    Just picked this up last week. 800 miles on her. So far tinted all the windows and leveling kit with 285 70r 18 inch toyo mt. Fuel vapor d569 18inch black with dark tint. Not done yet more to come. I did have to do some cutting and grinding on driver front nothing on passenger. I have pictures of that not pretty but it worked will post if anyone is interested.20180807_094246.jpg 20180807_093107.jpg 20180807_093249.jpg 20180807_093230.jpg 20180807_093341.jpg

    20180807_093611.jpg 20180807_132641.jpg 20180807_132641.jpg ok don't freak out l. Yes some won't do this to a brand new 50k truck but the other options was go down a tire size or lift higher. Either was not a option for me and there is still plenty of support u can't see the other side plenty of metal. Now if I was doing serious off roading might be diffrent. I only had to cut one side driver passenger was good

    wow thats hardcore brother. well maybe you can find someone local that can clean it up. the following link is for the bmc plates by bamf. i bought them and found a local welder to do the chop for me. truck still looks badass.

    ps welcome to the forum. i can attest that almost all the people on the forum are super helpful and i have learned lots in just 4 months. in addition, because of this forum i have dug myself into a money pit! lol

    Forgot to mention I will be taking the truck to a welding shop to brace the cut. So if you go with my set up be prepared to some cutting. The tire size I got are almost 35 so they are tight. the tire was really hitting the corner of the metal. like I said the driver side was the only one to be cut. the passenger side is tight but does not hit

    Hey tinman I am going to take it to welding shop to clean it up and brace it. I got a call in to a welder it sucks but for a couple hundred buck its worth the piece of mind. And I know what u mean by money pit.
