Re: 72 burb build

running the crimson red and champagne wil be real nice with the graphic splitter... Also running the 24x14 puts it on another level.. Im having Stitches Custom Auto Upholstery do the interior and his work is top notch and easily up there with HIX. So these two burbs side by side would be a nasty face off.. I just gotta finish mine.. lol. We are doing a few body mods as well and shaving everything and doing some sweet custom bumpers.

good idea on the color change, black and white wouldnt have done this truck justice..
Yeah, I saw that truck in Conroe, TX at a car show a few months ago. It was sick, but it looks like it's for show only. The interior was so over the top I couldn't see anyone driving it much.

Re: 72 burb build

Yeah i agree, we are going with the same attention to detail, a few more body mods and a very custom but way more subtle interior... A more "minitruck" approach to an old custom classic..

In the words of rapper Rick Ross, "Rims taller than a bulldozer!" Man those things are huge. Guys here in Houston at Drops R Us run those sizes a lot. Even more impressive in person. Very nice choice.

Re: 72 burb build

Yeah they are all over texas but nobody would ship them.. Pirelli is on back order for 2 months, SOO i had to pay 680 per on ebay to get them to WA in a timely fashion, need them mounted and ready so i can get all my measurements for the rear end and rear floor. Time is money!

I apologize for my Texas brothers. It's like they say, everything's bigger in Texas.

Re: 72 burb build

I don't have a truck yet so I'm not going to get too deep into smack talking. Lol. But I wouldn't mind a lil West Coast vs 3rd Coast competition. Lol.
