Starting to finish up. They mounted the new Glassworks Unlimited fenders and started painting before final assembly on Friday!

Are those new 5 lug wheels and some 35'' rubbers in the background by any chance?

Not mine, though I'm actually contemplating changing to a lug circle that has a few more choices. The 5 on 135s have a very limited selection, and are kind of weak. 35" are in the near future to replace the 285 rubber I have now. Kind of interested to see how small they look with the new fenders. The ride hight should be the same as before, but the track increases 4" per side and the cut out on the fenders is 3" higher.

Yeah, I'm not really sure what ford was thinking when they went to 5x135mm, they should've either just stuck with the previous lug pattern or went ahead and did the 6x135mm on these trucks. What lug pattern were you thinking about going too?

Either 5 on 5.5" or 6 on 135 depending on what I can find for front hubs, though someone told me I might be able to get Method to make me some wheels custom, or maybe if I can get a small group together they'd make a small run for us.

I know a lot of companies will either send you blanks or custom drill them to your bolt pattern if you ask them. The only downside is it normally cost more... I think blanks are more common though.

Here are some lousy pics I took with my phone, more and better pics coming, I promise. No it doesn't lean, it just looks a little like it, the parking lots is sloped.







The shell and fenders need to be painted to match the rest of the truck, but I think it's looking pretty good, and glad I paid a little extra to get the fenders gel-coated in black.

I think the cut of the front fenders gives the illusion of leaning too. Looking good though.
