Just got the new wheels and tires on the work truck, I think it turned out pretty well. Its come a long way in just a couple months

Nice work truck does it have the 4 inch lift?

88Jimmy4x4 · 12-31-2004, 11:29 AM

Wow...looks great

cochino12 · 12-31-2004, 11:43 AM

Thanks for the compliments guys. It's got a 3" bodylift on it right now, I might be taking it off here soon though.

784X4GUY · 12-31-2004, 11:50 AM

Looks sharp man

Blue Beard · 12-31-2004, 12:55 PM

Even little changes can make a big difference...

Izzy · 12-31-2004, 01:37 PM

Huge improvement.

Now all you need to do is update your signature block and remove the "ugly" from K20.
I wish my truck was as 'ugly ' as yours Adam.

You cant call that a ugly beater anymore :p

Russell · 12-31-2004, 05:36 PM

Man, those look good... My grandfather can keep the Alloy wheels...

How did you go about getting the hubs through up front?

8t5Silverado · 12-31-2004, 05:40 PM

Yeah, that isn't a beater anymore. It looks a lot better than my "non-beater."

Looks good, I like the wheels.

rolson1039 · 12-31-2004, 09:15 PM

Just took a hole saw and cut a hole out, I know the chrome might chip off but it is JUST a work truck so it's no big deal. Thanks for all the compliments guys,it makes the money/time worth it when someone else appreciates it too.

Hey Adam, one more question here:

Did you need to get the wheels bored out to fit onto your truck? Or was it simply a matter of buying some conversion lugs, and drilling a hole in the caps?

Ric83 · 01-10-2005, 10:43 AM

Wow. They really set it off right. Why do you want to remove the lift? I think it looks pretty hot as it is.

Nope bought a set of lugs off ebay and took a hole saw to the caps. It all worked out real easy

ric83, I want the lift gone because I hate the look of body lifts, and since it is a work truck it just makes it that much harder to get in/out of. Oh and thanks for the compliment
