I say Aqua as well, if you cut less to start with you will only have to go back and do it properly later :!:

Post by **mike** » Fri Apr 13, 2007 8:19 pm

Definitely aqua, cause it just makes sense. remember less is more and you wont get the mug on any other colour :wink:

Gotts be aqua. Anything less would look silly with the amount of room at front.

unfortunatly i have to agree with everyone else..... even tho i hate the look of it on that green truck it just makes sence :roll:

... im having the same dilema

or red line looks ok...thats my vote :wink:

Madaz · Post by **Madaz** » Fri Apr 13, 2007 9:17 pm

Nah man , cut on the red line and have alook at it in the flesh :idea:

( It will be a bitch to weld back on if you dont like it :impactwhore:)

lilpigzuk · Post by **lilpigzuk** » Fri Apr 13, 2007 9:22 pm

Wheres the pink option??

Im with Madaz. Go the Red (how the fark did you pick your colours bro?? :lol:

). Rather cut off a little then cut some more. Are you really going too be able too turn those tyres with your big block diesel??

lilpigzuk · Post by **lilpigzuk** » Fri Apr 13, 2007 9:26 pm

Go the red and fill in some of the front. Assume you are going too run 35" max not those 37" (assuming thats what they are?? :oops:

) Keep it looking in proportion.... I reckon the gap at the front is too big now

hosehustler · Post by **hosehustler** » Fri Apr 13, 2007 9:29 pm

Your beastie is lookin' tops Nib, just a side note, you can't get cert without a balance report on the modified driveshafts, circle track engineering will do it for ya :mrgreen:

My vote is to RED line, Daddy told me never to go over red line, it's there for a reason

plus looks sexy Nibs

MNC · Post by **MNC** » Fri Apr 13, 2007 9:30 pm

Put me down for the Red Line. Although it doesnt seam to go all the way down?

Thats the cut I`ll be doing - want to keep the curve in the back corner to retain some of the original style and for strenght. :wink:

lilpigzuk · Post by **lilpigzuk** » Fri Apr 13, 2007 9:35 pm

I think thats enough responses. Anymore and he will think people actually care about his yota

My guess is they are 39.5"s.

I sence CV snappy badness :shock:

Unless some longfields on their way :?:

hey nibs,

I don't know if you are using the same size wheels/tyres as rok.....but to me it looks like with the distance between the front of the rear guard and the tyre is massive........and so if you don't take much out of the rear of the rear guard to compensate it will just look silly......like you have mounted the wheel too far back on the springs.......

I vote the blue line.

why so little up-travel?

even tho i hate the look of it on that green truck

same, it looks sh!te.....like the rear axle should possibly be further towards the rear.

my 16c worth.

rokhound · Post by **rokhound** » Fri Apr 13, 2007 9:49 pm

Go the Aqua Nibbs.

YOU NEED MORE HORSEPOWERS!!!!!!!!!! The big block 3.4 just aint gonna do it man. I have nigh on 190hp pushing those swampers, and it aint enough. 80 hp of hustling 3.4 sure aint gonna cut it. You need lots of grunty low end torque and quite a bit of HP as well. Gearing will only go so far man, and I think you may be asking a bit much. Just do it now, will save a lot of work in the long run.
Failing that, look at some of those smaller tyres (35's, 36's etc) :wink:

lilpigzuk · Post by **lilpigzuk** » Fri Apr 13, 2007 10:18 pm

cmon Rok, any more than 35s on SPOA is gonna look like the hell mall cruiser....or is that what he wants

35" an fill in the guards at the front by how much you take outta the rear. Shit if you want more power I may do a deal of a quality brand 3.9V8 :lol:

Nib needs nothing less than a 350 so the other brand engine can go to turoa :wink:

did you not see the laughing emotican??!! as if he would double the value of his truck with some quality power..... :lol:

No Tu's Im not selling unless my toy doesnt work with its current powerplant, then its on TM with a $1 reserve. But thats another thread, not allowed too hijack this one :wink:

Back too the Nibbys ghey rainbow lines

rokhound · Post by **rokhound** » Fri Apr 13, 2007 11:11 pm

Don't know about the 3.9 Lilpig, but the injected '8 in your SS may just be the ticket. :wink:

Iv,e tried to snaffle H20's 304, but every time he spots the the 3b that Nibby and I are trying to fit :lol:

(what the hell is wrong with the man) :roll:

Oh and Nib, Rex thinks your truck will look gay with big boots, Bugger! :roll:

SupraLux · Post by **SupraLux** » Sat Apr 14, 2007 9:55 am

The red cut would be my opinion... then take the piece you cut, walk around the other side and fizz it on the front of the whel arch for a little balance

Its looking good... just hurry up or I'll bring the 9" round and give you a hand

red, still retains some of the origional factory lines.

billyvanboheman · Post by **billyvanboheman** » Sat Apr 14, 2007 7:43 pm

I am sooooooooooo lucky, My better half was out this afternoon and spotted a 40 that had been raised and guards cut, it was done to about the red line area that Nibs had shown, and she said it looked unballanced, when you take into acount the lines of the front guard she reckons it would look better in the aqua area to balance the whole side.

Geeee she's great!!!

meatc · Post by **meatc** » Mon Apr 16, 2007 10:31 pm

go the aqua. You just know that youll get sick of no up travel and coil it for max articulation :evil:

One big cut know one less thing to do later

callum007 · Post by **callum007** » Tue Apr 17, 2007 7:31 am
