Thanks!! I'm gonna try my best to have a completed chassis by the end of the year.

whytry85 · 10-31-2015, 09:40 PM

Well, got a little bit more done. Been waiting on wheels to show up so not much progress.
Built a drive shaft crossmember since I didn't really like the pb notch.

And these showed up Friday.. Now get to mount them and see how much I need to narrow the diff.

Gonna start on the accuair install this week hopefully!

3drburb · 10-31-2015, 10:40 PM

That crossmember look real good. I need to build one also. What's the wheels specs?

3drburb · 10-31-2015, 10:51 PM

Ok, that must be the 22x12. Wow that's a lot of lip. Sweet!!

bbbc10 · 10-31-2015, 11:36 PM

wheels are sick!!!!! good job on that crossmember

whytry85 · 11-01-2015, 03:22 AM

Thanks guys! Wheels are a 22x12 and 22x9. 4 inch backspace on the rear and 5.75 on the fronts.

whytry85 · 11-27-2015, 01:57 AM

Didn't realize I didn't post these yet. Got the wheels mocked and tore the diff out to be narrowed. Waiting for axles now..also Travis at Pro performance and Boyd welding hooked me up with this tank a few months ago on an Instagram giveaway. Awesome product!!

bbbc10 · 11-27-2015, 10:12 AM

Hell yeah! Looks sick!! Did u make that rear frame crossmember thats behind the gas tank?

whytry85 · 11-27-2015, 02:31 PM

thanks man! Nah, it came with the porterbuilt rear kit.

rip2174 · 11-29-2015, 09:20 AM

Very nice work. Truck is looking good. When you lay it out on those 22's, how far is the pinch weld off the ground?

Thank you sir! I haven't actually put it on the ground yet with the wheels on it. On stock wheels, it was around 1.0-1.5 ish

whytry85 · 12-09-2015, 01:21 AM

Got the axles in and the rear diff narrowed. Installed the diff back into the truck tonight and pressing the studs in tomorrow. Then hopefully the bed will go on this week sometime...

Nice looking work on that rear axle! Moving right along.

Thank you sir! I think i might want the rear to come up another .5-1.00 inch to get a little more rake but overall I think it has a nice stance. I'm running a 305/40/22 and 265/35/22.

Figured it was the 305/40 on the rear. They look good on the 12's.

I think so as well. They are a little stretched but not terrible. They would be right at home on some 11 inch wheels.

My thought too. But..... for some reason, not many 22x11's available.

whytry85 · 12-23-2015, 07:30 PM

Exactly. I asked intro to build some 11 inch wide rear wheels but they told me they didn't do them. I found that somewhat odd that a custom wheel manufacturer wouldn't build me a "custom" width.

whytry85 · 12-28-2015, 11:46 PM

Here's a few pics. Sorry the lights were jacking up during the storm so pics are a little blurry.

SCOTI · 12-29-2015, 12:01 AM

This thing is lookin good. What's the plan for final color?
