yea. today was a total clusterfuck. i had to go buy tools so i could cut my tie rods and tie rod ends to get an alignment. did all that and went to mount my tires. the lug nuts i bought for the truck wouldnt work because the tire iron wouldnt fit in the holes. so i bought locking ones. put those on. the nuts were tightened all the way down and the tires were still lose. i even busted a nut (no pun intended) trying to tighten those things down. turns out they arent deep enough. went to the tire shop and got new longer lug nuts from them and just decided to have them mount it while i was there.

thanks guys


i dont see it being worse than the canyon. these tires arent all that much larger than stock. i doubt my mileage will be hurt much. speaking of which i need to retune it for the new tire size before i forget.

That's the way those trucks should look! :bang:

Rims are too popular for my taste, but they still look good none the less.
i see these rims all the time online. there is one guy i work with who has them but aside from that i very rarely see them in person.

i need to finish my system. i have all the stuff sitting in my house i just havent felt like ripping my interior apart to install it. i might get a billet grill. maybe some tow mirrors. my exhaust is dumped right now. thinking about changing it to run tips out the sides behind the rear tires. maybe even changing the 40 series to a 50 series flowmaster. cold air intake. thats about it. if i get sick of it being so high might get some nfab or amp steps for it.
