jyeager Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Jyeager- you live here in the austin area? Sent from my LGMS395 using Tapatalk Unfortunately not, or I could come over and bend things for you. I live in the Nashville area. I've been to Austin in the past. I like the town a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenda3 Posted July 22, 2015 Author Share Posted July 22, 2015 Got all the bends and notches done up front. Man its hard when your nursing a hurt body. On a side note however, i have the bfg at's im tsking off. Ehats a fair price 30x9.5x15 on stock chrome wheels? Every penny goes towards new parts right?

greenda3 Posted July 22, 2015 Author Share Posted July 22, 2015 I found a set of 33s on yota wheels for 460. 75% tread. Gonna grab em tomorrow. Im a cheap bastard. Still wanna sell the take offs though. No room for spare wheel sets. Sent from my LGMS395 using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenda3 Posted July 27, 2015 Author Share Posted July 27, 2015 Had to add that Texas flare of course... Sent from my LGMS395 using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jyeager Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I like the Texas flare. That's pretty great. I have a question you might be able to answer. I see trucks all the time, usually Jeeps with that hoop leaning way out forward. I understand a grill guard...but is there an additional purpose in leaning it out so far forward? I'm sure my question shows ignorance of basic off-road knowledge....but I am very new to all things off-road. Thanks. And I'm glad you got some relief for the back pain and are feeling better.

96Pathfinder4x4 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Looking good man! Wish I had a bender and notcher. I have a couple friends that have one. I buy beer...they watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenda3 Posted July 27, 2015 Author Share Posted July 27, 2015 Imagine coming up to a large lip. The bumper acts like a "slide" to get the front wheels up on it. Same going down a sterp hill. Plus it looks super cool. Sent from my LGMS395 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryan88pathy Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Man must be nice. My wife flips anytime I spend money on my pathy. And the Texas flair is a good thing. Just waiting to do my front bumper when the heat lowers a little. It should be the best thing in DFW.
