big_johnson Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 Very nice looking. Now, for the questions you will asked by everyone...how is the rubbing? What kind of trimming did you have to do? The fenders look pretty intact. I beleive you are the second R50 in the US to go above 32" tires Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pathmaker Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 The rear needed no cutting.The front needed alot of trimming and cutting . The passenger side was rubbing A bracket that covered some lines on the inside frame. I cut it of and welded a thiner one on. On the outside the trimming was so miner that you cant tell it has been trimmed."just use the right tools and it will look great". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XPLORx4 Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 Nice looking ride, pathmaker. I take it those BFG MT's are 285/70R17. I'm impressed you managed to squeeze those babies in there. The clearance between the front tire and the fender (where the mud flap attaches) looks really close. How much sheet metal (fender) did you have to trim back? How did you get those tires home from the tire shop if they were rubbing so badly? Be sure to test tire clearance with the truck twisted up. You may find that the rear tire contacts the front part of the rear fenders. Where do you off-road mostly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dupersc Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Looks really nice. Boy, those BFG Mudders look so good on black rims. :cool2: Where in CA are you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick1716 Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 are those 33x10.50? or 33x12.50? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwrounds Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Man that is a sweet ride! My buddy want's to know what kinda rims those are, and maybe where you got them. He is about to lift his 91' runner. thanks danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XPLORx4 Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 are those 33x10.50? or 33x12.50? Neither, I'm guessing. They're probably 285/70R17, since BFG doesn't make flotation sizes for 17" wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pathmaker Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 (edited) xplorx4 I had to cut about 2" off of the rear portion on the front mud flap and 1 1/2" of the front portion of the front flare. You were right about the rear! I twisted it up in a canyon and realized it needed about 1" trimmed on the front part of the rear fender ,as well as the whole inside lip. It still looks clean and thats what i am shootin for. I do most of my wheelin in canyon country ca. How about you? " oh yeah to DWROUNDS about the wheels they are helo max6 straight from helo " Edited April 17, 2005 by pathmaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarguy Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 That looks sweet. I would love to do the same to my truck, unfortunately I did the OME lift and will probably have to do as much cutting to get on 32's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XPLORx4 Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 pathmaker- I 'wheel in the Sierras mostly when there isn't snow, since I live in San Jose. However, I grew up in Valencia and the mountains around SCV used to be my stomping grounds when I was in high school. I once took my parents' 2wd Ford van out in the boonies near Sand Canyon and got it stuck so bad on a 4WD jeep trail that it took 3 weeks to find a 4WD towing company to go get it! Do you live in SCV or just go there to 'wheel? Oh yeah, one last question for ya- have you noticed a big drop in acceleration with those tires?

Guest pathmaker Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 ----xplorx4--- I live in palmdale ,I just go to scv to find new thing's to do. I really need lockers now to get into more fun places. Also I did notice a large drop in acceleration with these tires! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
