Way Cool!!!

pportmd · 06-29-08, 05:43 PM

...Painfully pretty

Degnol · 06-29-08, 05:57 PM

Disc or drum? Cool either way

I'm hoarding 9 disc wheels

DWitcher · 06-29-08, 06:27 PM

Absolutely Beautiful! How much lift on that Cruzah?

SHREG · 06-29-08, 06:32 PM

Thanks for the feedback

Drum setup at the moment. I have 2 axles waiting for disk conversion. Im going to do that over the winter. drums work fine for now. Im told these will fit disk breaks......

I believe the PO installed a 2-3" OME lift. It goes down the road perfectly..... I have owned it for about 2 month now and i could not be more happy with it.

Those rims really make the truck Greg... Its amazing seeing the difference with the before and after pictures, can't wait to see what Austin does with your half doors now

jimhendrixx · 06-29-08, 08:23 PM

Thanks.

Honestly.....im not even sure. a buddy of mine dropped them off at his "guy".... we told him to match the color. So, whatever the stock color is this is spot on....it matches the stock rim i have for a spare....

Doug_S · 06-30-08, 01:05 PM

I have the steelies on mine as well with hubcaps. I think that Land Cruisers look the best this way! Your rig is waaay cool!

Could you ask your buddy to get the # for the Powder Coat?

I've asked for PC #'s before with no answers, so it would be great if you could post that # for everyone...

Thanks and it looks

I will call the powder coat folks and pass that along asap.

Thanks for all the great comments.... we love our 40.....

drakeslayer · 06-30-08, 01:49 PM

Love the look. I just picked up 5 rims off a fellow mudder. I'm going to paint them and put 33X10.50 MT's on them. I also purchased 4 new hubcaps. I'm also going to pull my trail rack off and reinstall a stock tire carrier so I can get in the back with the top on. I'll keep the rack for overnite trail runs.

antFJ · 06-30-08, 01:58 PM

x2 on the powder coat #.. yours look great and i'd love to do the same to mine.

3doghouse · 06-30-08, 06:06 PM

X3 on the powder.

Truck looks great! Thanks for sharing.

Doug_S · 07-01-08, 06:41 PM

Along with the powder coat number, if you could also get us the manufacturer's name since there are many out there and their numbers vary.

tugdogsfj40 · 07-21-08, 01:34 PM

Are those just the stock 15x5.5 wheels? Thanks scott

mikealeus · 07-21-08, 01:47 PM

He has not answered but they look stock to me. I'm in line waiting for that powder coat # and brand name. Very , very nice look you have going with your cruiser.

MStars · 07-21-08, 10:01 PM

powder coat # yes plz. =)

Nice lookin rig

umpqua · 07-21-08, 11:55 PM

Yeah, I really like that look. I've had white spokes on mine for like 15 years. I'm really interested in going stock. Can't imagine that the hubcaps would fit on my white spokes though. Wondering what the cheapest way to get rims that would work would be.

theoii · 07-22-08, 07:18 AM

I am still trying to figure out how powdercoating and blasting turned the rims from the before picture into the ones in the after picture.

SouthBostonFJ · 10-02-08, 01:28 PM

Bump...Ever get that powder coat #?

Dude never got back to me. I spoke with him and he said he would call me back. Truth is when my buddy dropped them off he just pointed at a color on the wall and we went from there. Got lucky i guess.

I will call again next week although lots of time has passed.... sorry....

thecrazygreek · 10-02-08, 02:38 PM

How about "Grey"? Or Battleship grey ?

Thats a tuff color...
