The marker lights on the flatbed are a great touch. I would peel them off on the first rock I encounter haha hopefully you are a better driver than me! Thanks for the inspiration, need to get cranking on mine! |

i know what you mean. ironic, being in socal and saying that. closest thing i know of for me is proline by the fire, and that's a 3 hour drive. i would LOVE to go to a GCM event. someplace that understands tiny tires. proline it seemed everyone was running 2.2's on wraiths... they hardly noticed any obstacles. well, aside from us cool cat ascender shirt wearing guys... ;) that said, you should try making it to proline with us eventually and i will try to make it out east someday... and the truck looks AMAZING. cant wait to see what you do next! |

Started printing a few test samples for dual wheels. I hope I can make them work. Then I realized I'm going to have to move some weight forward or pull off the brass on the rear axle. I think it will throw off my 60/40 I had set pretty good..... I'll figure something out. Sent from my ZTE A2017U using Tapatalk |

One wheel done. 5hrs of print time. Now 5hrs of sanding and painting and they should look good. Sent from my ZTE A2017U using Tapatalk |

Testing out the wheels. Rear offset is pretty close. And front works good too and narrows it up a little bit. Sent from my ZTE A2017U using Tapatalk |

Well due to the fact that I'm going Dually I ordered a new set of tires. I was going to go with just 2 more of what I have, but I came across a perfect set of vintage looking bias ply tires. I haven't seen them before so I don't know if they are new or I just bypassed them? Anyway I think they will look perfect. Sent from my ZTE A2017U using Tapatalk |
