Ok, updated pics of the truck. Finished trimming the fenders and it only rubs at full lock on bumbs. Only thing else that needs to be done is get the grille painted black and back in. Everything else is finished. The spacers are because of the wheels they are a 6 lug for a ford to my 5 lug. Thanks for all the comments so far guys, appreciate it! Done with my rambling haha more pics! Got a little sand on the tires today too haha

Thanks for all the comments guys. As for the tires looking small in the rear I like the rake it has. I think it looks kinda like the bounty hunter monster truck just smaller haha. The offset for the wheels is my favorite part of the whole thing, if they were tucked more I think I could run 37s but they stick out so far so 35s were my only option. Im thinking about converting it to 6 lug and removing the adapters but it just seems like a waste to dump that much into it for 37s. Maybe I'll just find a fabteck 7.5 to match the rear haha.

why didnt you just get the wheels in 5 lug? i may have missed it but it puzzles me.

honestly i would be afraid to drive it with 5 to 6 lug adapters and 35"s

also a roof rack might look sweet on there and give it a rugged look and a nice place to mount some lights
