My plan exactly.

 

Hey MT or Josiah, i am planning on probably having to do a little trimming to fit the new Iroks. What would you recommened to cut with?

 

Use a heavy duty cutting wheel, one with the dual handles. Then buy an "abbrasive flap disc" from somewhere. They cut through anything like butter, just hold on, they tend to grab. I shaved down my chrome bumper plenty to give my tires clearence.

something like this:

This is my old man cutting up my truck. He loves the cutting/grinding parts and always has to jump in for some !

 

thats all true but i tend to be a bit of a wimp with my truck, ill tow my scout up maybe and beat that around a bit :-)

 

Right on man ! I wouldn't wheel it either, especially after your big 5.4 gets pulled around by my mighty 4.6L

My Zuk will have a passenger seat, but probably the stock one. Not the most comfortable, but "ride at your own risk"

 

Thanx. I don't have anything like that. I think I'll be making a trip to my grandpa's house, he should have something.

 

worse come to worse, you have to wait til we are up there. I can bring something to grind it down.

If the grandpa doesn't have that, you could always use a normal disc grinder. Just going to take a bit longer.

 

Actually, if you could do that it would be great. I'm gonna see if 4wheelparts will take care of it when they mount the tires. Hopefully, they'll do it for free or really cheap.

 

Ha well its my only vehicle so i cant afford a big breakdown.

But i will gladly pull the ***-end off your "mighty" 4.6

 

Good deal buddy, we shall see !


Big: Ya just let me know. We will be bringing up tools anyways, but I can make sure to grab a cutting wheel (or two)


Sure am getting stoked. Almost got the rear lift on the Sami done. Should be able to post pics this evening. And my new seat just got in, its sitting at my house.

 

When are you getting your gears/locker put in?

 

for the Ford ?? I sold those off. I got them at a good deal, then later had a buddies friend off me $300 more then I paid. SOld them, made some money, put it into the Sami. Just finished my rear lift. I'll see if I can post pics now.

Before (after flat bed and new shackles)


Now:






and yes, those are the tires it will be running.

 

the tires on it or the tires on the bed? any of your buddies had to back out yet?

 

This should be fun guys. I think I am going to be dragging a lifted and locked, TSL bias ply's wearing Wrangler out there.

I am off to load up some more for our desert trip. We leave at day break.

 

Only Dallas. The guy with the nice new Dodge. And Locked, lifted Wrangler. It sucks, he is always is good to bring along. I should be able to bring a couple other guys tho.

and the tires in the bed. The ones on it are a HUGE 26" !! The ones in the bed are 31" monsters
