Black Chrome Rims

Well finally got back from my TDY that was a month long and I get home and look what my Fiance had gotten me for my Birthday. (birthday came around while I was gone) Man am I blessed. She nailed it perfect the exact rims i planed on ordering as soon as I got back. I literally was running around because I was so excited.

They are wrapped with Yokahama tires, 295-45-20 in the rear, and 245-45-20 up front.


Because I didn't use money to buy rims and tires I decided to replaced every piece in the AC system brand new. It took a little while to figure out the wiring issue with getting the compressor to engage from the previous owner however finally got it figured out. And is it nice to have cold AC blowing in the 110+ heat in Texas/Oklahoma. (well worth the hassle)


Also bought some JL Audio 6x9 4 way speakers and a new head unit. took the seat and carpet out and took the time to run all new wiring nice and neat and labeled everything. Now I'm in the process of making a custom bracket/box for the new speakers in the corners of the cab where the original 4x10s went.

Will post pics hopefully by end of the week. We are scheduled to take engagment pictures this saturday and the lady said the truck has to be included. (makes me feel proud) ha.


Do have a question for all of you out there about lowering the truck more. I bought a lowering kit off of Summit and lowered the truck 2 in the front 4 in the rear but now with 20s all the way around its to tall for me. any suggestion or tips on what to do? Im guessing im going to have to do a flip kit. Never done that before but im sure there are plenty of threads for that on here.

Thanks for looking hope you enjoy.

Re: Black Chrome Rims

I have no idea why some of my pics rotate on here. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Colton.

Re: Black Chrome Rims

I think you should bring the rear down and level it out. Looks sick!!!
