Got the bed bolted back on today..........went pretty well. I'm sure enjoying the air conditioner I put in a few weeks ago......just run it when I'm working out there.....
Tomorrow I'll re-wire the lights and install the tailgate. 'Bout time for a drive.
Allen, there's room for a lot more tire. I'm running 255-75-15s now, which are about 10.5" wide.........I think I could probably go as wide as 13", but will have a problem with the emergency brake cables. They are routed into the front of the calipers.......needless to say the new wheels will have quite a bit of backspacing for that............tomorrow I'll try to get a good picture of the tire in the well from underneath........

Looking good! It's almost time to let all the smoke out of those tires so you can buy wider ones!Chris - HRPT Long Haul 03, 04, 05, 13, 14, 15,16 & 18

Good day today........
Got toolbox:
Got lights:
Got room for much larger tires. The brake lines are not an issue at all, but I'll have to come up with another plan for emergency brakes if I use a new wheel/tire combo that is more than about 2" wider.
~~All backspacing as you can see, unless I widen the stepside fenders.......there is about 3-3/4" to 4" between the tire and wheel housings. About the same too the spring'
Flying tomorrow, but maybe Wednesday I'll get the toolbox mounted.Last edited by oletrux4evr; August 25, 2014, 06:43 PM.Ed, Mary, & 'Earl'

On second thought, I could always upgrade to a different rear end/brake combo.........hmmmmmm................Last edited by oletrux4evr; August 25, 2014, 07:30 PM.Ed, Mary, & 'Earl'
