Nice! I really need a new set of lugs. I’ve had my wheels off like 10474829 times and they are getting pretty bad haha


I Bleed Ram Trucks

I got the lugs in bulk on ebay, it was a box of 20. The part # for the chrome lugs is 66198DX or 66198BDX for black.

Finally had some nice weather so I could wash the truck and take pictures after the wheel spacers were installed. I pulled the wheels yesterday to check the torque on the spacers - still tight!

These are before the spacers.

And after.

The stance looks much better, the tires are still slightly inside the fender flares, which is exactly what I wanted.

Looks perfect

Did you have more holes than driveway?

Some people have big driveways. Not only that, but 1.4 tons of gravel isn't that much physically. Like, maybe 3 yards. I can take pics/video of a pathway in a customer's back yard that took 3 yards of limestone sand to fill in.

Yeah my X's parents house in like 1/4 mile driveway possibly even longer and 100% gravel. I absolutely HATED driving my truck to there house kuz I'd have to get out at the end of the driveway and try to pick all the rocks out of my tires so they didn't smack my paint soon as I hit the street. Cut my fingers more times then I can count trying to pull jagged rocks out of my treads lol tires are tough as hell though, but paving a long driveway is very spendy

I have a pretty short gravel driveway, my way to get rocks out is to floor it and pray they dont hit the paint lol. Maybe this is why my paint is rough lolol

See all y’all going on about long driveways and it’s not that much. I asked a question jokingly and got the answer to amuse with it.

Then clearly you haven’t driven the state much lol. Takes me about 6-7hrs from Daytona/port orange to get to the keys
I've driven all over FL including weekly runs from Miami out and back in for years. I don't consider the keys part of FL. Anything south of the end of I-95 should be left as pristine as possible and out of Tallahassee's hands. There's only 382 miles of I-95 here anyway.

I'll beep when I head up to Jax (5 trip in 2 weeks with more to come) next Tuesday.

From Miami it takes like 8 and a half to get to Georgia from key west it would take 12 lol

382(I-95 total length in FL) miles divided by 8.5 hours = 45 miles per hour. Side roads for you.

Yeah but I figured some of these pavement princesses here would be too scared for that, your method was my main method...

Also i found out that 60mph down that gravel road also helps keep em out the tires

Well today was a good day...

I got what i hope to be the final puzzle piece to getting my black truck street legal!

bce96de04d8c00941731498c2e12681d.jpg


Well everyone here saw my black oem style LED tails, well i got these for hella cheap so im gona sand em down and “red” tint them to look like a normal red lens tail light, the only decision i gotta make will be should i leave the reverse area clear or go for a 100% red out look, which im leaning towards the full redout look

But here is the start...
