  1. Yea they haven’t made them in a while!
  2. I’ve got the hubs at center of tire opening in photo. The rear should be fine from the “clearancing” I did to the body. I removed pinch weld up front and am hopeful it will fit. My wheels just came in, had to get 17’s as 37” tires aren’t available for 15” anymore. Ordered from Canada wheels and had them very fast. I have been waiting on these tires for about 2 years now. The date on the sidewall indicates they we made in May of this year. They smell fresh too haha.
  3. The wheels look awesome! What backspacing options were available? A half decent joint with tore boot makes a nice trail spare if you replace!
  4. I have been eyeballing the same wheels for some time but can’t justify yet just like jay said. But if 37” BFG KM3s ever are available again (been trying for a year to order a set) I might sell my krawlers on the rims in hopes to get a set of these methods! Can’t wait to see the photos of the tires mounted and hear how they perform!
  5. Great that you are making progress! I’ll have to drive up some night in the summer for coffee night to see it!
  6. My brother just picked up an old man emu lift from there before Christmas for his tacoma.
  7. I’m 5’9” and feel tall in the car haha. They are neat little cars though!
  8. A couple winters back my uncle and I redid his Miata. There was a fair bit of body work and a few mechanical bits to address on this build. It went from all chalky white to modern (mazda) grey metallic and black (mazda) on the hard top and side mirrors. Also installed a one piece replacement soft top. Doesn’t have much ground clearance so we kept it on the pavement afterwards haha.
  9. I missed this post! Sometimes I do but mostly for family at rates that can’t be complained over haha. I can be too fussy myself sometimes and many wouldn’t want to pay for the number of hours it takes when being fussy haha. I guess that is why I don’t pay for much work either.
  10. Got the sliders welded back on and painted last night and managed to get done without wrecking the new paint. Did the final bit of assembly this morning and took for a short drive. Happy to be done for summer!
  11. This is only the fourth time I’ve painted, 3rd on this truck haha. Youtube has helped improve my work over the past couple jobs haha. Paint society has some really good content on gun cleaning and setup. I never cleaned my gun properly ever so it doesn't spray well anymore. There is absolutely nothing wrong with a roll on job! With a high density roller some guys make it look like a spray even. This is too nice a paint for what I do with truck but I had it already and easier to not change. Next time it won’t be metallic.
  12. Thank you! Same plastic I used when I painted last time in my last spot. Bit of paint on the floor but no where else! I painted in a shop once that I didn’t mask and anything that didn’t have a heavy layer of dust on it got painted Same paint I used the last time. Holds up to tree limbs decently and I prepped to paint knowing I was going to scratch it up therefore didn’t get fussy. Lots of little dents and scratches showing through. I bought 1 gal of paint when I first painted it and still have about 1/4 left. Spent significantly less this way than rattle cans and it holds up decently. When I sprayed it blue back in 09 I used enamel and no clear and it was really cheap! The urethane starts off really shiny but dulls also since I don’t clear it. If there is a next time I will try another color altogether!
  13. Freshly painted old grill, conversion headlights and AUS style marker light/blinker combos. NA trucks all had blinkers in the bumper and just the marker light in fender.
