Default Mecha's Build

OK so I am mid build. Just thought I would post some pictures. More to Come.


Added some Raptor Running Boards. Got new tires ready to get installed on some 2013 Raptor Wheels I have in my shed.


Before Raptor Running Boards.






After Installation of Raptor Running Boards








The Tires are General Grabbers AT2 I bought from Tirebuyer.com I got a discount through work so why not. 315/70R17 D rated Tires.





The Front Set of Tires are for my Wife's Mustang GT 255/40R19 Pirelli's We got her tires from SimpleTire.com another great store.

Looks awesome! You were able to fit the 315s before you leveled the truck?

Honestly, it worked fine rolling forward.
For some odd reason I only rubbed in reverse and on Right side only in a tight turn backing up.

I am not impressed with the leveling kit.
I may remove it.

Putting fender flares on today.
Non rainy day here in Seattle.
