BlueBottle's '16 Plat CM Build

BTW: New Coupon for this month is SAVE5

 

Just got it done!

 

I looked through your build pages and didn’t see any pic of how much your tires stick out without your flares. Can you post a pic straight down the side. Looking to do the same set up (305/65-18 on 18x9 +18)

Thanks

 

Really? I have a lot of pics in here, hard to believe you can't find one showing that request. I am using +12 wheels so it is a bit more aggressive than yours. I believe they stick out about 1.5" from the body. Somewhere around there.

 

I’ve seen lots of pics just nothing really straight down the body. And I mistook the offset. Thought you were a +18. No biggie only 6mm difference.

 

Also love your truck. Super clean looking

 

Thanks...

I checked real quick - and I found these in the first two pages. Should give you a good idea.

Got rid of the last of my halogen bulbs on the truck. The front turn signals. Replaced them with a pair of VLED Triton V6’s. I had to use the 3ohm resistor up front because of it was hyper blinking with my Sirius LEDs on my rear turn signals. This lights are bright! At least double the brightness compared to stock. Video doesn’t do justice but here they are...

Really bright. Those are not drl’s no more right?

 

Platinums never had those as drl because they had the drl led bar. So when I put the ‘18 leds still acted the same. Those bulbs are only signal bulbs. On your truck, it would be DRL/Park/Signal.

 

That would be a bright drl for me. Looks good though!

 

I believe your electrical skills surpass mine significantly. Would you mind checking these out and giving your opinion? I've already got harnesses and relays (not completely installed) and a Blue Sea fuse block so should I go with the cheaper one or start all over with the more expensive one?

Thanks.

 

Both of those are all in one units similar to a switch pro. So I’m a bit confused. If you already have relays and blue sea fuse box all you need now are switches. This is a bit overkill as the links you posted is a complete system that can power your lights without any additional relays. Honestly if you want the simplest lighting control you can’t beat switchpro. Easy install w lots of options. Do it right the first time and dome mess with all these others.

 

Thanks. The cheaper one looked to me like it lacked fuses and relays. Part of my issue is lack of space for switches and these are nice and compact. The blue Sea is mounted and one of my 4 relays. It's not too late to switch directions..... pun intended.

 

The cheap one doesn’t have big relays but it does have small ones in the controller. Good only for lights. Can’t use it for a compressor or winch. But I still recommend switch pros. It is worth every penny. So much easier to install and add anything else in the future.

 

mr. bottle,
which anytime fog mod did you use?
all the fog mods I've seen have the foglight on all the time whenever the lights are on.
do you have a link?

thank you!

 

I used this. Works perfect!

 

Got my new shoe setup installed.

@SCSPerformance ray10 wheels in matte gunmetal 18x9+25
Toyo Open Country ATII Extreme tires
295/70R18

Happy with the results. Glamour shots to follow.

 

Looks perfect!

 

Trying to be cool

 

Nice new set up. May I ask why the change?

 

I’ve always liked the ray10’s but it wasn’t available until now.

 

Does the offset of Ray10 matches the oem wheel offset? Do you have a side photo of the wheel to see how much it stick out pass the fender/body panel? Thanks.

 

Stock offset is +60. Ray10 is +25. There’s not many options for anything close to 60 out there. Maybe check tire rack?

The tire barely sticks out. Most of the thread is under the fender.

 

Looks awesome!

 

Hope your happy, you’re making my wheel offset and tire choices more difficult. Lol

 

Looks awesome man! My Ray10's should be delivered today. Do the 295's clear your Rockblokz up front?

 

Thanks bud!

haha this is by far my fav setup. No regretz! glad to make your life more complex!

Thanks... it clears the rockblokz. I did mod them prior though. I cut a bunch off the front to clear with my 305's. I took off the rockblokz just cus these wheels don't stick out as much anymore.

 

Here is a pic to show how I cut them

 

Awesome...thank you. I just checked out your newest pic shooting down the side and these don't poke near as far as your last set up. These Ray10's with 295's are just about as perfect a setup I can imagine. I really dig the matte grey on your MGM truck. Good job man, enjoy!
