It will be 4 years in January and the only issue I have with it is in the spots that I slacked on the prep work other than that it's holding up awesome and still looks like new when washed! I actually think I may do the entire truck after winter with it just have to figure out what color to go with.

Got my money and mounted up my old 37s on dudes truck today. He's got a few spots that are going to rub for sure. I tried the two plastic inner fenders quick and told him to drive and come back in a couple days so I can see where it's rubbing and address those locations later. I also had to put a new outer tie rod on for him cause during the test drive the tire was wobbling like hell! I couldn't in good conscious let him drive away like that even tho it came in that way.
This is at ride height

And back on the ground. I'll get some better pics later


I also had another guy at a tire shop tell me to stop in in the a.m. and check out a set of tires he has so I'll see what the cost is on those tomorrow or I'll order the other 37s we shall see!

They have the red that almost perfectly matches the original red color, could keep it 2 tone

Yeah it's been a long time since I've looked at what colors they have so I need to do that again. I'll definitely be keeping it two tone for sure!

40s it is! Well 39.5 if you wanna be technical lol!

Took a ride today and picked up some tires finally. I got a smoking deal I think all for tires with about 95% tread mounted on Allied bead lock wheels and I paid $700 for the set
Next to the 37 ats that were on there

A little wider but not horrible

And on all 4

I've got some moving of things to do for clearance but I knew that would have to happen so I'm ok with it.
I couldn't resist getting a bit dirty and when I did I found this... A stuck turd!

And here's one outside after I love the new look!

I need to hurry up and find a 60 for the front now

Nah I left him stuck! Really I just didn't have time cause I had to pick my son up from daycare and couldn't be late for that. A buddy that was with me went back and made sure he got out tho.

Those wheels look great! I was down around your way earlier this week. Too bad I was working and couldn't stop by.
