Thanks Joon.

 

Hey Joon, I have an idea, take a "Stepped drill bit" and open up the existing larger hole on the top of mount large enough for a socket. then drop in a nut and tighten up. I am sure you have already thought of that, just trying to help...

 

Yeah, I thought of everything. I laid on the ground staring at it for 20 minutes. There’s a larger hole on the side but a socket won’t fit through the hole. I don’t want to enlarge the hole unless it’s absolutely necessary... might compromise the strength. But since the hole is oblong, I might be able to get a wrench or locking pliers in there. If that doesn’t work, might have to weld on a nut in there.

 

Hey Joon, do you remember the offset on your Methods?

 

Or weld in some new bumpstops

 

No... I forgot it. +25....

 

There's a +25 and a +18. It's only .25" difference so hard to go wrong. Thanks Bud.

 

I would think you could open up just enough to get in there with out compromising the strength. Plus by opening up the hole, you are making it "lighter!"

 

We still fixing up trucks in here

 

At that point get the wheel you like better. But if I liked both wheels the same I would go +25

 

Agreed. I'm looking at the same wheel with the 2 dif. offsets. Not exactly what I want but cheap.

 

+25 it is then. Every mm matters when it comes to rubbing.

 

I was wondering if I was going to get any comments, as I left myself open with some of the replies!! OOPPS, " wide open", did it again!!

 

That's what she said

 

great minds think alike @Tacotundra ..LMAO

 

Fixed it for ya

Morimoto Fog Lights (Have since replaced with BD Squadron Sports) Barely could even tell the Morimotos were on. Luckily I didn’t pay for them.

 

Did you wash your truck? The chrome is so shiny I can see your reflection in it.

 

Lol. Other than the suspension I haven’t washed my truck since we were at the car wash at Hollister. And that was just a hose down. The last time soap hit my truck was probably after Prarie City.

 

I was about to say. You need to get that out in the dirt!! But it was a false alarm.

 

I might have had one more wash than you. Parking outside with the rain has helped me a little. I have been considering a wash and wax before the trip.

 

Me too. I’m approaching 3 years. I think I’m due for a wax. Lol. I just don’t see it happening though, still have way too much crap to do. We got on one of JP’s sliders today. He’s driving around with one slider right now. Drilling was a PITA but it was still actually easier than installing my SDHQ’s.

 

I didn't know that White Knuckle required drilling. Was it at least the driver's side so that he has a step?

 

Yeah, driver’s side. Takes 5 holes per side and we got 3 drilled. Enough to hold it for now. Getting the nut in next to the gas tank was a bitch. But it looks good.

 

How is the fitment on the fogs? I've read a few reviews saying they don't fit the greatest.

 

One side didn’t fit perfectly, had a little gap around it. I don’t think it’s too noticeable though.

 

I think it depends a little on whether you have metal or plastic end caps. They were in my plastic end caps and vibrated a bit too much. @BlueBottle and others have suggested zip tying 'em to make 'em tighter.

 

Ok, thanks for the info guys!
