wow!! awesome job the truck looks very clean and well built, what size rims and tires are you running. i normally dont like the nitto mud grapplers and larger rims(see them on to many dodges and chevys) but they look incredible on your ex.

wadetoombs87 · 04-12-2011, 02:49 PM

35x12.50x18 on a 18x9 kmc monster wheel. Thanks for comments

**Burns** · 04-12-2011, 02:58 PM

Looks great. Nice and simple. I like it

How do you like your tires? Im running the 37x13.50

wadetoombs87 · 04-12-2011, 03:06 PM

love them. They aint even got a weight on em and no shake. ive owned 3 sets so i swear by them. they pull super hard in mud long as you keep em cleaned out. i got them mainly because i bought them new for 800 bucks.

**Burns** · 04-12-2011, 03:08 PM

Ah I see we follow the same logic. I got mine for 1000 flat.

I have come to like them but I feel they weigh a ton.

wadetoombs87 · 04-12-2011, 03:19 PM

There's no need to feel they weigh a ton lol. They do! Mine are load rrange e due to that's all they make for a 18. They have to be close to 200 for a tire and wheel combo. Im looking for a set of 35x14.50x15 tsl boggers on a 15x14 wheel to run also.

*Glen4X4* · 04-12-2011, 03:48 PM

Nice truck, your setup looks clean and well done.

*chad551* · 04-13-2011, 08:56 AM

Like I said before you did an amazing job on this.

**section525** · 04-13-2011, 09:03 AM

Wow!

*turboexplorer* · 04-13-2011, 12:25 PM

Great job. Looks awesome, and well done!

*Randall* · 04-13-2011, 12:28 PM

Looks very clean. Nice job! I think that's the first SAS on this board with 18's, though maybe I missed one.

wadetoombs87 · 04-13-2011, 12:56 PM

Thanks. And chad thanks alot for some ideas.

wadetoombs87 · 04-13-2011, 03:47 PM

Ya the 15s just wont cutting it for me no more. I love the 18s. Wish id of went 20s tho. But they may of looked too big.

mrbird09 · 04-14-2011, 12:25 AM

bad ass truck!! i have an eb 95 im looking to do the same. those full widths on there?

wadetoombs87 · 04-14-2011, 07:46 AM

Yep

*chad551* · 04-14-2011, 08:16 AM

On your shackles what is the length bolt hole to bolt hole? I am still trying to figure out why yours flexes so damn much

And you did use Waggy leafs right? 5 pack springs..

wadetoombs87 · 04-14-2011, 08:48 AM

They are 5in hole to hole bud. It really surprised me with the flex. Im doing anti wrap bars this weekend.

NWOff-Roader · 04-14-2011, 10:19 AM

Great looking X! Nice work.
