February 28, 201115 yr Howdy y'all, been here for a bit and never had any pics...here's some. a pic of when I bought it (after I got it running haha), and then a couple pics showing what happens to a frontend when pullin a dukes of hazard moment (not enough sleep + deer = d'oh!)
February 28, 201115 yr Author and this is her back together. total frontend rebuild, obviously:banana: 6 lug hubs and isuzu wheels with 195x75-14 BFG ATs. no lift. took a little sawzall work to let it all fit cuz the wheels have less offset than the little 13s did. took over 3" from the front fenders, and just about 1.5" from the rear. even at full turn it has full articulation, so I'm happy with it!
February 28, 201115 yr That job doesnt look too bad. I know someone with an EA82T sedan that has 205/75/15s on it but the fenders were cut by previous owner and from a distance (and up close obviously) you can tell the hack job was terrible. Yours looks clean. Nice job!
March 6, 201115 yr It does look pretty good. That job doesnt look too bad. I know someone with an EA82T sedan that has 205/75/15s on it but the fenders were cut by previous owner and from a distance (and up close obviously) you can tell the hack job was terrible. Yours looks clean. Nice job! I have 235 75 15's on mine and i wish it looked that good. It doesnt look terrible but it doesnt look as natural as that.
March 6, 201115 yr Looks much better, at first I didn't even realize the fenders were cut! Nice x2! Me likes!
March 6, 201115 yr I normally don't like hood pins, but in your case, i almost would recommend you install some.
March 7, 201115 yr Author I normally don't like hood pins, but in your case, i almost would recommend you install some. oh man I know! I was thinking of pinning it with some decent poly Protofabs, but...I don't really care all that much I guess. it latches! and it adds to it's character! thanks y'all for the props on my trim job. I actually took the time to measure it all out, and took my time to keep it all consistent. even my wife came out afterwards and said, "I thought you were going to cut the fenders?" ha!
