Thanks for the comments on the wheels. The only problem with them are the center caps. The come off so easily. The pop in and thats it, I have lost about 6 of them @ 20 bucks a piece.


Dusty,

I orderd lt's and the ory. Still deciding on the muffler, prob going back to the aerochamber. Tom wants to do the dyno as well. Maybe erick with the hemi and jake with the boxster.

I might be leaving to go to lemoore, ca for E.M.T. school. I will call you in a few days.

Erick

I had heard that about the center caps too somewhere else. Weird that they would have them just pop in. I had some wheels similar to that on my old dodge but the caps inserted through the wheel from the backside to prevent them from popping out like that. I thought they had an available cover cap that you could use with that wheel rather than using the caps. I could be wrong though, but I thought I read that somewhere a while back. Might be thinking about a different wheel though too.


BTW, what size tires is that you are running on the wheels. I would like to go something a bit more aggressive for off road but not really wanting the mud terrains, I drive way too much back and forth to work for that. But when you were running them on your L33, you just had stock suspension right with the TB's cranked up a bit. I'm thinking about the nitto terra grapplers.

Nice truck man.
I'm not too hot on the wheels, but then again, it's your truck, not mine.
I think some step bars will enhance the look of the wheels. IMO.
Happy modding!

Jim
