Zr2 fender trimming/Nokian Tyres upgrade; Best offroad tire? 

Oh yea man. I had no idea. I guess these are the next evolution. The type of Tyres your used to mixed with armor for desert running and toughness. Basically took the performance of the standard tires and made them tougher. Thank you for your input

My evo and now silverado got nokian!😁 they're legit Colorado snow don't phase me

Yeah absolutely, great snow tires are a game changer.

Thanks man. Thanks for watching too

Hell yea man thanks. I know been the self imposed victim of a lot of diy projects that are made to sound easy and videos that aren’t honest about mistakes. Don’t worry about being cheesy. That’s exactly the results we were looking for. More helpful than glamours every time

Yea man thanks. Moab was a lot of fun

420 motors one of the coolest places on the planet.

Nice. Yea plenty of sets to compare grip with. I’m impressed by the side walls though. For desert running nothing really exist yet than can be comparable in under a 37” tire size

Oh yea. That’s what the race team did. And they run 34.5

Haven’t seen those fenders yet though. Thought they still weren’t out

lol. It was time for better tires

Awesome thanks man

Lol yup

Lmao. Still haven’t needed to upgrade.

Lol. It’s mandatory for me. I refuse to do a lift because o want to preserve or improve the center of gravity. Rather trim sheet metal than end up on my side trying to drift lol. But yea the snorkel was worse.

Oh yea man. Actually zr2 was designed for 33’s. That part that I cut is what forced it to go down to stock 31” tires. So you will be good

Thank you

Shoot you might have to custom order some

Thank you man

The thing is that it’s not really worth it. All you wed to trim is in that section. Proof of concept zr2 had 33 inch tires. The location of that single tab forced it to go to 31. So no need to trim any more than that

Lol

Oh good point. The double sided tape will help double

@@420motors had you thought about legit adhesive or hot glue for those body pins?

Oh yea. But gotta clean it to use adhesive lol

It looks like those plastic pieces that are used to hold the tabs are “soldered” on to the fender flares. I did the same and one came partly loose. They have those little holes all over the place and I believe they were melded with heat to the fender flares... I used a solder gun and “re-attached” it. Not pretty, but seems sold.

Nice tip though. I don’t think I’ve seen a perfect one.

They are 265 70r15. With aftermarket wheels. After trimming I get no rubbing and can fully tuck them. The rear barely touches under extreme articulation so yea 275 might need some stiffer coils or a perch or leveling kit

@@420motors damn. Good to know. I do have a 1" leveling kit but maybe I'll just stick with the 265's anyway. If I'm being honest I'm still a little chicken to trim

Lol. Yea man I don’t blame you. The offset on my wheels is what made me do it. Even if I kept the stock tires I needed to trim just to maintain full steering

@@420motors Damn. I've been planning to get the Crestones from AEV but didn't realize they'd cause rubbing even on stock tire size. Glad you put that out there.

All offsets will. So any wheel you go with unless you custom order stock dimensions you will get rubbing. But originally I didn’t. Had 95% used tires up front and brand new in the rear. When I rotated them is when the rubbing started. So it’s only a temporary problem.

Your not wrong. And depending on use you might be able to get more gains. If you abuse the truck your gotta do more practical mods though. It is a minimal lift as you said but for performance reasons. Don’t want to throw off balance too much. I like sliding around a lot so don’t want bigger tires than 32. But plenty of people looking to stuff much bigger tires. Honestly depends how you like to drive. Would be higher and bigger tires if I liked crawling more but I tend to avoid that. I just like driving fast in corners and jumping so build it to that.

Depends on wheels. With stock wheels you can do 32. 33 will require trimming but not as much. Just shaving of the lower part.

Thanks

Thank you

Lol. Take them off. They don’t really do much. If you like drifting though or donuts they do offer some paint protection from sand blasting your sides with dirt and sand. That’s about it

Custom one made by a buddy. Hit him up prerunnerj68@gmail.com

No. It’s labeled as Rockproofs. This is the link www.nokiantyres.com/summer-tyres/nokian-rockproof/

@@420motors thank you!

Lmao. He might be on a road trip. And yea I love them. But I am conflicted. For crawling and desert running they are amazing. On the dirt tracks at cal city though they aren’t very fast. Not designed for lateral grip. Need softer tires for that. But soft tires aren’t tough. So in zr2 size because of lack of options they are amazing tires. Once you get to 37’s and bigger I would have to go with bfg kr3’s. But that’s a race tire and not street legal so says a lot about the nokian tires actually

Lol. I end up doing it for all my friends.

Yea but you will get some rubbing. We got a new wheel video coming out that does let you use 32’s with no trimming

@@420motors awesome, i just got my 2018 zr2 with the 2.8, i added the 1" leveling kit, subbed thanks for the video and up and coming ones.

Sweet. Thanks for watching

Yea. The brackets are custom made by this guy www.calibuilt.net/ and the lights are these www.kchilites.com/gravity-led-pro6-led-light-bar.html

Nice

Are you able to clear parking garages with this combo?

What do you mean you ordered yours with the BDS lift? It's not like that's a factory option.

@@quintili1 u can order it at most all gm dealerships with the bds lift and 35 tires and its still covered by the factory warranty.

@@brahmabull421 I haven't tried any parking garages. Don't use them much.

No performance lost, we highly recommended them. Dollar for dollar some of the best on the market; they really have no equal in their price range. And, they're not made in China!

Thank you

Yea ours have been solid. Seems like they got those early issues sorted out

New tourq converter at 8000 miles on my 2020 bone stock.

Damn that certainly sucks

@@420motors It kept hunting at 55 to 60 mph and felt like you were riding the fog line. It was down 30 days while gm engineering figured out what to do.

Lol yea the guard still has a small flair. On hot days it’s flush and as cools off the little bulge comes back. It doesn’t bother me but some double sided 3m tape would fix that if it drives you crazy

@@420motors thanks man!

Np

Well just slightly and in the rear. Isn’t even leaving marks which is surprising. It’s mostly due to the offset of the wheels. But yea I hate rubbing

Yea it’s the 40. Forgot there were options lol www.supersprings.com/shop/ssr-212-40/

Man I wish. Could be done by the end of October.

@@420motors no photo updates or video updates? would be nice.

Shoot we don’t have any for public sharing. But as soon as we get something to share we will post it on Instagram

Yea. But the back isn’t as critical as the front. Don’t think it would need to with stock wheels though. With aftermarket wheels definitely needs some trimming

@@420motors thanks for the help !

Half inch per wheel

No man the raptor is getting built still with Robby woods. It’s taking forever

Man I have a 2016 tundra trd offroad, I was wondering if I could build it like a raptor or better

Oh yea man. Once you start building it almost doesn’t matter what the vehicle started as

@@420motors am daily driving my tundra, I want to daily drive it but build it a bid better then the raptor what shop do you recommend?

Shoot good thing about Toyota is that aftermarket parts are abundant. You don’t need a full build. You can do a lot with bolt on mods but be fooled into thinking that’s cheap either. Don’t see a whole lot of built Tundra’s old man emu and total chaos make a bunch of good things for tacos, I would start there. Basically what your looking for is an upgraded rear axle. You can work on your current one. Regear and add an air locker. Trust it for strength and get a dealer style leaf pack. Bump stops and small bed cage for protruding shocks. Up front your gonna be looking at some expensive options also. A mid travel kit should do. Maybe some bump stops and probably 3 inch shocks up front and 3.5 on the rear and your good. You will want to pull abs and traction control fuses as well as upgrade breaks. If you want a builder the best tundra raptor killer I’ve seen was made by kibbitech. We actually have it on a video ru-vid.com/show-UChBFUIa2w-1FOmYexcjxbOQ

Nope. All stock still.

Lol your rear will run in driveways probably

420 motors thanks for the reply. What about with the add a leaf?

For the street yea. But your gonna need a body lift to get any articulation with 35’s

@@420motors i cant bring myself to do a body lift. may have to just get those high clearance AEV Fenders. Love your channel and your ZR2 content, thanks for all you do!

Thanks man thanks for watching. I agree. For my style of driving I wouldn’t do the body lift either.

Some have been known to leak prematurely. Besides that I love them

@@420motorsThanks that makes me feel better coming from you guys. Some guy on u tube is ranting about how bad they are and I just bought a Bison diesel. So I was a little freaked out.

Lol. Naw man. If they sucked we would have changed.

@@420motors That’s what I figured. So far…I think their badass!

Yea. We have had to replace already. It considering the amount of abuse they took and that the suggested rebuild milage on all aftermarket shocks would have demanded 3-6 rebuilds by now anyway.

Then don’t watch do it yourself videos. Also I like to drive. I like to drift and I like to do it at high speeds. So why would I want to ruin the center of gravity by doing a 4 inch lift.

Look, there’s no need for you to get all pissy. I’m just saying that no one I’ve seen cuts their fender, and if they did, I’m sure people would do it a hell of a lot cleaner then that.

You need to get our more buddy.
