Well my wheels and hubcaps took longer than a day but here is what I've done recently just waiting to save up some for new tires..I'm thinking 235/75/15 Goodyear Wranglers will look great.

What the wheels started out as:

After sandblasting:

After about 4 coats of rustoleum and a coat of clear:

Ebay hubcaps I bought started like this:

And ended up like this to match the truck:

Truck in my sig ... Been laid up from surgery for the past few weeks. Drove it around today for the 1st time in a while. Sure was nice! That was after I checked all the fluid levels, including the anti-freeze. Good to -20 degrees.

Installed some newly painted plugs in the shoulder belt holes and bought a new seat. Picked up a 2nd row seat out of a 99 suburban for 75 bucks. 60/40 split and both seats flip up so you can store stuff under there. Saw the info from another member on the board who used one. Funny thing is I have a 99 suburban in the driveway so I went out and measured and made sure it was going to be comfortable and fit right.

I fabricated a bracket and installed this oil separator for my PCV line. I'm surprised at just how much oil is collected in 100 miles of driving.

Those work good. I put one on an Aspire I had and it collected alot of oil to begin with, it seemed to slow down after awhile.

What is the purpose of the separator? Does it help the motor?
