Looks great. Duh. Just saw you are posting pics tonight.

 

Lookin forward to seeing it! Why not just run the Duratracs year round, and save yourself some change?

 

did we just become best friends?

 

someones gotta do it...

 

same

 

I prefer wheeling with full mud tires. As well as 37s imo are better than 35s for what type of terrain I ride through. I just couldnt find a 37" mud tire that handles snow and ice well enough to feel safe.
But next year ima go Macgyver and sipe/stud some 37" muds. it works

 

Welcome! Nice truck!

 

I thought about siping some 37” MTs also. For now we’re on 37” Toyo RT and they’re ‘ok’ in the snow we have here in Ohio. Dunno about Tahoe though. Haven’t had them in the muck here to see if they’ll work at all off road. I’m starting to assume not based on how fuckin muddy it is everywhere around here.

 

Also,
If anyone knows a solid fab guy from the bay area to Reno, Id like to here it. So far it's looking like hot metal fab down in Loomis, or Rockhound Offroad in auburn. They both seem quality. My guy is booked solid for a long enough time to where he couldn't get me an actual window to book.

 

mt's are fantastic once theres 4" on the ground, its when they plow the roads and leave an ice sheet is when I feel like im on ice skates with a 7,000lb rig

 

Any of the Bastrds know? I’m gonna fuck up tagging some of them. @831Tun @joonbug who else? None of the SGU guys are that far north, but I’ll throw @papasmurf @osidepunker and @n2deep in the pile because they stay up to date on this kinda stuff.

 

Bingo. Did this the other day. 4WD is great fun on frozen roads and shit, but braking was pointless.

 

My bad bud, I thought both sets were dirty 7's! Btw, your ride looks sick!

EDIT: forgot to ask about the sliders, where'd ya get those from? Like the addition of the grate as top plates.

 

milogen in Milpitas.
Stellarfab **EDIT** Stellarbuilt up in sac
Califab in sac
@Relentless in reno

 

Hmmmm up there not sure. Sorry OP, but nice truck!! The bastards would be better for this.. @joonbug @dcsleeper408 @831Tun @TRD15559

 

LOL sorry to tag you again, and oh yeah Relentless is good from what ive heard

 

<3

 

I spoke with relentless, They are focusing on manufacturing the bumpers they have already designed. They didn have the time for a one off.
But ill def call the other shops, thanks fellas

 

Stellarbuilt not Stellarfab.

 

same same lol. thanks for the correction matt. <3 <3 ( . Y . )

 

Stellar built in Sac has done a lot of work on the @GodlessPro truck.
Milo fab in San Jose does really great stuff including hucking his truck.

 

It only stuck out because of the number of times I've been there

 

the problem I am running into with the bumper is maintaining the factory tow rating. I have spoken to quite a few fab guys saying that its not possible to guarantee the structural support needed for the same tow rating the tundra comes with. My idea is starting with a curt class 4 hitch and building off of that. But the one I found is for a Silverado. Heres a pic of the idea...https://www.curtmfg.com/part/14080

 

There are a couple of threads on here trying to get companies to fabricate high clearance bumpers. Warren has a relocated hitch (Westin?) that you might want to look at as the starting point for something custom.

 

ya I believe I have read through a few postings. The westin hitch, as well as all other manufactures dor the tundra drop a few inches to go under the bumper.

 

I only know one. MoreSavagerFabrications. He works out of my garage and only does shitty cam tab gussets.
