not once a month. I just replaced the hubs which is the most expensive part about 140 a side and the bearings and seals for the rear are less than 20$...maybe every 50k? I pretty much work to support my terrible truck addiction. I need help.

I don't know if you've taken in to account but I want to throw it out there. Some states don't allow you to have your tires protruding from the fender so you will probably need fender flares.

As far as a build, everyone has their opinion but stick with yours lol. Once you build your truck for someone else to like you will regret it. I may not like that much offset on wheels or super wide tires, but hey, it's not my build. If you like it that's all that counts.

yea where im at in florida kids run straight pipes that clap extremly loud and one truck by where i work at... His tires and wheels are completley out of the fender well and cops never bug them so thats not an issue here but eventually i want to have a race truck and a lifted truck but ive already started the lifted one so the racer will come later i reckon! Btw do you know anything on the 717 model like i have?
