Those are some kind of gnarly! You get a spare with those?

Not yet for two reasons: one being the price, I'll afford it later! Two, I ain't got no where to mount it yet! Until I get a bed mount, honestly I could probably just ratchet strap it beside the toolbox and call it a day, it's a heavy tire just like that, and it ain't even got the wheels on it yet, so it ain't going anywhere cause hardly anyone gonna be able to move it, especially a bed 3ft off the ground lol
I do plan to get a spare for sure, I'll need it, just holding off for now, needed the 4 asap, but soon enough!

Apologize for the lack of updates as of late, been way too busy for my liking and putting too much other crap off that's now catching up with me. But on a side note, 37x13.5r17s have arrived, wheels and all. So it shouldn't be too much longer now I hope, though works been slow and cutting back hours due to that so pay ain't what it used to be, so it may take me longer than planned. Still less than a month I'd 'bout guarantee

Nice can't wait

 

[DemonMudder]

Some more pictures, wheels included this time! Think they're gonna be sick! First comparison to the explorers 32s, then my 33s, then moms 35s. Cannot wait to get 'em on, hopefully before halloween

Nabbed a tube bumper and got that sucker installed! Ain't hooked the pods in yet, but the led license plate lights are nice. Waiting on my driveshaft to be finished up at the shop so I can drive her again since the carrier bearing went our again, but it aint too bad I don't think. Definitely looking into having a second tube welded above that one to sorta fill the body gap there. Also not sure what I'll do with the trailer plug bit, I've got the older style so I'm not sure I can really use it, plus the dude cut the wires too short for me to really get to all those lil' wires and wire it up anyway unless I pull it out the front, maybe I'll throw something else there down the road. Bumpers a bit dirty from me fighting with it on the ground for a while, I'll get her cleaned up later on

That chain makes the truck look like it's on probation. The hand is an interesting alternative to the pouch some hang on the rear bumper.

Well, Halloween is right around the corner, I suppose I did forget to post I officially decorated lol
just like what's hanging off the tailgate, theres a chain that wraps around the passenger side running board that I ain't nabbed a picture of yet

I like it, too bad that hand waves with all 5 fingers.

Very true, could always cut a few off later! lol

lol that would be perfect LOL

Forgot to mention, been a busy last few days. But I got the pods hooked in, which are definitely a lot nicer than my previous pods, also got my 6" bars back installed too. There was just a perfect hole on each side of the body above the bumper where they're just below the tailgate, so it worked out pretty darn good! the license plate lights alone on this thing are pretty darn bright too

looks great bro

 

[DemonMudder]

Been a serious lack of updates, been scraping pennies trying to work things out and fix things. Did finally figure out and fix my acceleration choke, also just got my windshield replaced finally, no more cracks! Looking at taking her to the shop on the 18th for the lift finally! So dang close but I finally got everything and finally close to the spare funds. Hoping yo get my 40k tranny cooler thrown in on Monday too. also got the visor all painted up, still gotta sand it again and re-coat the clear, as well as touch up a spot or two, accidentally scraped it some and the paint was done kinda crappy anyway thanks to some rain out of nowhere when I started.

I like the couple, hanging out in the bed.
