My new wheels plus another cool shot
 
Hey guys and gals, I finally got my wheels and tires. I went with the Eagle Wheels Series 058 (same wheel as a American Racing Baja) They are polished aluminum :metal: 15x8s on all four corners. Tires are 255/70/R15 Mastercraft Avenger G/T.

I took this one cause it was a neat shot and it came out amazing. The water on the hood is reflecting the trees and sky, and it hides the lack of paint on my hood.

What ya think? I think it makes a world of difference. Truck looks completely different.

WOW! That really sets your truck off Cliff. I like it. Your grill looks sharp too. Now you just need to find a nice chrome bumper. Nice job.

Those are VERY nice wheels and tires, and yes, I think that shot of the hood is great, too!

That looks real good. Congrats. Those are the same wheels I had on an '88 s-10 blazer. I liked them alot, easy to clean. Keep up the good work. Truck looks great.

HAHA yeah that's one of several "leaf piles" as we call them even tho they are pine needles. Funny thing is, up in like the northeast near the coast, they have these wimpy little pine trees that aren't 1/3 of the size of the trees down here in La and Tx.

Looks good. :cool:
But I think it's illegal to take pics after wetting it down. ;)

A rear chrome bumper would look good in the rear.
:cool:

Good job.

BTW, Here's a 'mild' drop of your Stepper.

Looks Good. What Are Your Plans Next?

My next plans... hmmm...

Well I need to take it to a body shop so they can weld in my new rocker panels. Then I'm saving up to buy the stuff to build a new bed b/c i can't find anyone local that wants to sell a stepper with a solid bed. After I build a new bed (gonna be about 1700 after everything I need) I plan on taking it to get painted and stripping the interior so it can all get painted in one swoop. Then throw the interior back in and rework it as money permits.

Since I'm a student in H.S. I'll get everything (almost) back, so I cannot WAIT for tax season! :-p

Yeah I've been thinking more and more about a 2/4 drop....
