Yea, tires have that chalky look or something. After you clean them up , take a few pics, if you get a chance. From the front and back as well. I'm betting the rims and tires will look allot better together.

no problem. I had always wondered too! I photoshopped them on there probably 100 different times, but none of the photoshops compare in person.

Thanks! I was actually thinking about that.. my front tires stick out alot further, but thats because of my long travel. I am not sure if I should stick with that.. or get leafs in the back to lift it level and run wheel spacers.

The tires had been sitting in a garage for almost a month before I put them on my truck . Not to mention they werent clean to begin with. My truck has been all over the place so I havent had time to wash it. I had to get my alignment re-done because the place I took it to get my wheels and tires installed looked at the way my tires leaned and said "WTF". They referred me to a place that could align it and now its wayyy better! If I get the chance to get on tonight then I will have more pictures of it. I just got the truck back last night.

Yea, I always thought your alignment didn't look right, -even with your All-terrains. Yea, that has to be perfect and with those tires, it's easy tp throw out the alignment. So where ever you get it done, it would pay to get one of those packages, - free alignment for life deals lol..

I'll be doing that as soon am I'm done painting. Alignments don't last,- my front end is still tight. I have to say, I didn't have alignment issues until a cam kit was installed, -it was recommended, -should of left the damn thing alone

New Pics? It doesn't take long, - just click ( :

I think it would also.. I paid 140 dollars for the tires I have on there. So I have no room to whine or complain. They all are 80% or more, and as soon as they wear down then I will have 37s in some mean looking tire. I just couldn't pass up the deal I got.

My alignment was really messed up. The place I took it to from the get-go was just all wrong. The tires stand straight up and down at all times now, and to think they didnt before . When I would see my truck going down the road it would have a "V" look to the front tires .. no more! I cant believe that.. oh well. I paid $48 for this new alignment and it has a 60k warranty.

I probably will bring them out more. Did you ever have the problem of how far the stars stick out growing on you? I find it harder and harder to cut the stems down on these because I think it looks sweet when I can look in my mirrors and see those stars spinning. Maybe thats just me :o

The truck is wet because I was claying some left over burd turd

This was after a good wash, and a fresh coat of Dupont paint protector.


I felt bad because I promised pics so I literally washed the truck at like 930 something at night and took a couple pics. Some of them came out bad because my phone blows at taking pictures. DO not worry though, I have the morning off (FOR ONCE) and I will get some nice ones from all the angles. I have been rediculously busy lately.

maybe! I appreciate the compliments!

I want a whole new paint job actually. Thats in the works around income tax time, and so is a new sound system. Other than that.. just about all I could think of would be an engine swap. I really want a 5.4 out of a 02-03 that I could slap my procharger on. I have a trans that I could build to run with it too... just have to get the engine.

Too much money already

Well, I was going to get a complete repaint to fix all the little chips and what not. I want it to have like 37 coats of clear also with everything trimmed and filled. Possibly with SS bed rails, but idk yet.

The bumper I could do no problem, but the engine is what gets me. I should be getting a really good income tax return so its hard not to wait until then.. I probably will.

Right now I have a RF 1000 watt mono-block pushing two Kicker CVR's. One is a 10 and one is a 12. They are in a custom box that I made to fit in the middle of my back seat and run to the floor. I want to run a box that will fit under the back seat, and possibly run some shallow mount P3's with either my same amp or just whichever one that I can find that is better. I also have pioneer 400 watt speakers all the way around, but they are just hooked up to stock connectors.
