NoMoneyZ Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 I may be the only one, but those stretched tires look horrible. You about killed all the handling out of this thing also. 2 Quote Link to comment
dobo Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 ^ hater! looks the goods. that is some serious "I don't give a fuck" poke! 2 Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 I agree about the stretch. Run wider tires, and flare it. But you just got the tires... Quote Link to comment
The Taterhead Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Love the wheels. We called those 5 stars over here when they were around. Seems like they all disappeared now though. Poke isn't too bad either, I had some 14x10 turbines on one of my 620s once but took them off because they rubbed everything & it took a football field to turn around. I'm not into stretched tires but yours doesn't look bad to me. Keep it up man, this thing is looking pretty badass Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted September 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Thanks guys! Ooh whee... Those hoops are W. I. D. E. I can't wait to see what the flares look like. Any clearance issues when at full lock? No problems at full lock, however when i steer hard at speed, my rear tires hit the fender. I need to stiffen up the rear and flare it! I need to get my wheels and flares and get some photos together. Lets do it man! Looking good man now throw your welder and engine hoist in the back and come down to the ocean and help me with mine. I need someone to light a fire under my ass!!!! :thumbup: We're gonna have to set something up very soon!! I may be the only one, but those stretched tires look horrible. You about killed all the handling out of this thing also. I agree about the stretch. Run wider tires, and flare it. But you just got the tires... About the tire stretch... When we ordered the tires at my tire guys, Rather then a 225/50/15, they shipped him a 205/50/15. (I only ordered two for the time being...) We decided to mount the 205 and see how it looked. Decided it wasn't too bad, and that when I came back to get the front two, we'd order the 225/50's and swap around. For the time being, I took my two 205/60 Falkens off of my 15x8's and mounted them for the rear set. Just waiting to find some extra $$$ and we're just gonna upgrade and maybe do a 225/45/15 all the way around with the Hankook Ventus. Quote Link to comment

You should get a bigger sidewall because the problem you have is the gap in the fender. It needs to be filled in a little more. Since you are planning on flares, you will have the room as well to run a 225/55 or a 205/60. Not sure if you are going with a smaller side wall just to lower it a pinch, but that gap will get bigger. Filling the wells makes it look more lowered than having inches of space in there.

metalmonkey47 Posted September 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 Only reason I want less sidewall is because I don't really like high sidewalls. My 205/60 is about as tall as I'll go. A 225/50 has about the same sidewall. On with some random oics. Since I washed it, it looks pretty good. _DSC0011 by metalmonkey47, on Flickr Alignment is terrible. Needs less toe. Camber is pretty nice though. _DSC0013 by metalmonkey47, on Flickr Test fit the camper shell... Note the rear tire sitting on the rear fender. _DSC0016 by metalmonkey47, on Flickr _DSC0020 by metalmonkey47, on Flickr _DSC0029 by metalmonkey47, on Flickr Fender mirrors <3 _DSC0040 by metalmonkey47, on Flickr Pulled the wiper cowl, stripped it, primed it, and painted it. no more FUNK. Pulled all of the EVAP garbage lines out, replaced old random hardware with the new shiney stuff. And stripped / polished the wiper arms. 3 Quote Link to comment
jon521 Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 dude i love your truck! everytime you do something to it, i like how it looks! love that stance too, looks soooo good. those fender mirrors look like my mirrors, just mounted differently.... Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted September 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Thanks Jon! I try to keep up with myself here. It's an interesting truck for sure. I kind of wonder to this day how it would look if it was never in an accident early this year. Bet it would have turned out MUCH different. Quote Link to comment

metalmonkey47 Posted September 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 Can't decide on a color. Open for suggestions! Quote Link to comment
I'm BLUE Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 GTR Metallic Blue !!! Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted September 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 :rofl: Shoulda known! Blue is out of the question though! There's already TWO nice blue 620's over here and I don't wanna look like them. OD green was an option, but since Chad Copelands truck is OD green that kills it for me. I want to do yellow, but part of me wants a change. Like GM Performance White maybe... Quote Link to comment
I'm BLUE Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 :lol: you should have.. ollz !!! yeah I figured you were gonna off the blue (because of buddy's you keep posting ) before it was given a chance :lol: ;) yellow would actually look very good on this tee-ruck again ! black decal's/accent's ... with shiney chrome bumpers/mirrors !

metalmonkey47 Posted September 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 yup! Yellow may be the key, but there's just sooooo many colors... Tractor Supply carries this Enamel tractor paint (which I think is what's on mine) for cheap! http://www.tractorsupply.com/majic-reg-town-country-tractor-truck-implement-1-gal-new-j-d-yellow-1030928 With black accents, I think it would look great. Plus, i'm shaving/painting the engine bay gloss black so that would be pretty cool too. Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted September 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 Also tossed some air shocks on the back. Tucked the air lines nicely across the frame and the shrader valve is on the frame behind the tail light. Gonna use blocks 1'' lower in the back and use air shocks for added stiffness with a lower height. So far, so good! The suspension is tight and comfy. Pinto shocks going on the front tomorrow.
