33" BFGMT Flat black wheels *pics*

getitdone · 11-12-2005, 12:23 PM

Just an update on my latest. I have been doing too much lurking and not enough posting.

Plus I just a bad ass digital camera for my b-day!

So...

I purchased these rims from BigSur who is mostly on ih8mud.com. Mike(shifless) was the middle man, thanks again mike!

Anyway, they are american racing rims 15X8 that I got for 20 bucks each.

I went to town sanding them with air tools and sand paper. The process took forever.

I knew that to get everything to adhere as best as possible, all the chrome had to be scratched up pretty good.

After the sanding they each got two caots of POR15. Bad ass stuff.

After the POR15 dried I lightly scuffed them and painted them with some general purpose flat black spray paint and mounted my 33" BFG MTs.

The results are AMAZING. I love it.

I get no fender rubbing with the aid of my 4Crawler 3" body lift.

These pics really don't do it justice.

Wanted to see if they rubbed under flex but I didn't really have time to get any more flex than this.

I have some pretty bad rubbing at full lock on the pitman arm. Other than that they fit perfectly. The look is really mean too.

Nice job. Good looking' 1st gen.

INsr5runner · 11-12-2005, 12:34 PM

looks great! the flat black looks a lot better than the glossy finish left from the POR.

SC4Runner · 11-12-2005, 12:59 PM

Really cool!

getitdone · 11-12-2005, 03:21 PM

Thanks, yea I wanted to go flat black since day 1. I have always dreamed of the teflon coated wheels cause they have a flat/satan finish and look bad ass. The POR15 is just a strong foundation.
I have had the wheels on for about a week and have had no problems with the paint so far.

toddowaddo · 11-12-2005, 03:28 PM

I like how that looks! Good move on the POR15, that's some tough stuff.

86toyota · 11-12-2005, 03:40 PM

Very nice. I started a thread asking about doing that exact thing a while back. I'll be doing it in the spring. I thought about going gloss, but that looks good also.

getitdone · 11-12-2005, 03:44 PM

I remember the thread, I think I had about half the sanding done.

Go flat you wont be sorry.

Haha, I was thinking the same thing. Did you use a jack first?

getitdone · 11-12-2005, 04:32 PM

No, haha.

I drove up some 2x4s but they fell off when I got up so I moved them out of the shot.

Looks good! How much backspacing?

dwh91102 · 11-13-2005, 03:53 AM

wheels look awesome man, just a quick question. Where did you get the por, did you order it from there site, or can you get it a parts store?

Napoleon047 · 11-13-2005, 08:38 AM

just one question, why a 3" body lift on a SOLID AXLE RIG?

garrett1478 · 11-13-2005, 09:12 AM

why not?

getitdone · 11-13-2005, 10:43 AM

rocket Looks good! How much backspacing?

Can't remember, I will check after work.

Where did you get the por

I got if off of ebay, the package deal for 1 gallon was 105 shipped. It was from "The POR 15 Store" on ebay. I will be doing much more than just the wheels so I got a gallon. A quart would have some left over, in case your wondering.

why a 3" body lift on a SOLID AXLE RIG?

Two words... DRIVETRAIN LIFT!

...and cause I plan to have really soft springs with lots of articulation so I wont be getting much lift from them.

Can you dig it?

garrett1478 · 11-13-2005, 11:23 AM

i can dig it.
