Pimp My Ride Time!!!

[brandon mena]

Yes, my wheels are here. My fender flares are here. My tires just got to the shop. I went to see how they would look and took pics. All I need now is the center caps and lug and valvestem set to arrive. I can't wait, Merry Xmas to me!

[EddieS'04]

[Ben Poche]

[Andy Szkutak]

Andy

 

[brandon mena]

Thanks for the compliments guys. I couldn't wait to get the flares on so I just did it, lol. Totally dwarfing my current tires and wheels.

Look's like Summit like's me (or my money) because they sent me a hat too.

They are by U.S.Wheel. I got them from Summit.com 15" x 10" on 5 x 4.5" and 4" backspacing. They are called Black Daytona, 84-1052L I believe is the part number.

 

[Rhonda Lewis]

Lookin' good!!

 

[nick caceres]

brandon, will you get the wheels mounted before our meet? IM me on aim at "codename yun"

 

[Rodger Tellefson]

Looks very good. Are you going to paint the fender flairs to match? Oh, nice hat too. Ya, I think they do like you for your money.

 

[brandon mena]

Damn it Nick your not online, lol. Send me details. I'm going to paint them to match the cladding which I also painted about a week ago. I love the black and orange contrast. The truck is still filthy and it's been raining all day so no time soon though.

 

[Larry Phillips]

That'll look really good when you get 'em on!

 

[Gary DiPietroSr]

Gonna look good, Yeah! Love that black/orange look!!

 

[Ben Poche]

how much were the flairs they look great do you still have the body lift for sale

 

[Johnny O]

Like I said before, for the love of God put the tires on. I'm blind, I'm blind!!!!

You're gettin' there![Broken External Image]:

 

[brandon mena]

That's my inspiration right there. But if I hadn't of sold the body lift, even your Tonka Trac wouldn't be as large. Maybe in the future... I'm currently about 7" purely suspension, if I did the body lift and 37"s... wow.



The flares were over $200, I don't remember exactly.

 

[Dallas Starr]

they go for about 375ish on summit I think. There was a member selling them on ebay for about 200.00 last week, I wish I had the money. Hey brandon, what size of tires are those? and whats your lift so far? just TT and shackle?

[brandon mena]

Damn, do my little tires make it look that unlifted? Look up at my last post, 7" suspension. I opted not to do the body lift and sold it but I did everything else. Ranger EDGE 3.5" lift spindles and longer torsion bolts in the front and a spring over axle swap in the rear. It sits pretty even right now at about 7" front and back but it is quite the stiff, harsh ride. I have already gotten used to it though and with the front being so stiff it kinda makes up for the missing rear sway bar. it handles suprisingly well, the Pro Comp ES9000 shocks are a great handling upgrade. My current tires are 30" x 9.5" on 15" x 7" American Racing wheels. The new ones are 35" x 12.5" on 15" x 10" wheels. I think with those and the 2" spacers in the rear will really make a difference in the handling. But who cares about that, it's gonna look badass!

 

[Wayne Foy]

Thats gonna look good when you get it done Brandon.

 

[brandon mena]

Thanks Wayne, I have been trying to get ahold of you. I wanted to ask you about this "race tune" I am hearing about. Can I have one, pleeeease?
