Try to get the money and get your rims and tires from 4 wheel parts out in waipahu. They have way better prices than Maui Off-Road. That sucks that your stuff got jacked from Maui Off-Road, they aren't in the worst place but stuff gets broken into everywhere on the Island. I had my old truck broken in to once on kapalani, and my F150 broken into twice (once in Manoa in front of my house, and once in Honolulu by aloha towers). The list could go on with buddies I know. But to the topic on hand I just put on the Procom Xtreme all terrains, They are quiter than the BFG m/t I had before. The rims I am pretty simple, that is why i have the bullet hole rims from procomp (little bit of and oldschool look). Hope you get the truck back soon, so you can take it up to keana point and get it dirty if it's not dried up yet.

WXSCPO is 4x2...but it's too late anyways. It's already dried up. I took my Durango up there Saturday and there is pretty much nothing. Just these 2 mud holes that you would be wise to have a bud with a winch before attempting.


sorry it's a Dodge, but I haven't uploaded any other pics

Edit: I just realized I didn't vote for rims.

I'm a big fan of the Moto Metals. So, some Moto's with the Toyo M/T. That would really set your truck off I think

EVERYONE has Toyos. Get the newBFG MTs, not many have it and its a better tire anyways.

As for rims, the 951s will look great.

If you want black, american racing thugs teflons would look awesome.

Been looking at ther KMC wheels and have narrowed it down to these ones;





Leaning towards the Revolvers at this point, but can't rule out the Rockstars.

Tires and wheels were not stolen from Maui Offroad, they were actually stolen from Victory Auto Body where the repair work is being done. They called me today and said I have roughly $3200 to shop with. They also said that they're going to replace the ignition and keys incase anything was compromised and will have the alarm reprogramed for the new keys. Also they're going to paint the bed of my truck while they have it in the paint booth (whenever that happens) at no charge. They are really working hard to take care of this and get my truck back to me as fast as they can. I will be looing all over the island and Craigslist/ebay for my old tires. Good thing is is it's not like they'll fit anything other than a Ford.

Yeah so it's going to be a tough decision for me cause I like'em both.

The shop's insurance company called me today and said they are starting an investigation into the theft and would let me know the results. They couldn't promise when the investigation would be complete though. All this stuff is holding me up from actually ordering anything and then it's going to take 2-3 weeks to get the tires/wheels shipped out here. Looking at maybe (if I'm lucky) then end of April before I get my truck back.

I say no to the revolvers, they look better on the computer than in person.

Check out the new Moto Metals:

MO957 Black Machined

Go here for Hi Res: http://www.wheelpros.com/downloads/h...ckMachined.jpg

MO958 Chrome


MO958 Black Machined


But, if the choice is between Revolvers and Rockstars, I would go with KMC Rockstars...did you see the Monsters?

As far as tires, go with the Toyo MTs if you dont like road noise. rotate every 5,000 miles and they will last a long time and make sure you get an alignment.

Nitto Mud Graps Look Awesome, i had them, put 53,000 miles on them, but HATED the road noise, they ARE LOUD.

BFGs will set you back a pretty penny more so than Toyos.

This was another set I was actually considering because they looked great on a tire down at the local offroad shop. Not too sure though how they'd look on my truck.

That's my issue with going with anything other than what I had. I know I liked what I had and would be happy to have again, but I thought maybe time for a new start. My only worry is I'll go with something that looks great on a computer screen, but not so great on the truck and then have to live with it.
