Hope these Links work, I wanted to post em up here (any help will be appreciated as I did somtin wrong).

Well 2 weeks ago I stripped off the chrome and changed out my Rims again.

I put on the P265 Tires pictured above and re-tuned the tire size and did some 0-60 Runs in 2wd. Had a real laugh and spun the tires to a bogus time.

Seein the data-log went **** and sold the pro-comps and aluminum rims cause they were dangerous on Ice when windy, I went down to the Wrangler 285's and mounted them on my factory rims with OEM black centers (more on the Black later). It seems when I uploaded to photobucket I lost the pics of the new tires finally on the Truck and am pissed cause I deleted them on my phone........fkkk.

So I went from this.

To This.

To present set-up

:sorry: No Pic

Why did I remove all the chrome. Well I got some touch-ups to do and i plan to install the OEM Black fender flares, and some black powdercoated N-Fab Tubes that have the foot inserts and will run Wheel to Wheel (2 steps per side). I will then get some black vice chrome headlight and tailight lenses (maybe Azzio). From there the SRT-10 hood followed by RCD 6" Lift Kit and some 35' mounted on (i think) 18" Rims. The Rear leafs next week and the Gears will be done by Xmas. The Cam Dunno when, I have all the parts and will start a new thread on that as well as my Rear spring job slated for next Friday.

So thats the plan, and some things like sway Bar and new Tailpipe/Tips, Brake-Job, floormats are other things on the list to do.

Aaron, Its a good start Man, I coun't 12 Pieces in the first Pic plus 4 Chrome center caps = 16. Yes agree on the rest..Its comin slowly.

Thanks Got It Nick! Yes if it's not black its gonna be colour matched. Other examples are the door handles and the window visors and the diamond rails between the Truck Cap and rear Box will all go eventually. I do like my Chrome Bumpers though but think I'll get another grill and have it painted and keep the sport insert!

Tough crowd is what i want. Thanks Guys.

I like your new wheels. A little chrome is ok just not covering every inch of the truck.

Chrome is ok. I like it as small accents. Get rid of most of it and go color match. Keep the chrome wheels though I think they look good. Sounds like you have some great plans can't wait to see it all together.
