Also new tires has made a world of difference on the truck vs the gaudy wore out too wide BFGs.

nice

ZWilson07 06-10-2012 06:21 PM

I still like the others lol but I am curious as to how well those tires do. I see alot of people trying them out but I just dont like the look of them. Nice truck though, id love to pick one up but they don't offer the newer year/monthly payment ratio I like to stick around. Im thinking heavily on a 07/08 grand cherokee QD2 hemi with 30-60 k though.

I bet your wallet screams when you have to buy tires for those sizes wheels, 15's are bad enough, 17's suck, n I couldnt imagine anything bigger.

Looks great man.
But you need to get those chrome caps painted the either white or your second tone.

They look too off man.

Ive never been a fan of the grapplers, but they were made for 20s. I love them and they ride sooo good!!

99DangerRanger 06-10-2012 08:27 PM

X2 on painting the caps. Truck looks great though!

FULLSCALE 06-10-2012 08:33 PM

Lookin good man! I'd have to agree... paint those caps!

WillInThe04Ranger 06-10-2012 09:17 PM

Wished I could get my dad to drive his more. Id get him a set of those Nittos. They really complete the truck man. Nice pic.

The 35s he had on before (315s, I'm using a more common measurement) would have cost about $350 a tire. For a 15" rim, he'd have been looking at $250. I was gonna buy a 2000 Dodge Ram with 35s and 20s on it... Turned me clean off when I saw the price of them.

I have thought about painting my caps. Pedro did his so it can be done and isn't that hard.

You can earn 10K a month working on it. But maybe a lil too big for the lakes down there haha

dixie_boysles 06-11-2012 05:53 AM

buncha chrome haters!! My chrome Mark LT handles, chrome skull capped mirrors aint going anywhere! Alot of people would die to have my door handles in the F150 world! I think I have the right amount of chrome with the skull caps, handles and grille surround, but If I add more, then ya'll can gripe haha!

Don't feel bad dude, everyone hates my camo visors too lol I personally like the chrome on there. Gives it a fancier look almost.

Wow..... That. Looks. AWESOME!

SteelDirigible 06-11-2012 10:59 AM

I have to agree with scott, color matched mirrors suck. maybe if the color went all the way down.

<TX>TORKiT 06-11-2012 11:06 AM

too much white!

yeah we caught one apeice, too much activity on the lake and too hot. The water was 94 degrees in places!!

I lost a HUGE (5+ lbs) bass on a jig. I set the hook, it come out of his mouth, he went back after it on top of the water when we seen him. Set the hook again and the line snapped. FTL I was fuming mad

SteelDirigible 06-11-2012 01:49 PM

the water was 94??

what kind of electronics he got on that boat?

98liftedranger 06-11-2012 01:52 PM

I want pics of the water temp at 94*. I have never seen any water at 94*.

x2. Unless you talking about a hot tub.
in which case, you better be catching clown fish or something tropical.

dixie_boysles 06-11-2012 03:30 PM

Lol its a Duke Power Power plant lake. So its a hit water lake. The entire lake was not 94, just 94 at the Hot Hole (where the hot water discharges from plant and usually where u catch big uns). At the other end of the lake it was 78 but for the most part it was around 85 degrees.

Its got lowrance on it bow and behind the wheel, but he is gonna switch them out
