Doghows LUBR build (Update 3/20/17)

doghows72 · Dec 16, 2014

Please do. I found trim rings to fit my 17's but haven't decided for sure on the center caps. I figure with the chrome bumpers, and headlight trim rings I need a bit down on the wheels.
I've admired the Ketchup bronco on the LUBR thread and it has the rings and caps. Love to see yours as well. Thanks

Nice !

Start a thread about the falcon !
And post the link here

If you want to see more of the Falcon go to Rainierfalcons.com and look up the thread reconstruction has begun. It under the show off your ride heading.
Now back to the Bronco, tires ordered, and the glass has been ordered as well. Hopefully both will be done before weeks end. I'm ready to drive this critter!!

The only thing worse than a teaser pic is when you DON'T snap a few when you get home!

Don't keep us in suspense!!! Pics PLEASE;D

Still waiting

^^^x2^^^. Are those the same wheel Ass Monkeys put on their build?

drock · Dec 20, 2014

Those are the same Dodge wheels Gas Monkey used on their build. Maybe we will get some pictures of the new tires today...

doghows72 · Dec 20, 2014

They will belated today. I had a small emergency last night and just got home from the vets this am. Out to the shop in about an hour or so.
Trust me I'm jonesing as bad as you guys to see them on the truck!! Sorry for the delay lol.

doghows72 · Dec 20, 2014

Ok sorry for the delay, all emergencies have been dealt with and I got out to the shop. Here you go.
Spec again are 2.5SL and 1"BL. Wheels are 17x7 dodge steel with 4.5" BS tires are BFG KM2's 265x70x17. Basically it's a 32x10x17. What a think!!
Trim rings? Center caps?

I get a small rub on the radius arm at full lock, i think i will adjust the stops out and be done!

drock · Dec 20, 2014

Looks awesome! Guess I might have to go in search of a set of those wheels for my LUBER. I'm sure caps/trim rings would finish off those wheels even more. Looking forward to the rest of your build.

miikee73 · Dec 20, 2014

Good choice. Looks like a nice day in the "blue hole",not so much here.

JSmall · Dec 20, 2014

I would leave them as is. They look so good! I might need to get the wheel specs for my LUBR ;D

gnsteam · Dec 20, 2014

I like it, looks great as they are. However I'm curious to see how they look with rings and cap. One of my favorite half cabs was Ketchup with it's ring and caped wheels.

Great build, I'm looking forward to seeing your progress.

Here's my set with caps/rings and just rings. Planning to paint the center section (around the FORD letters the same color as the wheels.

Scoop · Dec 20, 2014

Looks really good. Nice stance. I'm thinking just the center caps will look great. Problem is if you try putting on either the center caps or the rings there's no going back. You'll end up with mounting holes or scratched powder coat if you decide you don't like them.

The trim ring definitely scratches. Ask how I know ^^^^

Just caps...

doghows72 · Dec 20, 2014

The good news is if I do the rings or caps and scratch them I own the powder coat shop so I'll just do them again. I have done rings before and they didn't scratch up the powder? There were a few small scuffs but they buffed out with a mild car compound.
Thanks for the pics I think I will definitely go with rings. Unsure about center caps but who knows. Maybe I'll borrow some and see what they look like before I spend more money!

doghows72 · Jan 4, 2015

Well got the front glass installed today. Went with the grey tint. Still working n a sliding back window but we have a plan. I'll keep you posted!
