got new shoes for the ford. still unsure about the rims, but the price was right.

40x13.5R18 baja claw radials on 18x10 dick cepek rims. 1400 bucks.
like i said, rims sorta dont look right on the truck and i dont like the aluminum part for wheeling, but nobody sells 18 inch steel wheels yet. i am not afraid to scratch them up. probly paint them flat black of somthing else.

not chrome!!! they are polished. i cant wait to get em dirty so they dont look so good. but really dont think that is gona happen till spring. to the close eye u will notice no front driveshaft. it is out right now getting a copy made and balanced finally. been over a year with unbalanced driveshafts. front one had about 1/4 inch wobble in it.

heres a dirty pic for ya lucas. dont worry, the truck is no show toy. built for off road. just incase u was thinking that since u are new here.

polished or chrome it all looks the same to me. a little too blingy. gotta get them to put in a mudpit at carlisle. not that i'd use it but it'd be cool. i started planning the trip today

DieselCrawler 12-19-2010 09:33 PM

AdrianD 12-20-2010 02:09 AM

Sandblast'em and paint them black :rocking:
What tires did you have in that rock-crawling pic ?

cerberusctd 12-20-2010 04:37 AM

Interco TSLs in the crawling pic, look like the Goodyear 37" military wranglers in the mud pic above.

Truck looks good man, how does it wheel with the shortened wheelbase?

DieselCrawler 12-20-2010 06:15 AM

wheels great other than the nose heavy issue.

the muddy pic is 36 inch militarys
the rock pic is 39.5x15 swampers

black is better or mud:w2: (Im just sayin)

DieselCrawler 12-30-2010 04:56 PM

a few people do call it a tonka truck. was tempted to paint it yellow with the emblems.

still a toss up thought between yellow or orange.

yj junker 12-30-2010 07:30 PM

looks good the color it is, green:tu:get the rims powdercoated flat black:w2:

FordDZLMan9191 01-01-2011 01:04 PM

I agree. Absolutely nothing shiny on that truck. It just dont look right.

Lange503 01-01-2011 01:26 PM

DieselCrawler 01-01-2011 03:48 PM
