My EVIL build - the STORM TROOPER

[Cptpackrat]

Ah then you know the area. You should join the club. I would either go Leaf or Calmini. They make it easy. lol

Well I've helped on a leaf SAS setup already, I would like to go the calmini route most likely, just kinda biding my time and hoping to get a D44 on the cheap

 

[akuria]

nice. They are harder to find now days especially a d44 from a waggy.

Dude. The 35s look awesome. Your rig is so on point.

Thanks man. I love the look of the wheels but not a fan of the 10" wide part. Plus it has an insane offset.

So I have been stewing on my wheels for the last few days. I love the style and look of them but I'm not completely sold on the fact that they are 10" wide and have a crazy backspacing. Was hoping to not have my wheels stick out that much.

What is everyone's thoughts about that? Should get some 15x8s with lass backspacing or keep these beasts?

Also thinking of pushing my front axle forward like an inch.

If you're going to nit pick, the tires do stick out kinda far. You can't stuff them to save your life.

I am going to nit pick. Lol. She's my baby. That's one reason I want to get new wheels. I want to be able to stuff them. I don't rub in the front at ride height but I don't know when it's stuffed where I'll rub.

The wheels came with the tires. They are used but have like 85% of the tread left and a brand new spare. It was a killer deal so I couldn't pass it up. Haha.

@Prime how do the stock 15x7s handle a 35x12.5 tire?

The 33s on the stock wheels were great. They just needed spacers. 35s having more sidewall, should be beautiful on there.

 

[akuria]

Sweet. That's what I want to hear. Lol. I'll just get spacers too.

I agree he did a stellar job with his truck. It kind of reminds me of the old Stompers that I use to play with as a kid.

sent from the middle of a corn field.

 

[ThompsonXterra]

Usually not a fan of the colored grilles but you pulled it off. Nice. Can't wait to see that 3 link.

 

[akuria]

Thanks guys. Once the 3 link is done I'll show it off with some flexy sexy pics.

It was a super fun trip. We were going through a dried up creak bed and there was a storm rolling in with flash flood warnings. Lol. The storm got to us just as we were getting off the creek bed onto and actual dirt road. Lol was insane. So much thunder and lightning. Lol

I like too. Went with plastidip for the ease of touchup. Put 2 coats of primer 3 coats of base and 4 coats of matte clear.

Also getting purple anodized lug nuts and redoing my wrap to remove the magenta and replace it with a plum purple color.

This is the same purple I'm putting on my fiat. They will be matching. Lol.
