Default So Since The "New Truck" Is Finished....

and the wife is currently satisfied with it and me and the brand freikin new bed i decided to buy myself some new wheels and tires. i currently have Eagle Alloy 5 star wheels, VERY similar to the ford 5 star dually wheels, and 235/85/16 Maxxis Commercial tires. i ordered KMC XD Black Rockstars and Toyo H/T 10 ply 225/75/16 tires all the way around. once these come in Monday, i'll prolly get them installed Tuesday, and HOPEFULLY (fingers crossed here) if i can get my friend to quit messin around with his mud truck i'll get my truck lowered 2-3 inches, and some ladder / traction bars installed on the rear.... won't be quite this low but i'm hoping for atleast half the sex appeal of this picture

When those new wheels are on you won't be able to get it slammed fast enough.
