take those brackets off, take them in and have the galvanized taken off via paint stripper, or media blasting or what now and prime them and paint them black. You'll thank me, just trust me! lol

I love KM2's!!!!! Although the tires look a lil "ballooned" ya know? Maybe a wider wheel woulda helped?
Yeah thanks!! the rims are 10in wide!! lol

I roughed mine up and mine are still showing. That's why I say just take em in and have em blasted... or a can or aircraft paint remover from a local auto parts store works the same. It's what I did my rails with on my bed.

Damn nice rig man. Everything flows together real well. I think the 33's look perfect...with plenty of room to flex it out and stuff them nicely.

Good work.

Truck looks great! I really, really like those tires! Which way are you going with the center caps? Chrome or black?

Well i kinda favor the all chrome, but i'm up for painting then to match and leave the center circle and ford oval chrome to kinda tone it down a lil.
