Default The ugly duckling got new wheels






Nothing special, but I like it. I got the wheels trading with skyhighsami, off his 04 yukon xl. They aren't perfect but neither is the truck. I like them sitting out a little further then stock. I had a set of nearly new 8 ply tires I stuck on them and away I go. I thinks its pretty good for some simple elbow grease.

I work out of the truck. Most days you will find that ugly camper top full of tools and ladders, and various wiring supplies.

Ugly yes, uncool yes, but it sure beats working with rusty tools!

She looked like this when we got it. $900 and transmission no worky.





Those wheels and tire made driving in the rain completely impossible. It threw all the water directly up onto the windshield. VERY ANNOYING!

They were sold. My neighbor bought the truck new, it had those wheels on it before it ever made it home. The truck was an 89 and when we bought it, it had 209K on it. Rarely saw rain driving. It would literally through everything on the road on the windshield and mirrors. It was extremely annoying. Traded work for the stock wheels and tires. Sold the 15's for $300.
