New Wheels and Tires

18 inch rockstars with 33 inch terra grapplers






now all I need is a lift...

...and 35s...

Looks good 33's will look good with a level. If you lift it the tires will look small

I only got the 33s because it's going to be a while before I can lift it, eventually when I do I'll get bigger tires though.

look up hell bent steel get you a leveling kit there not to much

Sweet. Looks nice. Awesome tire choice, I have TG's also, love them.

Looks good

Thanks, do you know if hell bent steel's leveling kits work for 2wd as well?

^ no they dont man, im 2wd and lifted i have a 7'' lift but if you want something cheaper check out rough country and get some 3'' spindles. how much are you looking to spend?

I like the wheels, but the truck throws them off for some reason. Might be all the chrome on front, not sure yet. Let me look some more.

I probably won't get just a leveling kit, if I get one at all it will be with a suspension lift as well, but I don't plan on doing that until I get a couple more paychecks under my belt and sell off a few things. When I do lift it I will probably get the rough country 6". Not sure about what leveling lit though.

Nice!

I was thinking about blacking out the grill, how would you recommend doing that?

Pasti dip is probably the cheapest route.

I like it. Get some spacers for up front and level it. Looks great!

the 6'' rough country is a pretty good kit, i would do either that or the cst kit. i have the 7'' cst lift on mine here is a pic the cst kit is a solid kit have no complaints here.

I little write up I did


1. Remove grill from truck

2. Using the 60 grit sand paper. I sanded the whole surface area that I was going to be painting. You want to make sure you scuff it up really well, that will give the primer a good base to adhear to.

3. Spray 1-2 coats of Self Etching primer onto the entire grill.

4. Since I was going with black cross hairs, and color matched outer edge. I went ahead and sprayed my black onto the grill. You want to go with light coats. It took me 4 coats. Make sure you spray even also. If not that will cause some high spots and it will not turn out good.

5. Once I finshed the black, it was time to tape that off. That way I wouldn't get white paint on the black. (Make sure the black paint is dry first.)

6. Spray the white like you did the black paint. Light even coats.



7. Once you the white has dryed...removed the paper and tape you used to cover the black with.



8. Inspect your work and make sure you didn't get an overspray were you didn't want it to be.

9. If your work is good..now is time for the clear coat. Spray the clear coat just like your sprayed the white and black. 2-3 good coats of clear coat with be good.

10. Once that is dry, inspect your work. If your happy...move one to the next step.

11. Now its time to wet sand it. Get you a spray bottle, fill it with water. Spray your grill with the water, and LIGHTLY wet sand your grill with the 2000 grit. I'll say again...LIGHTY!!!

12. After you wet sand it...polish the grill with polishing compund. Doing this will give the grill a good shine to it...looking factory.



13. Re-enstall your grill. And enjoy your work (or pissed bc you messed up)
Crappy pic
