here she is, the lift and shoe odyssey complete:
side view
3/4 view

looka dem meats! the old girl is shoe-d and dressed and ready for the town! still have some trimming to do, but i am extremely happy w/the results of all this friggin' work finding a combo to work. uhom and timber, we have a working model to go from! i am still experimenting w/possible options (listed here), but a run down to hollister tomorrow will tell me much. enjoy!

 

BADA$$ BUDDY! I love the look, great job.

 

ohhhhhhhh (drool) that is one hot truck! i love it, Michael! you did a great job picking some awesome tires and wheels!

 

get some good offroad shots and that truck should be added to the YotaTech banner up top there!

Nicest 4th gen I've ever seen, good work.

 

hey thanx you guys, awesome compliments!

 

Do you have x-reas option? If so did it complicate things?
My dad has a 4th gen that I really want to build up esp since he insists on keeping the running boards.

Also what size tires do you have now and how much trimming are you looking at?

And yes that looks bad ass or as my buddy says BTLRDY. You 4th gen guys are really making it hard for me to keep hating the new body(read...Im getting jelous).

 

Lookin wicked bro!...black always looks sick...makes me want to paint mine, lol. Good work, I am curious as well regarding what size tire you are running...they sure look larger than 285's...maybe the angle...I dont know, but they definitely fill up the fender wells!

We are most likely gonna use the 3/4 photo for the web page...if you have any others, or take some while you are on the trails, that would be killer.

Again, great work...glad to see our Nitrous Enterprises Spacers in the mix.

Billy

 

thanx for the compliments, really appreciated.

no xreas, ask 4route about that -- she has xreas, and is the queen of 4th gen mods! you should not have many probs at all. my advice: get rid of the running boards and add sliders that are canted at an angle to give you some "running boards." for trimmimg...oh, my...best described in terms of a cultural icon -- it just keeps going...and going.... take a look here to see what i did just to the body mount brackets, and i had to do more after this. the plastic is the bulk though. i am running 285/75/16s on 16" rims w/3.75" of backspacing, you will have a MUCH easier time than i if you are running 16" rims already. good luck, have fun and go for it!

 

i have xreas??!?!! oh god ... every wire and tube i found during my lift, i yanked and figured it'd be okay to cut everything with scissors! DAMN ME!

 

and didn't you use all those extra tubes and wires to tie your suspension back together after you ran out of duct tape?

 

WATCH OUT, she is swinging that pickle fork again...uhom on the loose!

 

at myself!

haha. anyway, i'm glad you got a setup that worked with your runner ... it really does look awesome and i can't wait to see how you like it offroad now!

 

cannot wait for tomorrow to come? are we there yet? are we there yet? are we there yet? are we there yet? are we there yet? are we there yet?

any leads/feelings on shoes for the uhom-rig?

 

Holy crap that's a hot looking rig.
Me and my co-worker always drool over the 4th gens, I want one sooooo badly.

 

i hope you have fun tomorrow!!

i'll be :cry: a lot for lots of reasons, but then because i'll look forward to hearing about how your trip went!

for my rig, think i'll get some 285 mtrs.

Two words: BAD ASS!
