THAT is a sweet lookin rig! I've got the tan PW, thinking about having the solid black rims paint matched to tan. Definitely going with at least 35's. Still can't understand why 33's would come on this truck from the factory..

Thanks @Tpettit I liked the moab tan and would have done a desert theme if it was available when I got my PW, but now all I see are tan toyotas and rams and I'm glad I went with the red and back. I'm **** about the paint and do my best to keep it glossy. When it starts to become to much I'll do a vinyl wrap.

As for your wheels, idk.. I think maybe a matte tan like the desert tan or coyote tan. Comments anyone? I'd totally built a tan rig into a military desert camo themed vehicle.

Painting the wheel tan wouldn't be bad, but I personally like satin or matte black wheels over pretty much anything else.

Measured from ground to bottom of wheel well. Almost 3 feet from ground to wheel well :) also 3 feet from ground to top of front bumper where the recessed section in the middle is. I'd post pictures but tapatalk wants money.

Ok. Im not a rocket scientist by any means. But how in the sam hell is any little rig like that supposed to be able to handle that kind of weight? Even if the electric motors are capable, theres no way the drivetrain would be.

Hell, dump trucks like this cant handle that kind of weight...

I have the latest update. I have the free version. Not a VIP. I'm cheap and not spending money monthly for an app.
I guess if you're not VIP you only get 10 uploads a month. ***

I do have the vip. That could be the problem. It’s like a 1X fee. $5 or $5 per year. &5 ain’t **** to me. I figure $5/year is lest than a cup of Starbucks coffee (which I don’t go to Starbucks anyway)
