Is it just me, or is there a problem with this picture <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> Like no gas tank <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> We were going to make it a surprise Lloyd, you'd have the world's first solar powered rockcrawler - but then Toasty cut the roof off so now there's no room for solar panels <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

We need some 2x3 tubing for the frame modifications up front and some various other steel for the corners. I have plenty of small dia round DOM still for the rear bumper, anybody have anything laying around?
Lloyd, have you looked into wheel spacers yet? as of now you could probably drive around town with a little rubbing but it would get bad offroad.

I saw your truck sitting on the new wheels and tires, and I immediately noticed that there didn't seem to be nearly enough backspacing on the wheel. I think mine are 3.75".
Way to bum out Lloyd, Toasty...

I know we talked about it, I called you as soon as i saw the wheels. Remember you have 5" backspace wheels and you need 3.5" I remember you saying that they didn't give you an option and i told you that these days you can buy spacers designed for 4wheeling. Hope I didn't ruin your day <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shiner.gif" alt="" />

The problem seems to be 17" tires. They cost a fortune, and choices for things like rims run short. I will look into spacers...

Yeah the industry seems to favor the bigger wheels these days, less rubber more money? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />
