    Thank you!

    I'm searching for some snow tires at this point so the stance may go away for a few months. I think this Saturday I'm going to pick up a set of 15x7 Jeep Cherokee mesh wheels. Planning on painting them gold and adding a maroon stripe around the rim. I'll keep you guys updated.

    I love your working man's truck. It looks very cool. I've thought about a similar metal work rack for the back of my 95 Extended Cab; it increases the practicality of the truck, but decreases the likelihood that my wife will ride in it!

    Nice sign work, too!

    i usually dont like camper shells on lowered minis but damn yours pull it off perfect. it might be because the shell matches the contours of your truck haha

    Great Looking Truck:jawdrop::bow:

    I'm usually not a fan of toppers either but I needed it for work. It's kinda growing on me.

    The wheels came off of an 88 jeep cherokee. The black that was on them was starting to chip off in some areas and I've always wanted gold wheels. Should be ordering the tires today.

    And thanks for all the compliments guys, I really appreciate it.

    They look similar to the old school enkie 92 wheels (without a decent lip) or the riken copies. Had em on a fox mustang. Love em! Gold looks good.

    Once again, walmart tire center lets me down. I'm so done with that place. What's the point of advertising a tire and not being able to order it?
