[menace121978]

well not much of an update but things are in motion!! ive decided on the wheels i'm running changed it up to the eagle 225's! i'm going with 245/40/20's front and 295/40/20 rear kdw2. a buddy is also bringing over some esky 3 piece engine covers totest fit so i can get the engine harness dialed in. (hopefully in the cab) i'm driving to Colorado to pick up my covers in July but i just need to know now if and where to drill the hole in the firewall for the harness. here's a photochop of her new wheels...

Those are really going to set off that style and color. i dont know you if you have ever driven in a vehicle with kdws but they are really noisey tire. they also have those sizes in toyo proxey 2s. what covers are you talkin about willis

[JohnC]

Those wheels will look sweet man!

[menace121978]

thanks to you ive lost sleep, pulled out my hair, and stressed over those damn 225's ever since i seen them on your truck!!


as for the tires i have those on my goat and i love them... they are noisey! but the performance makes up for it on the car anyways. i'll have to look into the toyo's. and the covers are the stock 3 piece fuel rail covers on the 6.0 ho motors. im getting them smoothed and painted body color. should set it off real nice and hide all the wiring and stuff.

thanks for the compliments... i sure hope they go with the older body lines and trim. been going back and forth between the coys. cant stop comparing the 2!

I have the Toyo's going on the Bull. I have had them on several vehicle before, and have thoroughly enjoyed them...quiet, great wet & dry weather performance, and they last. Just my .02

[Cherub]

hahaha sorry about that man if its any consalation (sp) you have me wanting to take mine apart and smooth and fill my fire wall.

[menace121978]

thats awesome! thanks buddy much apprieciated! good luck on your build man

[palposity]

LOVE that wheel selection! That will look awesome!

[menace121978]

got a small but significant update and a HUGE update!!

the 1st is i had a buddy bring over his frc's and they fit with the harness turned towards the cab!!! so now i know i'll be able to run the harness and ecm in the cab

the 2nd is i got the eagle 225's today!! Billy and i went on a mission down to central california and picked them up! got a screaming deal on them too! tomorrow after work i'm going to get tires mounted and balanced.

[menace121978]

for anyone intrested they fit perfectly over the HD rotors and dust cap...

and the pics dont do these wheels justice. they are beautiful and awesome quality for the money

[menace121978]

also got a few update pics from the painter. should have the cab back with the undercoating, firewall, and inside cab finished

[mcbassin]

great progress! sweet wheels!

[nlped]

Sweet! I thought you were going to stick with the Mag wheels at least for a while. I like those too though .

And, it's about time we had an update

[54Caddy]
