Agreed, I am sick of all those old guys with their brand new vettes chillin in their lawn chairs sippin on their lemonades talking about what kind of intakes they bought for their ride. hahaha. jk. Lets do it! Maybe the weekend of goodguys coming up in March? I think its March 12th and it will be big already since the show is their. I hope I will have my truck painted by then.

You guys should move this discussion over to the Arizona forum.

Cool! first time I've seen anyone else with painted rims with the cap and clip on them. I did mine like that but I used the same black as the truck. It makes the chrome stand out alot more on the wheels.

Thanks! Yeah, it was my grandpas idea and we had leftover paint from painting the truck so we wet sanded the rims threw some paint on and it really makes the chrome pop!

No sir, not yet. That is a photoshop.
I have the shackles and lo-pro bumpstops sitting in the tool box.
Just waiting on some nice weather to install them and trim the front springs a bit. If I need a notch I'll make my own out of 1/4" and 3/8" steel plate.

So that's how it should sit when I'm done within a couple weeks.
