Cleaned my new rims up and am plastidipping them!

First Coat of PlastiDip:


And one of my truck stuck in mud

 

Put on new Dunlop tires. Decided not to wait on finding the wheels I want....after my youngest son fussed at me over the weekend for the crappy mismatched tires (rewind and role flip on conversations from 20 years ago......)

Ordered new OD unit bearings and parts from WITTRANS, and having tooling made at local machine shop for pressing OD unit clutch pack.

 

Looks like fun! When we get to see how your wheels turned out?

You know we gotta see pictures!

 

Huge dick tease

 

I haven't finished em quite yet haha , smell of brake cleaner got to strong in the garage so I had to let it air out, then the gf came over and that was the end of the project for the day! After I get them wheels all done I gotta find some tires for em, the ones on it are bald

 

Pics of tires or OD rebuild-rebuild?

 

Well, when you put it that way, BOTH!

 

Hopefully finishing the rims off and getting them on the truck today! Then to sell my tires and ORE rims and get brand new 33's.

 

I put on one of those cool headlight relay kits that I got from LMC Truck, and promptly popped one of my 'spensive PIAA Xtreme White bulbs. Low beam go bye-bye. Dammit.

The relay kit from LMC Truck comes without fuses or fuse holders so I added them in, and extended the ground sides all the way to the battery rather than relying upon a chassis ground. The kit comes with the wires inside gaudy yellow sleeving, so I cut that crap off and wrapped it up in black automotive conduit. Works good, and with the yellow gone it doesn't look like it belongs in a Kia with a fart can and a spoiler.

I think my battery is FUBAR. The darn thing hasn't lost any water since it was new two and a half years ago.

Tomorrow it's heater core, dash, and bezel time. Oh joy.

 

Just finished installing Westin nerf bars
