hey guys:

started with 295 nitto trail grapplers.

then moved to an ARB front bumper.

recently just ripped off the running boards and added some tundra steel wheels painted semi-gloss black.

 

[sonk76]

Looking great!


Btw, what was the reason for moving to the steel wheels?

 

[uzj100]

Those wheels look great!

 

[DallasCrzr]

Hey man, nice wheels. Hopefully ill be calling you for help with the arb bumper sometime soon if youre still down for that

This is a sweet truck yall if you didnt know. Are you considering selling the stock wheels?

 

[FullyLitLED]

Loving the wheels! They are better than that gray oem finish

Loving the wheels! They are better than that gray oem finish

but twice as heavy. . .

 

[aggietoy]

because black steel wheels look awesome. and they are cheap. and i don't care about taking care of them. and i can get some money for my alloys. and i don't look like a soccer mom. and they look awesome.

 

[DallasCrzr]

Im gonna pm you about the alloys...

 

[FullyLitLED]

but twice as heavy. . .

Which is why I went with 16" black pc alloy lexus wheels

 

[Yukon LX]

I agree, i like the black look a lot. its just a little more wear and tear, esp on brakes. I would go pc or rattle can alloys over steelies.

 

[DallasCrzr]

Steelies are repairable with a hammer...alloys are repairable with a forge..

If brakes were a concern we probably wouldnt be driving road tanks with huge tires

I like that there seem to be more and more DFW 100's on here!

oh and gig 'em.

Fightin' Aggie Class of '09

 

[aggietoy]

different folks different strokes!

class of 99. thanks for making me feel old.

i can replace the brakes more often, that's fine. i mean we drive trucks that get 10 mpg, cost has kinda been thrown out the window.

Black wheels AND you loosed your arbys? Damn! Now you need: Snorkel, Spotlight, Roof Rack, Slee Rear Bumper/Sliders/Skidplates/Drawers and I'll have a twin!

 

[aggietoy]

im working on the roof rack next. sliders this summer.

Truck looks great with the black and silver theme, just loose your chrome prease.

 

[uzj100]

What size are the tires? Are those steelies, 17 or 18 inch?

 

[Trunk Monkey]

Love the steelies. If only 18's weren't so damn expensive.

 

[smm3]

Looks fantastic!! Silver is my favorite color as far as cars go!

 

[Kenso]

I love it, looks much better! Can't wait to get an ARB on mine after looking at yours.
