The build/re-build of Gruff

Yup - the 13.5's were actually $20 cheaper than the 12.5's. I'm really liking these tires as well!
Was hoping to have gotten all 4 done yesterday but the first one I tried to mount was my first go around with beadlocks.
Probably being overly cautious but better safe than sorry I guess...
 
Got er done

Got the last wheel mounted up last night!

Supposed to be nice tomorrow. Maybe I'll take a couple poser photos.
 
Thanks! I am soooo glad I got these tires. I can't believe how quiet these are. Granted, they are brand new, but they are half as loud as my Pro Comps were.
Gonna try to get them dirty this weekend...
 
Weekend projects

Didn't get out as planned this weekend but did get some things accomplished. The red inner fenders really showed up after I trimmed my fenders - especially the rears, so I sprayed some bedliner to blend it in.
Not much of a change on the fronts but since I was doing the rears, figured what the hell. Also got two of my 3 skids on. Ran out of time with the trans skid so I'll do that this week.

I'm digging the polished wheels

Thanks! I've been leaning to the polished wheels for a while. Glad I ran the black, which I still think looks good. What pushed me to the polished
Was the fact that I grew up in the 70's when Centerline wheels really were popular and pretty much everyone ran them in the drag racing scene back then.
The guy I helped in the pits ran them and I always loved that look.
 
Thanks! I have thoroughly enjoyed the whole build(s). Everything good I've learned has come through this community.
 
New mascot sticker

My daughter finished up our Gruff mascot sticker last week. I scanned it in & sent off to get stickers made up and put them on today. Been waiting to put my other WAL stickers on with it since ordering those last October.

That is a nice stance. Why did you go with spacers when your rims already had a decent amount of backspacing? And what size spacer did you go with?
