I mentioned it in the other thread, but I need wheel spacers for them to 'safely' put on the wheels. So it will be a 4 day delay on that... and after 6 months of sitting she is very dirty, before I do anything else- tomorrow is scrubbing day. I got the new battery in and I was embarrassed of my engine bay at auto zone (they dropped it in for free).
But yes, updates are on the way, I am going a million miles an hour as it is...
Blown- I almost called you today because my truck wouldn't start lol, lucky my neighbors were home with jumpers.

Dam trucky thats awesome you got a bunch of toys to put on your truck, welcome back I am sure your glad to be home.. Well I got around 700 miles on them new 285.50/20 tires there running good, I had to go to my buddies horse farm over the weekend and it was muddy big time.. You will find that the back side of those wheels do hold some dirt even after I took it thru the power washer, if it would ever warm up I could do a proper washing on the truck,, Cya Slick

Hmm yah but I don't tow and I'm trying to avoid things like mudflaps and fender flares... thanks for the tips though, I'm sure washing them will be tedious.

Waiting 4 days to put those rims on would drive me crazy.

Truck, you may not tow, but all the crap being thrown up by those tires can also do a number on your rocker panels.

Welcome home trucky! Those new wheels are going to look sharp! Are your stock ones powdercoated or just painted black?

Haha thanks I am considering...
Rengnath- I painted them black, they usually are much better looking than that.
