Thanks man, I definitely went OCD on the wiring, but it came out great

 

Going OCD on the wiring always give the best results.

 

 

I'm debating extending a couple power wires in the engine bay in order to tuck them better.... I don't want anything running on or near the fuse box, but lengths have been a problem

 

hey man, if she stuck with you through your length problem...don't trade her in.

 

wouldn't know, I don't have that problem

 

you said the power wires were too short.
i was just suggesting you not trade her in because of it.

 

 

Never had a complaint on how long my wire is

 

I have never heard a complaint about the length of your wire too (either? sp?).
Your engine bay must be shaved. Makes your wires look longer for sure!

 

One must know from experience I guess

 

Do you?

 

Never in the past but I wouldn't know recently

On the way to the tire shop....



And, Big Blue got new shoes! 17x8.5" with 265x70x17 Cooper Discoverer RTX tires. I went for stock size tires since I have a brand new stock suspension and have no intentions of lifting. I think the beefier tire really fills the wheel well, and the extra inch of wheel width really stands out as well.



Just a couple quick driveway shots since it's like 100% humidity and I'm sweating my ass off lol



Overall I'm really happy with the look



These wheels really changed the whole look of the truck

 

Looking really good man. Great wheel choice. Glad you finally decided to go with the new tires too instead of the regular road tires. They finish it off nicely.

 

Very nice!

 

Thanks man, I definitely am glad that I went with the beefier fires, I think the 65's would have looked too small

Thanks bro

 

Nice call on the Coopers. I had an attack of grownup-ing and decided not to drop the coin on BFGs this time around. After a metric ass-tonne of research, I ended up with the AT-3s. Seems like these RTXs are very similar. I've put ~13,000 miles on them so far and they're wonderful! Quiet but perform well in all conditions... Highway AND mall curbs all get eaten up with no hiccups.

Looks good!

 

I was researching and almost got the AT-3's until I saw the buy 2 get 2 deal they had going on with the RTX's, and they seemed a bit more aggressive and had a bit better reviews so I jumped on them. Time will tell how these go

 

Decided it was time to throw on the satin black emblems to help compliment the wheels, couple before and afters. Front before

Rear Before

Half way there



And all done


Really like the satin black look of these emblems, I'm not a big chrome fan. I also did the side emblems but didn't snap a pic.

Now I need to do a real photoshoot lol

 

Cool! Plastidip, wrap? How did you do it?

 

You need to do bronze or black roof rails before the shoot.

 

They actually sell an overlay kit that snaps right on over the chrome letters and uses double sided tape so you don't have to remove them. Pretty cool and super easy to install

 

Went to the Slayer concert on Saturday, got VIP Premiere parking, as I'm pulling in and getting instructions on where to park the kid parking me says "I love your vehicle"

Made my day

 

Couple tail-gating pics from the concert

 

I see dick print! I see your Schwartz is as big as mine!

 

Wheels are fucking awesome.. great updates!

 

Thanks yo

 

Nice choice on the wheels, looks great!
Now you need to install your passenger side burglar bars

 

Can't yet... Waiting for some nice weather for another project

 

Just ordered more parts, don't tell my gf

 

she moves in...........6 months later she moves out.........:thief:

 

 

Can someone with Photshop paint the roof racks black and bronze? Want to see how each looks...

 

black bases/end caps with bronze rails....

 

I like this idea

 

I think it'll look overdone on the bronze...whenever you try and match a color like that it ends up reminding me of momo tubulare wheels with the color inserts in 1995.
I say black.

 

I'd still like to see photoshops if possible...

The emblems are now black, and the mirror turn signals will be blacked out if that helps
