before you put them on did you? Or a comparison to the OG MSD's? Looks really good.

slolx50 · 02-13-2009, 06:14 PM

What foams are you running with the Flat Irons?

1BadJeepBruiser · 03-08-2009, 08:41 PM

finally got this thing into paint, now I can start to finish it up...

I went with a flat black frame and gloss gray bed, sliders, and front bumper

XSRCdesign · 03-08-2009, 08:46 PM

Baller!

eddievedder · 03-08-2009, 09:19 PM
