Smaller tires up front will require you either cutting the lower part of your grille off or raising in a bit.
Those look like 235x16 tires so will you go to 215x16 ?

What I've got on there now is the 215x16. Not sure what the smallest 16"
light truck tire is. Maybe 205?
The grill mod is already on the to do list. If you look real close you can see that it has hung up already and has pulled away a little. A bit to low>

Forgot to add a link to how to patina it in different colors...

Home Depot and Lowes in my area only carries 1/4" soft copper tubing in
rolls which is 1/4" OD.
I know I've seen 1/4" ID hard copper line some where. Maybe for refrigeration? I may have to go to Albuquerque and hit the supply houses.

Thanks for the link. Very interesting
Have you used this process?

I was just going to let mother nature have her way with it. But I'd have to endure the shiny copper look for a while.

Any plumbing company should have hard drawn copper, just maybe not 1/4"

We have used a similar solution that we spray on copper to patina it to the green color yes.

There lies my problem. I started doing it with 1/2" OD and had the bright idea
that it would look better with 3/8" OD so I took it all apart.

Thanks for the links I'll check them out. Fr8 might be a problem.

Changed front tires to 205/60/16. Now I need to trim the bottom of
the grill and do the mod to it.
Maybe Thursday, gotta fix the fence so the dogs don't leave.

Pops, from what tire height to what?

27" to 24"?

Looks a lot better.
