Project Second Strike-----my REDEMPTION build

[Strokersace]

They aren't terrible. I installed a set on an 04 cc this past spring and I was pleased with the fit and finish. Matched the 99-07 perfectly. I'm going to order another 2 sets for my 08 and my Dad's 10. I got them through Summit Racing.

Ok people its time for new wheels. Ive narrowed it to the Fuel Maverick black and milled or the Ballistic Razorback. Cant decide on width/offset. I want the wheel to finish flush with the fender of the truck above the wheel or maybe out a half an inch at most. That way just the bulge of the sidewall is hanging out or a little tread. Will the 20x10 w -12 put me where i want to be or do I need the 20x9 and I think they are a 0 offset. Ive found a few pics online but no good shots of how far the stuff hangs out. Thanks in advance and any pics will be appreciated.

Here are the wheels. What yall think?

 

[107stroker]

Heck I may even like a wide wheel tucked under the truck but all of the wide wheels are offset for the lifted trucks. Talked to a company about making some one offs and he hit me around $4500. I almost passed out. But he said no one would have the same wheels....lol

mavericks look nicer and a 20 x 9 0 offset will put the tire flush with the fender. 10 wide -12 offset will stick it out about an inch.

What do you plan on doing with the widened rear wheels?

No idea. May keep them for some slicks to play with.

I bought a BD tap shifter and got it installed this afternoon. Really nice kit they put together. Install went smooth and now I can shift as I see fit. It has a seven pre programmed shifting options which is pretty cool. So while I was under the truck doing the wiring I seen the tail shaft seal leaking so I guess thats whats on for tomorrow afternoon. Either paint or wheels are next. More to come. opcorn:

What color are you going going with? Or are you sticking with white?

I haven't fully decided yet. If not white it will be some shade of silver. Not a dark grey or a bright silver something in the middle w plenty of pearl/flake in it.

trans time

Prob gonna do a trans rebuild or upgrade to new. Can I buy what is needed to build a solid trans because i have a great trans shop in town. I just want the good stuff the first round. Or will I be ahead to buy one already done. and where to get the parts or the whole trans. Let me know what yall think.:swordfight:

I'll give him a shout and see what he suggests. I'm a dealer for a few diesel supply houses but I really want a great product and tech help if needed.

How hard is the 5r110 to swap? Just ordered a rebuilt one w billet goodies and converter from precision. Do I install myself or pay the local guy?

 

[C2tuck]

How much the local guy want to charge you?

not that hard. took me 4 hrs my first time.

They arent real hard at all. Depending on how youre doing it, i agree with c2tuck. If you have access to a lift, i would say if hes charging you anything over 100-150, id do it myself. If youre doimg it on your back in your driveway, that number would probably double. I think the hardest part about on your back in the driveway is getting the trans out from under the truck, and the new one back in.

 

[107stroker]

The local trans shop said4-500 to do the swap. I do have a lift and can get my hands on a trans jack. From what I have see it looks like getting the converter in place and bolted is the hardest part. Do i put fluid in the converter first? Thanks for the replies.
