Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Got the hood on (still have to move the lines around a little and trim out the sound deadener) ; slapped the trim on the lights in the rear, put the plate on the rear (waiting for the new tags), put on the wipers.

Earlier in the week, I put the wheels and tires on after she was up on blocks for a long time. When I stepped back to look at the hood all closed up, something seemed wrong. The drivers side was a tad higher.....
Oh No! I thought I'd already lined everything up. I took a measure...It was about 1/2 inch plus off. So I did a visual....Huh?

Seems somebody put both rears (275/20's) on the driver's side, and both fronts (245 x 20's) on the passenger side. I wonder who was stupid (and/or tired) enough to do *that*?
Same guy will fix it on Monday.

Did you have trouble with the front wheels fitting on the rotors? I put 18" fronts and had to maching the rotors.

There's a forty or so page on the Boss 338's showing about every molecule of stuff ever for those that want to read it.

I had already ground down the rotor "nose". So the back wheel fit on the front really, really well!
