New tires and wheels ! Whooo Hooo ! :-)

Ah buddies ! I haven't been so stoked, since I got the darn truck in the first place ! :-) From the moment my buddy put the first one on, I just knew these were going to completely transform my truck !

I'm sure you can all relate to that anxiety of spending a big chunk of cash on something which "you think.... you believe.... you feel".... is going to be really nice...... but theirs just no way to be 100% sure until you do it, right ?
Well I'll tell you guys, it took all of about the first 3 seconds I saw them, for than anxiety to just completely turn to pure, whooo hooo excitement :-)

I'm sorry for spewing.... Can't tell I'm stoked can you ? :-)

Hey now anyway, if you don't like black wheels, then I wouldn't expect you to like these. But as long as the owner is happy, then your happy for him, right ? ;-)

Look at that Stone Green popping :-) {but geez, those chrome bumpers have to go ASAP ! ..... hopefully next week}


I didn't do anything to the camera settings, or anything in PhotoShop here.... Stone Green just shifts like this depending on your viewing angle, and the angle of the sun....


Lovin' my new 5600 lb baby :-)


Peace,
Fish

PS, I want to thank Cannonballgsu, once again, for all of his outstanding Photo Shop work, early on, when I was still trying to decide which styling rout to take with my truck. I still remember how, after my own crappy photo job, I wasn't so excited about blacking out a truck this color.... But after the first great PS job by Cannonball, a whole bunch of guys, including myself, could totally see it !
Cannonballgsu, you da' man ! :-)

Fish, it looked like crap at first....then it started to grow on me. Maybe if the bumpers were black... I have read your PTM threads. Paint or Line X them. Then lift it a bit

Looking good Chirs.

Once those bumpers are darker, it's going to look great. I'd also maybe add some harley tails or night shade those brake lights.

BTW what are the specs?

Hey Shines.....

Ya' know it's funny...... I totally love the new wheels (and tires) but I have to agree that the chrome bumpers look like crap ! Don't know if you just looked at the pictures, but I did actually say
{but geez, those chrome bumpers have to go ASAP ! ..... hopefully next week}
So anyway, yes, I'm on it !

Peace,
Fish

You got a leveling kit on that thing? Black wheels really aren't my thing, but I really like that color.

Hey rsbeach.....

thank you. Yes, actually I have the HD's on the way :-) I actually like the look of nightshading a little better..... But the cops around here can be jerks sometimes. Already pushing it a bit with my front tinted glass.... So I went with the DOT legal HD's instead.

Peace,
Fish

Hey Tardman.....

Not really a leveling kit.... Instead, I just went with Bilstein 5100 ride height adjustable shocks, to give me a 2" front lift, and a much better ride. I highly recommend them. Great way to kill two birds with 1 stone :-)
