You lost me on the rear bumper, what exactly did you weld and how did you improve the departure angle? It looks stock in the photo.

Um... That's the stock bumper painted black... RE RE was the one who did modification to his own bumper...

Welcome to Yotatech.

alex_mcnair

@Space: Oh Im going to. What kind of paint did you use for your rims?

@alexmcnair: I have a breather up top. You can get them from any auto parts store

Nice yota, I love that body style.
Slowly but surely man, keep up the great work!!
Wish I wouldve found the 10.5 width for mine, theyre on Backorder.

Jaino240

Thanks for the kind words. Yeah its gettin there.

Man that sucks, I know how you feel. Well keep checking in to 4WP. Im sure they'll have them back

Yup, it sucks!! I grew inpatient (waited well over two months for them); so I settled on the 33x12.5 flavor a couple of weeks ago. But guess what!!! They're now in stock!!! WTH!!! That's after I had them mounted & balanced (kept them around for a bit to switch for the 10.5 if they ever had them); bout to rip off my hair!!!

Oh well, it's just 2".

Anything new? Also, someone commented to paint the wheels; I'd keep them the original alum. color, they look best!

Jaino240

Nice. And how are the 33x12.50's? Are they really wider than the 33x10.50's? I mean like you said it is just 2 inches.

Nothing really new. Next on the list is to get sliders for the truck, as I've already paid the price of not having sliders.

Yeah I was thinking about keeping them the same color as I already have a set of blacks with 31's. I use the 31's to DD and for hunting because of fuel. lol These are for trail use. idk, i might paint them gray or a gunmetal color. Im not a big fan of chrome. haha

One word: thick!! Yep, they're noticeably wider. No way they'd fit stock without a small lift unlike the 10.5. But I think that's in part due to the backspacing of my wheels. They stick out past my fenders approx. 1.5-2". Might have to borrow your idea for flares, I'm getting sick of the rocks pounding my rockers.

Sliders, huh? That's a good idea. How bad was the damage?

Yeah, not a big fan of chrome either.(unless it's a big rig, or polished alum./stainless) Stock alloys are not chrome they're just bright aluminum with clear on them. Might have to copy your idea and get a set of street tires to DD.

Jaino240

The damage wasn't that bad. The rocker was smashed in a little, causing the driver side door to jam. But I just beat it down with a hammer. Door closes perfect now. lol

That's good to hear, sliders are a good investment!!

Jaino240

Thank you thank you. I try to keep it nice and clean as these trucks are getting harder and harder to find.

Jaino240

Finally had some time off school to do some testing. lol. Went to hit some dirt before work yesterday near the Sac River. It rubs, but not that bad. PLanning to do the pinch weld mod this weekend.






And for the rear, well it tucks perfectly. No rubbing at all.
And i know it seems like it is rubbing, but its not, its the angle of how the pic was taken.
