I can’t believe it’s been almost 10 years now when I started my build. I finally installed carpet a couple of months ago and the build is complete lol

WOW! I just read every word. My gosh! You are very skilled as well as patient. I am only in the "mock up" stages right now so this is inspiring. I totaled it in 2007 so It's been a while since this truck has seen the road. I have moved it from house to house under it's own power but haven't driven it in 13 years. I have owned it for 31 years and used to wheel it in the Rubicon when I lived in Cali. Thank you for finishing!

I am thinking about updating my wheel's and tires. Anyone have any recommendations? I am looking to go 20 x 10's rear and 20 x 8.5 up front.

what kind of look are you after? Do you want to stick with a 5 spoke, do you like a deep lip or a flush design, chrome, polished aluminum, painted (what color)? Too many choices to just spit one out that you might actually like.
If you're into billet wheels, Billet Specialties and U.S. Mags have some very nice, high quality wheels. Intro Wheels has some that are a little cheaper, but still nice (although some have complained about their polish not being show quality), Raceline is another brand that has many different designs to choose from. There are several others, most will offer powder-coating at an additional charge. Be careful though, it is definitely true in the wheel world when they say, you get what you pay for. |

Updated wheels would bring this truck to the next level. Affordable, I’d look at the billet specialties speedway, polished. Wanna spend a little more, besides intro, also take a look at esajian. Their hole shot wheel would look killer on this truck

great read!! Just did the entire thing, what a journey, but what a great truck you have!! Wheels would be a good change. I like the ones you have, but you could change it just a bit, kinda like changing its makeup. lol
