Only bad thing is that means slower progress on the truck right now, I don't want to blast it apart and then try to move it while it's in pieces.
Didn't see your response til just now lol. I'm over by the UA...

I just found out that Toyo has begun shipping the size tires I need for the rear, so hopefully they'll be here soon. As for paint, it's staying green for now. The paint is pretty jacked up with tree sap and crud that the last owner never washed off, but it's only the upward facing surfaces. If I end up having to sand it to get the crap off, I'll take it to my brother's friend and have the truck sprayed satin black from the body line up. I'm also thinking about having the wheels powdercoated satin black and painting the chrome ring on the grill to match.

Cool. Well it's gonna be March at the earliest before I move, so I'm gonna push on with some more stuff on the truck and get it on the road. I was leaving the In-N-Out on Kolb today and saw a sick red OSB ECSB on 22" IROCs, got me all pumped to get going on my truck again. I think I got a decent pic of it on my phone, I'll load it tomorrow.

Nevermind, uploaded it now... LOL!!

If you run hardline to your bags do copper. You can sweat it just like plumbing and repairs are very easy. Beauty is, you will never have to make a repair.

I agree!! LOL!!! I like the wheels as well, they're pretty sweet for what I paid. Later on I'll get some forged wheels, but I'll keep these for daily duty.

I want to get this thing going and pull into the little show at the Safeway by my house. Usually on Fri or Sat night, there's about 30-50 cars and trucks of all types. Do you know if there's a Cars & Coffee here in Tucson? I'd love to get up early and go to one.
