Re: Project Orange to Green
Thanks guys!
They are 29x15x20. Chris bumped up to the 30x16x20 so I picked these up from him. This was the tire I had in mind when I first started this truck and somehow as fate would have it they're back years later ![]()

Re: Project Orange to Green
Rack is mocked in. I had to trim quite a bit off of the bottom of the A/C comp. bracket. I also had to trim 1" off of the inner tie rods.

Re: Project Orange to Green
I decided to do a little work on the ol girl this weekend. I tried to do some plumbing and realized I STILL don't have all of the fittings I need so I moved on to some frame work. I bent and welded in some braces on the rear end and then started welding up some of the holes in the frame rails. there sure are a lot of them

Re: Project Orange to Green
I really like what you are doing on this project! The rear end setup is super cool. I guess you just came up with the setup on your own? Keep up the good work!

Re: Project Orange to Green
Yeah, I kind of design it as I go, that's why I end up cutting and rebuilding so much

Re: Project Orange to Green
I got rid of the square tube notch support, I really didn't care for it with all of the other round tube. Also, I stuck the new short intake on for a test fit.

Re: Project Orange to Green
If you weren't sure on the crossmember, I'll say it looks much better! Nice work with the truck and I'm not sure if it's gonna get enough air with the new intake...

Re: Project Orange to Green
Finally got the rear Coy's and mounted the tires. Now I can get started on narrowing the rear end. The tires fit exactly as I had hoped so I can get the look I'm after. I'm not real impressed with the finish on these polished Coy's. Hopefully I can get them polished out better.
