The Project Pad

Nice work!

I hadn't gotten a chance to read through this because of the daunting amount of updates and limited time to look at them, but now that I have, this thing is freaking sick!! Keep up the awesome work man! I wish I had half the fab skills you do.

its kind of hard to say based on how you mount them. they naturally sit (height vs width) rather flat and wide, but the bottom of the flare extensions can be brought towards each other to "shorten" the wheel well and they will sit significantly farther outboard. but id say they are good for about 2.5"F, 3.0"Rear

thanks, and nope, no shop. I do some work for a few forum members now and then, but mostly just working on the beast

Fuck.

I spat oatmeal on my keyboard I LOLd so hard.

Haven't forgotten, got busy.

All the gaps will be covered with tape or fire caulk. I used aluminum tape to get through rally idaho but cleaned it off to use fire caulk. (Thanks for the motivation)

Just ran a half or 3/8 square tube as a support.
