Just spill the beans man. Whats wrong with the wheels? And how would they bolt to the rear just fine, but not the fronts? Wouldn't it be easier to machine a set of rotors up to allow the wheels to fit rather then machine the wheels?

What exactly keeps these from mounting on the front, besides needing to be machined. What specifically keeps them from mounting? I really want these wheels, and the ones you suggested are almost double the price and not as good looking.

I appreciate your help!

 

Dude, I did explain it, the hubs are too large to fit inside the wheels. Thats why they will not fit the front. The rear end fits because the bearings are inside the axle housing, they don't stick out past the wheel mounting surface. And honestly, I think you should find some other wheels, and try to be original. Look on eBay, there are plenty of other great looking factory wheels. Check out RX8 wheels, Caddy wheels (car) Infiniti, whatever.

 

Unqiue?

I thought these would be more unique then Torq Thrust II that everybody and their brother in the mini scene has. Also, a good quote I like is "Imitation is the scincerest form of flattery".

I liked the wheels, and looked at others.

Guess I'll search some more!

 

slamdtaco they only came silver, and with a semi polished finish from the factory.

And all I'm saying, is try to use your imagination like I did to find something unique. I've heard that saying before, but still.

 

Someone asked for a lifted picture, soo...

This is 100 lbs all around, about 10 inches at the bottom of the frame.

Also cleaned up the driveshaft and put it in.


And got the inside of the cab and the back wall coated in Por 15.

I think it looks really good. Once its dry I'll lay down the seam sealer, and put down some sound deadener.

And all thats left now before the cab can go on, is putting the fuel and brake lines on!

 

flippin kickass dude!

 

Thanks man.


I got this sweet billet water pump pulley today.

 

that thing is ****ing sick good job your making good progress on this thing

 

i was looking at your upper control arms are those uniballs or balljoint?

 

Screw in balljoint.

 

Props man. Great job, one of my favorite Yotas and it isn't even done yet

 

man seth you are killing it! great progress! your truck is coming together very nicely! i love the wheels too. are you going to take your truck to drop zone?

 

updates? truck is really coming together nicely.

 

I don't have anything cool to update. Just ran brake and fuel lines. Going to put all the fluids in today now that I have my speed sleeve. Thats about all.


Drop Zone, I will drive my truck there if at all possible. Depends on where I'm at then, but probably.

 

hey, atleast its progress right.

 

Yeah, just not worth taking pictures of.

 

i was looking at the exhaust did you wrap the exhaust so that the heat dont affect the airbag and shocks?

 

That was the goal with doing it. I doubt it would have gotten hot enough to affect the bags or shock, but I felt better about doing it that way. While the trucks running you can grab that part of the exhaust, and its just mildly warm. Stuff works pretty well.


Motor is full of oil, and all my pulleys and belts are on. I think it looks really clean. And there will be no clutch fan.

 

super badass!
