Everything I read the AT4 front wheel opening is smaller than the TB... FYI

Thanks! That's what I have read and did not want to take a chance. I order a set of the Falken Wildpeaks in the 275/70r18 size as I didn't want any chance of rubbing. Those 295/70s look so good though!

Question.  First off, love it!

 

35x12.5x22 tire?  Did they rub before leveling?

I didn’t have them on before the level.  Truck has the 2” trailboss lift and 2”level.  They still rubbed slightly, but trimmed a little of the inner fender liner.  You can’t tell really.

This is my 2nd favorite setup on here...  love

it.  Did it mess up handling?  Any more pics please?? 

 

Good job man

 

Thanks man! Sorry it’s taken me awhile to get back.  No difference with handling that I can tell. Recently painted the calipers red, and the exhaust tips black. And painted the bow tie on the wheels black, but kept the chrome surround of the emblem.  Also custom made some guard out of the original mud guards/flaps. They essentially just follow the contours of the body and don’t hang down now.

 

also just finished ceramic coating it today.  Going to ceramic coat the wheels and the grill, and then everything on it will be coated.

How did you custom make the mud guards?

LOL.  Interesting as I've NEVER been thought of like that.  I'm very proud of my carbon footprint.  The bigger the better.  If you look at my avatar you'll see my street car toy is a C7 Z06 with many track based performance enhancements.  I also race sport cars across the country at a semi-professional level and am licensed by three sanctioning bodies, PCA, NASA and SCCA.  Semi-pro being I drive for free and all expenses covered.  Current race car is a 997.2 911 Turbo fullt race prepped.
 
You REALLY know how to hurt me.  I won't even get in a Prius.  Never have, never will.

Cut the part that hangs down off.  Then using a 3D pen mold it, to make a long story short. Add in a few rounds of sanding, then paint.  It took a little bit, but wasn’t hard.  I have a 3D printer and thought about designing one but decided not too.  They’ve held up fine for the last few months.  I built them pretty strong.

295/70r18 Falken Wildpeak AT3W. Fit perfect, can just make them touch the wheel liners at full lock in reverse over a big dip at ~15mph. Besides that no issues whatsoever.

Installed 35x12.50x18 supposedly 34.6" on my stock TB just now. No rubbing at all on pavement and speed bumps on my way home. Installing a leveling kit next week because my TB has a 3' rakedf4a5fbda4061ca9de3b8ee7494ba08d.jpg07b222973f846b86c1d552e3f8310b5e.jpg6e51a4e9022849a0ae5ba4f8a9c8384b.jpg9a2ad4a711d68f99c74680a3f4c97b42.jpg7f1493fddfce496e3f804536b453c152.jpg497707e3ac45de688e0d615a28aeaec4.jpg

Measured the new tires. Not even a 34" on stock TB 18s with 41psi warm. That final picture is stock Duratracs next to 60% 33x13.50x15 swamper LTBs on 15x10s.c789600cdad269d1af94b695d50e5156.jpg0b2f20843ce6ee149b82b673a2efdffc.jpg4801b8fa57a1688f4216da4222cdaeba.jpg

To get the true size of your new federal 35s you have to measure from side to side.

    • I was around and remember that era very well, so I'm calling b/s on that statement. If they were that bad no police department or taxi company would've bought a single one ... but they were used in both services (and fire) for DECADES. They were bulletproof and proven. Even the early 21st century ones weren't too bad! The early models were legendary.   Mine is proof, but people like atlas are blinded by agenda and refuse to believe facts right before their very eyes.   Even decades after they were built, a new generation started driving them, posting all their builds and shenanigans on Grandmarq.net and Crownvic.net. The failures would show up then, since they all were deep past 100k-150k miles by that point, and younger drivers tend to be a little aggressive, especially with vehicles than can lay a one-tire fire for as long as you hold your foot in it. They've more than proven themselves over the decades.   The only thing that'll really take them out is road salt. The bodies and sheet metal were garbage. A victim of the cheapout FoMoCo and GM have been partaking in before then, and since.   Today it's the stuff that counts - the undercarriage that rots away first!    GMs Caprice was no slouch either. Reliable as a stone ax - the opposite of what they build now.    
    • Let me know how your vehicles do in 10 years. You don't know ******, kid. 😂    There's a reason that Panther platform was used as police, fire, and taxi service for DECADES ... long before you were born, apparently.
    • If your connector also has a big lever to get the connector on and off, you don't want to force the lever either way, as it becomes a bigger problem if you bust the lever or the mechanism it works.
    • It's just useful to disconnect the battery to prevent odd shorting out when unplugging/plugging stuff together.  I also  touch the two cable ends together (after disonnecting) to drain the small amount of stored battery energy in various modules.   I believe the main system where you need to be more concerned with, so you need to do the above and then wait some time, iss when you are working on the air bag system, to prevent inadvertent firing of the air bags.   The in-cab switches are just that, plain switches, it's generally not a problem to swap them in/out.  For my '12, I'll get an error message on the dash if I power up the truck w them unplugged, but that's it (power up= turn the ignition on).   The ITBC located above the spare tire is a computer that manages the trailer brake system.  That is probably more important to have the battery disconnected.  It does have to be programmed to the truck, either before or after it's installed, for it to work.  For my '12, I had a very hard time reinstalling the main connector to it (IDK if yours is the same or not), it turned out the silicon seal was jamming up, preventing it from going on all the way.  I finally got it fully installed by lubing the seal with a bit of dielectric grease, then it slid on and latched in place easily.
    • JR ! I just got the truck back from the Dealership today . The technician did a cold remote start on the truck this morning and it made the noise . It was determined that it was a starter issue and replaced it under warranty . Of course   it did not make the sound after a new starter was put in because the truck was not cold . We will we see what happens tomorrow morning when I start the truck cold  . Keep tuned !   Oh I found a video on YouTube of a cold start and it did the same thing your truck and mine do , I will see if I can find it and post it up
