Project update

We got a tremendous amount of things accomplished this week.  A fender flare was installed, the stock exhaust has been reworked to be more off-road friendly and the transfer case has been locked. Yes you read correctly Locked with a capital L!

The front fender on the driver side was getting the most abuse from the 33in tires so we started there. The grinder made quick work of the little trimming needed on the aluminum fender.

With a little bit of adjustment to the cutouts around the body lines the flares fit the P38 fairly easy.

The D2 flares were not quite big enough to house the Nittos. We needed to stretch them another inch or so at the bottom. To do this we took a heat gun and massaged  the lower corner a little bit to extend the flare out.

We are all  happy with the end results even know these flares were not intended for the P38. They gave us the added room we needed to fit the larger tires and now all we have to do is trim back the sliders.

I know what you're saying all this could be avoided if we just would've stuck with 32in tires but it would not be a true Lucky8 truck unless it was on at least 33's
