Slug then knife then grill.. full compliment of mods

I'll be tinkering away, trying to find some worthy updates to my build thread. Picked up some stuff from Lowes yesterday that I thought would make mounting the brackets to the reflector bowl easy, and adjustable, but the speed nuts that I got, that are supposed to fit the machine screws I already have, aren't cooperating. So just gonna try to find some .25" screws, that will hopefully thread in the bracket holes, so I don't have to buy a tap. If that works, then maybe follow up that small victory with some demon eye work, as my LED strips should be arriving in the mail tomorrow.

Brandon... Projector retrofit.... DO IT!!

I ordered some mercury free tilt switches, looks like those will be delivered today. I'm planning to install some LEDs on the underside of the hood, and it was suggested to use tilt switches instead of pin switches. Have to dig through my parts bin and find a relay, and see if I still have the wiring harness for it, or proper sized quick disconnects where I can make my own. Looks like this could be a busy weekend for me

 

[HARDTRAILZ]

Under hood lighting would be nice. Need to do that mod.

 

[Capote]

Decided I really want some wheel spacers

 

[dmanns67]

Get some wider tires. Going from 245 to 265 made a good difference. Not sure how wide you can go since you are lowered.

 

[Capote]

Right now they are 255's

 

[BlazingTrails]

Aaron!!! What's up Brutha?? you no answer text

 

[dmanns67]

Go 275.

 

[BlazingTrails]

Man I don't thing he can go that big. that's almost 11" or tread lol

 

[dmanns67]

True. I am sure his 18" rim is only 8" wide.

 

[Capote]

Go 275.

Man I don't thing he can go that big. that's almost 11" or tread lol

There's no way I can go 275. I wish I had wider rear wheels. Too bad they don't offer a wider version of my wheels or I would of used that for rear.

Just dealing with a lot of things man

 

[BlazingTrails]

Well you should just buy some new wheels and give those to me buddy.

 

[dmanns67]

There are two sets of TBSS wheels for sale on the forum right now, 20" and 22". You should invest

 

[BlazingTrails]

the stock 20's are 9" aren't they? I know on ebay they sell staggered set of 8" and 10"

 

[Capote]

I'm poor as Fuck now, not an option

 

[BlazingTrails]

well If I die i will leave you my 22's

 

[Capote]

And then they will get Plastidipped or powdercoated black

 

[BlazingTrails]

Hellz Yeah, can't have chrome on the Bat-mo-blazer

 

[Capote]

Nope,

Considering dipping my TB arthracite grey, or white

 

[BlazingTrails]

What happened to you man??

 

[Capote]

My TB's paint looks like Shit and seeing a lot of other soldiers vehicles with black Plastidip parts looking sooo dirty lately. Grey would be a good neutral

 

[Mounce]

Grey plastidip always makes me think of primer

 

[Capote]

There's a Mustang around here with grey Plastidip, looks good, I think the primer look is an interesting look

 

[BlazingTrails]

Why don't you do it in blue?

 

[Capote]

It's very expensive to get the blue I'd want. Plus my hood is already blue, I want something offset

 

[dmanns67]

the stock 20's are 9" aren't they? I know on ebay they sell staggered set of 8" and 10"

My OE TBSS wheels are 20x8.

 

[BlazingTrails]

Dang I didn't realize that...... hey they are still awesome

 

[Capote]

Brandon, I miss your rig brother

 

[BlazingTrails]

well come back to see it


I wish you could come up tomorrow

 

[Capote]

Yeah brother, it has sucked not being on GMTN or working on my rig, I'm afraid I've forgotten stuff [emoji30]

 

[BlazingTrails]

 

[AManders6]

I need to moddddddddddd

 

[BlazingTrails]

noooooooooo!!!!

j/k

 

[AManders6]

Hopefully I'll have time in between hunting and chores this weekend to do some final fitting of my new "interior mount" so I can paint it and install

 

[dmanns67]

Dang I didn't realize that...... hey they are still awesome

Not all of us can have 22x10

 

[BlazingTrails]

I guess not.....lol


Hey, at least your rims are like Brand new

 

[dmanns67]

I guess not.....lol


Hey, at least your rims are like Brand new

Yeah for only being 8 years old, they looked rough. Glad I was able to get them restored. Only using them 6 months out of the year, they should look great for years.

 

[BlazingTrails]

Yeah and I am pretty sure you will not be driving on curbs with them lol

 

[dmanns67]

You got that right. So much so that I refuse to let the wife drive the TB while the SS wheels are on

I think the seller of the 22" SS wheels said he had some curb rash on them
