Firestone Destination MT

[NoahSki]

Got the new tires thrown on today along with an alignment. Can't wait to see how the do in the woods this weekend when I go hunting. So far they're good on the road, they do howl a bit but that's expected with any MT tire.

Comparison of 265s and 285s

Tires change the look a lot
Looking good sir

I think you will like them. I was running them last time.

 

[obi_krash]

I really wanted this at one point, but the firestone near me is run by jerks.

Tires make all the difference on these rigs. Looks great!

 

[NoahSki]

So far so good. I got them from a member on thenewx that sold his truck. Got the set of four for $110

What?? That's insane man. Or do you mean 110 each?

I thought the same thing when he posted it. Thought it had to be a typo but I PM'ed him and sure enough, $110 for the set. Picked them up from him in Chattanooga when I was driving home from Ft. Campbell on Friday.

Wow. That's awesome. Great find!

Wow! I had those before the Kendas. I liked them. Keep them balanced and they will last. They do howl. But like you said they're MTs. Good find.

I absolutely loved Cory's Firestones.

Dang! Why can't I find a deal like that! Lol

 

[NoahSki]

Just finished detailing washing and waxing the X

 

[caseycamby]

Awesome!! Looks great!

 

[NoahSki]

Gotta get it ready to trade for the jeep

 

[Timrich]

Trade???

 

[Prime]

Uhm what?
But...... The leather?!?

Never leave your phone unattended on the forum around your friends. Lol

Well played

 

[Prime]

Lol!

 

[caseycamby]

That's funny haha!

 

[rolling rock]

Great looking pro 4x!! What lift are you running on that?

 

[NoahSki]

Right now it's only got prg adjustable shackles and nisstech 2" spacers. 2" body lift is going on over labor day weekend.

 

[rolling rock]

Nice. Looking foward to the pics.....

 

[NoahSki]

Body lift installed. Custom grille ready for paint and bolt it together tomorrow

 

[rolling rock]

Fantastic! Cant wait to see the new pics. Did you have any issues with the prg/nisstec lift? CBC or otherwise? Love the updated grille. Gave mine a good detailing early in the week.....

 

[NoahSki]

Prg / nisstech lift was an easy install. I did have to cut the lower bolt on my passenger side shackle though. Other than that no issues. I do get CBC occasionally but not too bad.

I guess it's about time I create a build thread...

 

[NoahSki]

Plasti-dip and wheel spacers come Tuesday.

 

[caseycamby]

That's a perfect little hole up front for an LED

 

[NoahSki]

I want to do the 40" on the roof and a 20" in the bumper. Eventually I'll get the shrockworks front bumper and I can just transfer the 20 to it

 

[Prime]

I love the ED-209 look you can do with the late 2nd gen trucks. Fantastic!

 

[rolling rock]

That turned out P E R F E C T ! Love it. How did the BL go? Only mod you have to do is one of the bumper mounts correct? Was that front or rear? Was this the BL?

[NoahSki]

No I got one of the last ones from Brian at Jersey parts. Only actual mods were the cutting of the rear bumper. Have to cut the parts of the bumper that rest on the underside of the frame. Most people (including the instructions) also drill new holes 2" lower in the rear bumper for mounting it. Since I was doing it by myself I took my cutting wheel and went from the original top mount hole on each side and cut a slot all the way down. Then I threaded the two top bolts that go into the frame and just slid the bumper onto those. Once it was level and even I tightened them down and put the hitch on.

 

[NoahSki]

The rear bumper is the hardest part of the body lift. Everything else is pretty easy.

 

[chrishaynesusa]

Nice score on the Tires.

 

[NoahSki]

Finished stealthing the bumpers and wheels. Also did the grille and all emblems. Wheel spacers will be here tomorrow hopefully.

 

[Pro-2X]

Hmmm, looking good. I am loving how a new tire post is turning into a build thread too.

Lol I know, wasn't intentional. I'm going to start an actual build thread tomorrow.

 

[Pro-2X]

I say keep going with this.

Agreed. Just change title and see if you can get it moved. Looking good by the way.
