Anxious to see the outcome. I have a carbonized gray big Bend with the optional 18s. Getting 265 60r18 tires mounted soon and not sure if I want the machined look or if I want to get them powdercoated black.
Were the valkerie brackets a 1 person install or did you need someone holding the hood in place while you bolted them in? I was going to do this today and wasn't sure if the hood was light enough to support yourself while installing them. Also haven't looked to see if the BS is as accessory...
This is why I'm not looking to alter the pinch welds. It is trimming and not completely cutting through but I prefer to not do it if at all possible. I'm curious if the trimming is necessary due to full articulation for more aggressive off roading, or if driving on soft sand on the beach and...
I'm debating between the 265 60r18 and the 265 65r18. The 265 65 is close to the 255 70r17 (.5 inch larger). I do just Highway and beach driving. Nothing crazy but the sand at the beach is pretty soft so it's a bumpy ride. Is it 100% necessary to remove the carpet and trim the pinch weld...
I believe some of the pics of the BS www.fordrangerlifts.com are running 255 75r17 which is a 32 inch tire if I'm not mistaken. There is some trimming involved for them. But the pics are on there to see.
The pic from that Instagram post is the 265 60r18 which is about 31 inches
According to this instagram post. The 265 60r18 fits with no trimming on the 2 inch lift. Ive been toying with the idea of the 265 65r18 (32 inch diameter) but not sure I want to go with the trimming route and potential for rubbing.
There's also video of this truck running through sand and...
For those of you with the stock moonroof, have you used any crossbars and baskets other than the oem crossbars? I'd like a lower profile basket and bar option but don't want to lose the functions of my sunroof. I carry a lot on my roof when taking my trucks to the beach for the day. (Fishing...
I like the glass hatch opening so that side ladder will be an awesome product if it works out. There's no good spot to step on the truck to access the roof basket at the moment. The bumper seems useless and the tires and door jamb are all there really is. I like to carry wood, fishing poles, my...
Liking the ladder. No worries with the ladder denting the quarter panels once you put your weight on it? Any pics of how you have your awning attached. I have the same awning that I pulled from my xterra when I sold it. Miss my Gobi ladder from that truck!
Put my deposit down on a carbonized gray big bend last night! Picking it up tomorrow. Looking forward to being here and seeing what everyone else is doing with their BS. Do a lot of beach driving so I'm sure there will be some mods to make it more capable. I'm coming from an older xterra...
