Pretty Much Done (New Pics of 33s)

[Brandon X]

What's up guys, haven't really been around much lately but I do still have the Tahoe and im basically done with the modding and stuff. It's by far not what wanted to end up with, but oh well. Took off the 6s (they are for sale) and got some Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs in 33x12.50r15 and put em around my soft 8's. Had to do a little trimming with a sawzaw but now there's no rubbing and you can't even tell I had to trim.

I love these tires though. Aggressive all-terrain and they are very quiet. A lot of siping and we've had a little snow so far and they were awesome in it. Anyways here are some pics.

You confuse me, stick with the sixes!

For the love of GOD PLEASE FIX the rust its an eye sore! You are very handy! Love your drive and work ethic...just a lil sand paper and spray your good!

holy crap that rust sucks. thank god i live in bone dry tx

Truck looks sweet as ****, get that rust fixed before it takes over. That needs to be priority #1.

Like I said you guys im done with it. I don't even care enough to take a brush and just paint over the rust. At one point I did want this thing rust-free (or atleast as close as I can get it) and if you remember I had a bunch of body work done but the guy apparently didn't know wtf he was doing and it all came back. I drive it every day and I live in Michigan so im done dumping money into a car unless its a summer car.

Sounds like somebodys having a bad day (week/month/year?) Don't give up on the hoe man its great! It's just paint man, not too horribly hard to get right. Or atleast just to get rid of the rust.

dude, i know you already spent some money on trying to get it right, but it's not worth just throwing your hands up and saying eff it, let the rust take over. i know it's gonna be an ongoing battle, seeing how you have to deal with salt every winter, but it's "cheaper to keep her" than letting it go to schitt and rust through. any vehicle you get, as long as you're dealing with michigan winters, is gonna face old man winter every year. i'd much rather see you fix it every winter than just letting it roll. but then again, i don't battle salt on the road every year like you. think i like it better on the big meat than the 26's, hate to tell ya. but opinions are like a$$holes... lookin good

You'll spend the money for new 33's, but the money to solve your rust problem?

Different strokes for different folks I guess . . .

 

[bowtiefreak]

looking good, I didn't like the big wheels. Where you live this is the best set up

 

[foreverfalcon40]

Just finish your swap

Yeah, the 33s will stay on until I sell and I had 26s on it, what do you want me to do keep driving on the 6s through winter? lol

Fixing the rust would cost thousands. I'd have to get new front fenders both sides, find new barn doors with the hinges and everything, get all that shit painted, and then do something with the rust on the bottom of my doors. Oh and also fix the rust on my hood. All to keep driving it in Michigan winters? Yeah I don't think so.

Love the new wheels and tire. Rust is whatever to me simple fix but eh... the 26's just are not my style but this look has way more swag. to me big rims equal little... well yeah. Rugged looking tahoe but not to overdone.

You know what sucks. He gets some new shoes and wants to show them off and all you guys can bring up is the rust.





Looks good man.





Know, lets all get together and have a group hug

Damn.... looks a hell of a lot better with the new rim/tire set up. Excellent choice in tire too !!! I got 'em in 35's on mine, and they're great.

Yea, rust is a ******..... looks like one last mod to do and then your done....

thats pretty nice with 33`s i wish i could do that with mine but im waiting till spring hopefully

 

[bigfeet]

Bro, you gotta find a cool bodyman and make friends with him, I'm serious. you don't need new doors, etc. just weld in some new metal. I just had my barn door and drivers door done. Not a big deal or big money. If you did that and removed the front valance truck would be awsome. 33's look great.

I spend alot of time reading posts instead of posting but I wanted to say how much more I like your hoe now, its more aggressive and less hip-hop. Good change and more practical in my opinion.

 

[Brandon X]

Thanks guys.
