Wheels and Body

Today I started by picking up my new wheels. Nothing special, just some 15x8" steelies. They are 6 on 5.5" which is a chev/toyota pattern. The nice thing is they have 4.75" of backspace so they hopefully will barely poke out of the fenders.

What beadlocks do is, well lock the bead. Reason you might need this is running super low tire pressure for extra traction. An additional valve stem hole will be added. With the lock ring on there it's really tough to find a valve stem that works. Ballistic Fab beadlock welded in place.

Outriggers welded to the frame.

I thought a lot about this particular attachment. On one hand it would have been easier to change the bulkhead mount so it did not intrude into the rock slider but I really like the idea of being able to swap out bulkheads. So I stuck with the OEM mounting arrangement. These have a notch where the rockslider will nest into them. I'll show that in detail tomorrow.

Fender & grill.

Body is on! For now..
