There's definitely a debadging project and a rollpan in my future...I'm almost tempted to do it today (debadging) since it's 94* right now and the mouldings will come off much easier. Only problem is it's 94* out and I don't feel like sweating my marbles off at this particular time

let it sit outside all day in teh sun.
THen once it cools off take thme off. That way they should be at the hottest. BTW I used a heat gun and it was really easy. Fishing string to take the molding off. Go ahead laugh at the fi shing string part, everyone else does.
BTW if you went with the fishing string get atleast 25lb test.

That looks great man! Wish I had the cash for wheels too. I've blown too much on performance **** already. Our trucks used to be near clones until you did the wheel swap! You have the eact same grille as mine, but have fog lights.
Now yours is sexy and mine is humm-drum.
I want to remove my side mouldings this week, but don't know if I'll have time. I'll post up if I do so you can see for comparisson with yours.
Congrats again on the transformation to coolness!

Thanks guys
I wouldn't call your truck humm-drum TG02Z71, I'd call it a sleeper
I've heard about the fishing string trick onebadrubi, that's actually the way I plan to do it...thanks for the tip on using at least 25lb test
I tried get it aligned today just so I could put some miles on it and enjoy it. Pretty much had to argue with every place I went to as they gave me a song and dance as to how they wouldn't be able to do it since it's been lowered
I actually asked a few if I could just borrow their alignment rack for an hour and I'd do it myself
I hit about 5 different places, and only 1 of them could accomodate doing an alignment on a vehicle with 20's, but their alignment tech had the day off. Funny though, each place had shiny 20's, 22's, maybe even some 24's hung on their walls for sale...so what do they do, sell people the wheels and tires then tell them "sorry, can't align it for you though...sounds like bs to me"
I'd do it myself at work tomorrow night, but I talked to one of my buds from work today and found out that our rack can only do vehicles with wheels up to 18's
I might just get my winter tires mounted sooner than I planned so I can slap the 16's back on and get er done at work myself...I'll just have to wait until next Tuesday to do my own alignment though...I'll figure something out.
