Got the new 39.5 Super Swampers TrXsus tires and 20 inch Weld Racing EVO wheels finally. Had to lift the Avi 3 more inches to fit the tires thou but it still rides good and looks way higher now. Still trying to get the front bars and rear bars to fit back on thou but I'm sure it'll be a few weeks before they go back on.

One more pics... Also had to add mud flaps since I have 3 tickets for not having them that I need to get signed off... Used plexi glass for the flaps and it works great.

Usually I don't take the truck out to much during the summer months here in So. Cal since everywhere we go is usually hot as hell and most weekends there are tons of shows and other things going on....


I will have it back off roading soon thou. I just repainted all the fenders for these shows since they were all torn up from off-roading. The front two had to be sent out to be plastic welded since they were the ones that got the most damage when romping the truck off-road and turning... So I wanna keep it looking good for the summer shows than it's back to the off-roading and romping......

THat looks bad @ss but im not a fan of the rims. just personal preference though. looks nice!

Str8Wicked

Well the rims aren't amde to look like traditonal 20 inch wheels you'd put on lets say a lowered truck. They were made really straight and plain to keep the overall off-road look.

But like you said, wheels are personal preference

He hasn't tried.. I just throw him up inside... Before it had the larger tires and lift he used to like climb the truck up in to it. He climb those side steps as if they are monkey bars at a playground..... lol


I'm sure he'll find a way like he always does....

Hey, Str8wicked I have a quastion about my system or all systems in general. I had my system professionsly installed by a really good friend of my dads who has been in the biz for 12 years. He didnt want to do my car because he said they are to hard to take apart(audi) but he did it anyway. Well I was driving down the road today and for the past week I have smelt sommin funny commin out my dash and sure enough today smoke comes pouring out while I was bumping to "Get Low" buy LIL jon. It is deff. my system because nottin happins when the system isnt on. now the system will turn on randomly and just do a really low bass hit for about 3 seconds than turn of and repete its self over and over.The guy is fixing ti for free but I am just curoius to know what is srong with my car. Any help would me appreciated.

I am retty sure i shorted sommin but why would it do that?

BTW nice avalanch. How much did u get for than van u did a while back?

If it's getting a real low bass sound with no music and your music was turning off and on it sounds like you have problems with power to the amp. Most likely the ground came loose. The low bass sound you are getting is most likely the distortion you that is being amplified from the bad ground. Your lucky the amps didn't blow. I've blown a few this way by accident when I was younger but the older amps were a lot easier to blow up than the new ones are.

Just my opinion. I'm not a professional on systems or anything...

The mud flaps close up. The mounts were made for jeeps by Offroad Innovations ( www.trailflap.com ) , but I liked that they had quick disconnect pins to remove them in seconds. The flap of coarse I made which is a 1/4 thick plexiglass sheet which holds up really nice and the good thing is you don't even notice them really.

Here is the tire back side. Since the wheels were 16 inches wide I had to put spacer to get them out a bit. I got them from MC motorsports sinc ehtere spacer are known to be the best and strongest. Rock crawlers and a few series Off-roaders use them with no breakage that I have ever seen.

I meant the tires were 16 inches wide, the wheels are 20x10 for now but they are making me a set that are 20x12 which I should have at the end of the year. The tires are 39.5x16x20 Super Swamper TrXsus. I don't think they are even selling this size in the open market yet but they should hit the stores very soon if they haven't already.

Woops forgot the pic... It was taken behind Olds Hill in Glamis where everyone launches. You rarely see any big trucks up there since you have to hit some weird angled dunes and most are scared to truck anywhere that ain't flat...
