Sold those other wheels I had, really didn't like them on this truck. Used that money to buy a weedwacker and threw these 2WD steelies on. No more rubbing!

I don't think they sit right on the compressor and I'm not sure what the deal is. I also had to order a cycling switch because the compressor wouldn't engage unless I jumped the cycling switch plug on the accumulator.

nice raptor coating in the "stormtrooper", ill be doing mine here shortly to prevent chips and rust in the future.

as far as your A/C lines not lining up exactly you can always take a micrometer and measure things but if it dosent leak then i wouldnt worry.

Thanks! I use Rustoleum and it's not the best. But it's cheap, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Oh, and it leaked. It leaked empty hahaha.

Painted my hubcaps today.

I bought spiked lug nuts too, but didn't realize that you can't use hubcaps without the lug covers. So that sucked

I love those center caps. I got the same rims but aluminum color for my winter rims. Different center caps. I had to modify mine to be able to use a lock nut on them. I believe I got pics in one of my threads. She's coming along nicely!

I always liked those 16" rims. Those will look very sharp in black.

Roof basket pic looks like an ad for Home Depot. lol

Those s10 rims remind me of the late 80's Camaro rims. They will look good with a nice aggressive tire.

I've only seen these on a 4WD once and it looked pretty good, I hope it looks as good as it does in my head haha.
