Great looking rig, Chris. =) Have you thought about getting flareside steps to get rid of that staggered look?

Ive thought bout it but i dont really like them to be honest. just not my thing.

nah i like the tires i have on there now. from the side they dont look big. but they are wide. they are 255/70/15's. so they give it a bit of a stance. and i dont like having big tires on a 2wd. honestly when i get done with this truck it'll be a lil street rod.

I agree Nextras. I LOVE the look of oversized tires.

not after i get my 2 or 3 inch drop kit after i refresh the suspension. the suspension needs to be refreshed after 300k miles. but once the suspension gets new parts ill be getting a drop kit but not to slam it just enough that it gets it a little lower.

 

[Watchdog7]

ok on yours i think thats fine.

Of course it's fine. It's great if he wants to run 35'' tires or 10'' tires.

There is no right or wrong way to do anything. Thank God for individuality. We all like different things. That's why you see so many 2wd's lifted. People want what they want, just like you want to lower yours.

Don't look now, but somebody put a lake in your driveway.

Rofl.. You smart alleck.



surewhynot, I was never really in a whole lot of water before (the above picture was evidence of 3 or 4 days after hurricaine ike) so when my brakes began to not work I really freaked out. I would hit the brakes and my truck wouldn't slow down! lol! I didn't know at the time they were simply wet.

I about wet myself the first time i went to hit my brakes and nothing happened. LOL

 

[surewhynot]

I was wondering what the story behind the pic was. Yup, wet brakes can put a scare in you real quick.

 

[flareside_thunder]

Pffft, I've had my truck in deeper...

 

[Watchdog7]

Took me three days for the water to subside enough for me to get to my house. I was awful proud of the ole' truck. She evac'd me, brought me back, and drove in that snake infested sewer water for a pretty good ways. Ended up getting a flat too out of it, but luckily I was able to get to a dry parking lot to change. The funny part was, my spare was about FLAT. lol! Anyway the truck did great.. Had to manuver around fallen trees and all that good stuff.

Mr. Ricer over there sure can't do that. =) Well, who knows. Maybe their fart cans can propel them through the water like a submarine? hahaha!
