Hey guys, just want to show my new stuff that i've installed today <img src='

Here's with stock 35" tires
With Toyo Open Country MT 38x13.5x18 on KMC XD775 Black Rockstar
Tires and rim package with E&G Classics Off-road wide fender Flares
I have a slight rubbing on the frame on full turn, as the rockstar has 0 offset with 4.75 backspacing...i thought that would clear it. I'll replace the stock TB keys with GM green keys and crank it for additional 2". Same as the rear, i will install the 1.5" spacer when i get home early monday and see how it goes.
I found the toyo's a little noiser that the stock bfg....oh well, not bad for an MT's. Quirk Chev here in Marshfield, MA will calibrate my speedo for the oversize tires tommorow.

Jimmy I love it! When you bringing it back thru the prairies so I can help you get it dirty or stuck (or help pull me out, when I do hahahaha).
Post more pics of the increased lift after the green keys!

BTW Jimmy.. I installed new Keys in mine and cranked up the front when I got my first set of 37x12.5x17 Goodyear MT/Rs installed and they still rub on full turn left and right.. I believe Norm aka Tanky do as well..but with the 38.. I am not sure how it will turn out and you went to a 13.5 too.. let us know
Also how tough was the install of the flares? any photos of that process?

@Derek....sorry bro, no pics of the install....it's like 1000 degrees when i'm doin' the install and no time to take pics <img src='
http://www.canadianhummerclub.com/forum ... lleyes.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':rolleyes:' /> . It came with fairly straight forward instructions that i've followed. Took me a bit longer as i'm anal 'bout the detail of the installations <img src='
http://www.canadianhummerclub.com/forum ... lleyes.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':rolleyes:' /> . Only thing that freak me out are drilling holes on the body <img src='
