Mmmm 37's

Oh my, that is beautiful

 

[CAJJ93XJ]

Here's how they measure up next to my old pro comps. 36.5" tall without any weight on them

 

[blondejoncherokee]

so jelly. how much? what size rim are they ? 15s or 17s?

 

[CAJJ93XJ]

They're 17's. set of six tires... $1200

But I think I'll be really happy with them. A set of 4 brand new out the door is $1500. So I'm ok with $200/tire. 2 @ 80% 2 @ 65% 2 @ 50%. Give or take a few percent. I'm excited. I really wanted a set of kevs

Sweet shoes for the rig!

 

[CAJJ93XJ]

5.5" deavers, panhard, and mocked up steering. Final angles will be better

 

[CAJJ93XJ]

Rear needs to come down almost 3".
Rock slider height: 30"

 

[CAJJ93XJ]

Repost. Damn phone

Triple post. Nice work Jon!

That bumper is looking sweet.

 

[blondejoncherokee]

It looks so nice I had to say it thrice

 

[CAJJ93XJ]

and theres the rear bumper. if anyone follows the build on pirate "pushing the limits" by 8lugxj you will recognize the styling.
shackles are mounted off that. chevy 56" springs with 1.5" lift shackles. 72" drip rail front and back! bumper is great but the shackles hanging off is unacceptable! gonna have to link it next year

but for now, I'm stoked. time to hack some fenders :guitar:
