looking awesome dude!:pimp:

very badass, and the suede paint look is great :E

The suede paint is fokin :pimp: I gotta do that to my truck!

Looks great. Do I hear bags?

looks good man!

:E I love black primer....and it has shine too though...not too much just enough...Nice feckin truck dude...looks great

Smooth:E Looks awesome keep up the good work

Well I got the galaxies on this mornin, and HOLY SHIZZ the truck needs to be dropped agian, them mofos raised the truck up bout 2in. but man they sure look nice fills the wheel wells better then the 16s, ill get some new pics up later today

looks real good man, that primer looks smooth, those centerlines will look awesome on there too!

looks sweet shaven and black primed...what size drop u have now

I got a 3/4 drop now, been thinkin of cutting one coil off my springs and gettin a 2in. block for the back but I still dont think thatll be enough and I juss almost spent $3000 in the last month. Maybe next year I can afford to get it painted and maybe bag it and redo my exhaust. it would be soo much nicer if I knew some body people here in Wa

how do u get in the truck if the handles are all shaved? its a dumb question but im new and dont know. lol

I push a button on a remote and my door pops open. Cept Im still waitin for them to send me a new solinoid and brain cuz the one they sent me supposedly fried itself when I changed my battery, bad this is its supposed to rain tommorow and I have to keep one window down so I can get in. Ill have some new pics up tommorow Im headin to the Les Schwab show

where's those pics man?

Sorry for taking so long to get the pics up here are a few with the wheels on, oh yeah I GOT MY DOORS WORK IN NOW WOOHOO!! lemme know what you guys think

Can I have 'em back? JK! They look nice! they really set the truck off. drop that front end a little more!

...*click*... psssssshhhhhtttt .... thats what ya need :)

looks really really good though man! great start!

Mike

your truck looks tight man, a suggestion though, I would do slomething with teh front (grill and bumper, grill surround maybe) to really set it off. Really like the wheels.

Are all 4 wheels the same??

Just to me, I would think having a rim like that that has the spinning/swept look, that you would want one set for the drivers side and a reverse set for the passenger side.

The way they are on there now, the drivers side rims "sweep" towards the back, whil the passenger side rims are towards the front.

Just one of those things that looks wierd to me.

:nixweiss: :E

Looks really sharp! Love the paint job, very clean!

that only works if the company makes the reversed wheels. Most don't.

my rims are like that. too bad Mondera didn't make a reversed

dude looks good as hell

Heh, I always laugh when someone says that...Dude, you're Oximoronic...

Hell might looking really inviting to some people.

yea,, like George W Bush... *ducks*

Looks bad ass man!

Thanks for the comments guys. But unfortunatly I guess I had a lil accident with a pothole and now one of my wheels has a crack in the back of it and no machine shop wants to touch it for me (its even one of the wheels I had new tires put on) Les Schwab wants $378 for juss one wheel and I cant find another shop that will order them for me, but thats ok its gettin close to winter time anyways and they were goin to come off for that and will be back on in Feb. Well in teh first year of owning my truck I had it dropped 3/4, had some 16in wheels on it, billet grill and soem other misc stuff, This year had 18s on it, shaved the truck (two of the most expensive things I did to it, i got $1100 into the wheels and $1700 into body work and primer) Hopefully I can have most of this paid off before next summer so I can afford to either do the 2.3t swap and paint, or find a place that will bag my truck for me for under $3000

Hey man. Use some cold weld epoxy kit. i dont know how big it is but one of my friends fixed his crack with it and it held.

Looks good man, you truck needs to be a tad lower in the front, just like mine, lol. Im just waiting to correct it the right way though :E Real nice nonetheless.

he bro im in wa and know a lil bit bout air bags and my friend by be able to help

looks awesome man

Hey Rangerbs, its always nice to meet some local RPSers. Yeah I want to bag it but the cashflow turned on me so itll be some time befor eI get the funds to bag it but when I do ill def be in touch. I remember seein in MT mag once a ad for a place that does bags ou tin Olympia and told myself i would drive down there and look but I never did.
