Default Pictures: Before and After my new rims and a few other things

Well, I finally got the time to get my rims on, black out my lights, and do a couple other things. I also found a set of doors in my color for $160. They aren’t perfect, and they aren’t a 100% match but I’ll be repainting the truck eventually a two-tone blue and black so they’ll do for now. Much better than the ones I bought the truck with, dented to hell. I do have a couple more things to do this year, but for not I’m pretty happy with it. And onto the pictures that I know we all love so much.

Before:




After:





Here’s what I’m going for:

$530 for the rims and tires. Rims were brand new and the tires cost me $130 and have around 80% tread left. I wish I could have found a more aggressive offroad tire, but for the price I couldn't justify it.

That's a really good price you got on the wheel/tire combo. I like the end result you are going for, especially the rear bumper and exhasut tips. On that photochop are you running a rumble bee type scoop?

No, I'm shooting for getting an SRT-10 hood.

I also want to get some 35x12.5x20 M/T tires too.

Lookin' good, I like the direction you are taking it. Those wheels would look great powder coated gloss black with the style you are going for in the two-tone paint

Oh, ok. That was going to be my suggestion to you if you were considering the rumble bee scoop.

Just a question Teach, You don't like the Rumble Bee scoops? Grant it they don't look as good as the SRT10's but I like em for the difference in money.
