Time for a rear bumper with a tire carrier for that spare!

Bandit Runner

Thanks for all the compliments guys. I had already trimmed and pounded the pinchweld/firewall area about 6 months ago in preparation for this day. Haven't noticed any rubbing yet, but haven't flexed it out much yet either.

The rear bumper I am building is just about completed. It will not have a swing-out tire carrier. The spare is actually a Maxxis Bighorn 255/85R16, which is just slightly smaller in diameter that the other 4 tires, but quite a bit narrower. It fits nicely in the stock spare tire location.

that looks great!
how much susp. lift is that SS 1.2 ?
and what is the width and back space on those wheels?

Easily the sickest third gen ever!! I've followed your builds: just pure awesomeness!!!

Bandit Runner

Thanks. I've got about 2.5" lift in front and about 3.5" in the rear. Plus the 1.5" body lift. The wheels are 8" wide, with the same backspacing as OEM wheels - 4.625". But I also have SpiderTrax 1.25" wheel spacers, so my effective backspacing is 3.375".
