Looks like you created more room to move the bumps up.

One Piece at a Time: My 1985 Diesel Suburban
- Thread starter AgDieseler
- Start date
About 1". I have to change the shock ends back to standard length.
Just got the call from the warehouse, and there are two fresh stacks of 40s from Maxxis and a bunch of Racelines boxes.
Suburban gets the gold.
ORD GMC gets the silver.
I'll get all these mounted and balanced tomorrow.

Using weights or beads?
Dang it, not only are you going with a similar paint color but you also got the same colors wheels I want. 
Tape weights have worked really well so far, so that’s the plan.
The rest of the bumper materials arrived.
Truck in daylight.
Color is next week. Kris agreed to film it since Kurt and I are headed to BB.

Dude I’m pretty sure a buddy and I are going to be there this year!
Let me know, we should start a thread for this instead of posting here.
Do you happen to have any pictures or videos of them cutting and sectioningthe fenders? I know that you said that they used an AMD and the factory fender to do this. I just came in from looking at my front quarter panels to see what I would need to do.
Thanks

Since I am not a perfectionist I will be cutting the opening I need then forming some electrical conduits to the shape and welding it on for an easy fast clean look
A fair bit. There are some stills farther back here, and this is my favorite:
I suggest setting the profile based on your specific tire and offset. Mine is a 40 on a 3.5” BS wheel.

Drew barn door inserts. Should fit a quart of oil, or something else about 4-1/4" deep.

That’s a great idea, I bet you could sell those easily.
Yeah, our conversion vehicles alway had similar pockets but made from wood.
Very handy for a bunch of small stuff
Making both sides identical, which lowers the per piece cost on SendCutSend marketplace.
Meanwhile, ready for an AM weld sesh’. This one gets coffee.

We're getting into the details that need to stay confidential to CK5. The wider world can wait.

Loving those stock wheel openings 
Color is the bomb. Can't wait to see it in person, in Nov.

LOVE the color, I want it... You literally hit the nail on the color for what I wanted to paint mine for the past 15 years.
