that's more than enuff time to get them together, unless they are a set of KMC's molaugh

I got em Mike, was driving all day looking for a new tow rig and picked them up this evening and just got them mounted and took the rig off jackstands! You have no idea how good it made me feel. Those wheels are insane. Quality is top notch and they are not near as heavy as the KMCs. Mounted up with no problems, only took about 3 hours to make it happen. I think I lost about 20lbs per corner with them. I will go snap some pics when I get done surfing. Thanks for the concern guys, glad to see the crew cares! :drinkers:

NICE! Can we close this chapter now Matt? :flipoff1:

bentandtwisted · Mar 22, 2008

We need pic's of the wheels already, I know what they look like

and pic's of the new tow rig

blacksheep10 · Mar 22, 2008

Matt, don't be a homo. I want to know how the test drive went, and how the wheels look

muchado · Mar 22, 2008

Matt's bein a lazy ninja... where the pics at foo!??

bigsilly · Mar 22, 2008

Ok, where are the pics?? :flipoff1:

BamaTJ · Mar 22, 2008

OK guys, I have no camera so I am SOL on pics. The ride was great, drove it to my new house and back today and I loved it! I did not get a tow rig, the wife and I are doing some talking on the subject this weekend. Basically trade in on my truck means a 8k loss for me, so I may just keep it since it is paid for. If I keep it I will be rolling it for 10+ years. If not I may sell it for a 03 2500 Laramie. Basically, all I can get for my truck is 9-10k and a trade for an 03-04 with 100k plus on it. I had an offer for 8k and a trade on a 2003 dually, but I could not go dually. It was just to redneck for me as it was covered in chrome. Not trying to offend you dually owners, but I just can't go that way.

$8000 loss is a lot of diesel....or a clapped aout Honda that get 28mpg. If you sell you are not doing the right thing IMO.

those look damn good! I cant believe how different your jeep looks from just a year ago.

As for the truck. Keep it and rock it for a long time! I bought my '02 Duramax with 13 miles on it in '01 with that in mind. Now its '08 and I have close to 120k on it. The pressures have recently been there to get something more suitable (mine is lifted). But I'm going to make it to '09 if not longer. 7 or 8 years with the same truck is hard to do these days, but the thought of trading it for some other truck of same vintage that isn't modified and buying a car makes me cringe. I know everything about my truck, I know whats been done to it and how its been driving. Nuff said.

My vote is for you to keep driving the piss outta what you got. You've got a seriously bad ass truck. Everything you want. And in 6+ years you'll be looking back saying the exact same thing I just typed above.

looking good man,,.,,

wngrog · Mar 23, 2008

Now that you have those other wheels off, I realize just how bad I hated them

Those look SO much better. ALL of the custom TRs I have seen in past has a funny looking non-polished center that was kind of flat. Those look excellent. Most excellent.

looks great Matt! those HDs from TR are pretty damn sweet. I wish could have gotten those, but I got my TRs and IROKs for about the same price as just those wheels.....
glad you finally got a good set of wheels man..
