Looking good! I was also considering a color change but the thought of having to paint the jams and under the hood steered me away. Im staying with the factory red paint.

pretty meaty for a lil s10 pickup. it's silly how little things like this make me smile. these things seem bigger than the 305/45-18 that i had on the silverado for some reason.

starting to look like a truck agian. cant mount the tire because the it's stuffed into the frame. should sit perfect with the wider 8.8. spacers will work until then. the rear end should drop some more after the 16 gallon fuel cell, battery relocation and rear bumper. also the spring sliders will drop it another 1/2" or so. i want to throw the front fenders on but i have a ton of cleaning to do on the garage now that i have it back.
