Went ahead and ordered 1 inch wheel adapters from wabfab so hopefully they will get here in time to have ready when I get these tires mounted up, I would have the tires already but my job can't seem to get me home before Saturday night. Hopefully next weekend.

My roof rack I built my self, I was in a rush building it and didn't get any picks but I'm not happy with how it turned out and plan on reworking a few things, I will document that process better. Thanks for checking in.

I have got quite a few things done the last couple days, finally got my coax ran for my c.b.
cleaned this mess up hard to tell from the pics but its cheap trailer light wire harness. I removed all of it I cant believe how crapy a job they did cobleing it in there.
the big news at least for me is I finally got my tires mounted but Im haveing rubbing issues. trying to figure out some lift issues. It was dark when I got home but here is a pic of how close the front is.
its only rubbing the bumper and I plan on changeing that soon may trim it some for the time being but Im not happy with the rake I have ended up with with this lift.
I also did the ISR mod today didnt think to take pics of the finished product of that either.
the tires look great looking forward to seeing how the work off road.

just wanted to throw up some pics of how its looking today. let me know what you guys think.
since I had to do some triming on the flares on the bumper I opted to just remove them Im checking into bumper options not sure if Im build one or buy one, I dont think this looks to bad for now tho.
thanks for checking in

got to do a little wheeling today it was just the wife and I and the park was all but deserted so we didnt hit anything hard just some easy trails. the runner did great all but the rubbing tires I really didnt think I would have this much of an issue with these things any way I will get it sorted out.
not good pics but it was raining and I didnt want to be outside LOL.
I did get my wife to drive some got a vid of that again not great quality but ey its my first attemp, also excuse the breathing in the back ground I smoke and was out of breath from walking up the hill. wasnt a hard trail but Im proud of her for trying it anyway she has wheeled her pickup but until today refused to drive this one off road.

Just got a chance to get caught on a few things. Your runner is coming along great. Looking better. The roof rack looks great. Seen you werent completely happy with it but you will get it. Cant be much to get it the way you would like.
The tires look great on it. Glad to see you got the wife out and wheeling. Kind of helps when you need some upgrade she understands a little better and just makes for a great time.
Looking good.

thanks terry the roof rack just got rushed and I want to change a few flaws but it wont take much.
really happy with the tires wish I didnt have all the rubbing issues but that comes with the teritory.
the wife loves to go wheeling she just doesnt want to drive, I got her behind the wheel this time but she swears never again LOL. It was just a hill I dont understand her issue but hey Id rather drive any way.

thanks hab, and thanks for all the advice on the wheel adapters. this runner was supposed to be hers but I kinda took it over oops.
