I finally have some pics up of my 7005's and 38's

Here's a few. I have a bunch more in my gallery.

I did put on gap guards and spray rubberized undercoating pretty much under the whole truck.

I still need to fix my rubbing issues.

sick man, welcome to the club

edit: do your tires rub on your tie rods at all? That seems to be the only rubbing I have anymore, and it's only at full lock. Also, I forget, are those Toyos 14.5" or 15.5" wide?

Thanks man.

Well I can't even get to full lock right now. At least not when I'm moving.

Not sure if you rememeber but I had to use some bolt pattern adapters which made the rims stick out an aditional 1.25 inches. I'm rubbing on the front and back of the wheel well when i turn very sharp.

I mean I can drive it ok now but I just can't turn very sharp.

I will either cut on the fender wells or crank the torsion bars eventually.

they are 38x15.50x20s

Ya I wanted to get a pic of me standing with it but he couldn't figure out how to take pictures for me...

You gave me the inspiration with the 7005's,,,you and pimprohr....

And now that I have done the "as big as possible tire" thing, by next set of rubber will be the KM2's unless they come up with something better before then.

I bought the Performance Acc. gap guards.

Worth every penny. I would suggest that to everyone. I think I got them at sportztrailers.com for about 75-80 shipped.

The spacers seem fine so far. Except for the fact that they make the tire stick out ever farther which makes the rubbing worse.

You guy's need to hear this story...
I bought these tires from glcash and we met halfway between us to exchange the tires/cash.

I saw he had some train horns so I asked if I could hear them.

We were setting at a gas station, and a Union Pacific truck with 4 maintainers had just pulled in to get gas.

I was expecting him just to blip the horn a bit, oh no,, he gave them a full "approaching a crossing" blast that shook the shirt I was wearing. It was fn awesome!!!!

The UP guys just started laughing...
