Cool Truck Update! NEW Rims & Tires

Ok, I've had them on the truck for just over a week and finally got some pics put together for you guys.


New Black GFX 17"x8.5" Rims w/ machined inner lip.
Wrapped in Nitto Terra Grapplers M/T 265/70/17

I also got my BW Fender Flares installed! + got a new Power Steering Pump installed today.

It really brings the truck theme together. (what to do next? hmm)








I also Painted my front Calipers "Lightning Blue" using Dupli-color Metalcast









And with the rims back on!







You can also find all those pics on my Cardomain page!

Well what do you guys think?

looks good, but i am going with an agressive street tire again, like the lowered stance and sleek look, have a few ideas for a cowl hood also

sorry, but I couldn't look past the fact that you are using the stock tire changing scissors jack the truck came with???????? Go invest in a proper jack and good jack stands (I don't trust those 2 ton ones from checker/oreillys/autozone/etc. that you have).

It does look good though! I'll be going with 265/70/17's next time around too. Not a fan of the Nitto's though. All in all though, your truck looks good! I still like that grill guard w/ the IPF lights!

If you keep adding stuff that 3.7 isn't going to move the thing!

nice biker, good choice on the wheels leaves just enough tire to still look like a truck.

next up i'd tint the tails.
