Update....

[walnuts4x4]

new taillights... finally

 

[walnuts4x4]

DGray- damn those lights made a huge difference in your truck... now just need some taillights for yours...lol

nvycrmn- yes they are DC-2... they are nice since center cap is plastic and bolted on so they will be easy to remove to buff rims this summer.... hood and roll pan are still in works gonna try for next weekend if nothing happens between now and then... my truck is last priority in body shop since i am getting an awesome deal....

 

[dgray69]

i know, if i could just make it to wingnut mart to get them, lights look awsome, now to get the 3rd brake in leds, hehe

 

[mmrseed]

the rims look awesome and yes, they would look awesome on a black or silver expy, BUT, the red looks very cool and black can be a pain in the ass. I've seen some very cool red expys, just (imho) ditch the EB tan fender trim and go monochromatic

 

[dgray69]

you should have kept all your new mods on one thread, so the would be easier to track down, and could just scroll right through all of them. i know im one to talk, but im going to wait now till truck is done then do them all

 

[walnuts4x4]

i thought about ditching tan but it will be a pain as well since upper pad of front bumper is tan... and i like my fender flairs... so tan will stay... plus planning on putting on a 12" camo wrap (camowrap.com) along the bottom that will tie into the tan.... and i should make a new post with all my mods... will do it as soon as hood and roll pan are painted.... then need new exhaust tips to go with new exhaust... then need to make a video of exhaust.... damn got to much to do.... and then school work on top of it... lol

 

[dgray69]

i know the feeling, and work seems to be picking up so my hrs to work on truck just got drasticly cut. , so now i have to make another choice, get farther behind in school, or mods to truck, such a hard decision, im already way behing in school, so will any more really hurt, lol, ill be finishing school in 2050 at this rate

 

[nvycrmn]

walnut, you can take that bumper pad off and paint it black like i did, or find a cheap one at the junkyard or something. same thing with the fender flares. i painted all of mine and did the bumpers as well to get the black. but like you said, the tan will look good with the camo wrap. here is a pic of my expy with the 35" toyos i had on there with the 16x10 eagle rims, before i started painting it! this is the pics before i started doing any of my major mods. sorry i dont have one before the lift. that was on the other computer that didnt make it home from iraq!

[dgray69]

Not as cool as wingnuts rims, but these are the ones i got from him for my expy, cleaned up and painted, will be the home for the new 36 super swampers

 

[walnuts4x4]

they do look good... man someone has good taste in toys... lol

 

[Lane24]

Those will look badass on your rig Dgray!!! That's the style I like on trucks. Save the pretty rims for cars and lowered Expy's. Can't wait to see them installed. You've probably mentioned this somewhere, but how wide are your 36's going to be?

 

[nvycrmn]

yeah, mine arent as nice as those ones. i have those tires that you see there sittin in the garage with those rims. was gonna sell em but im just gonna throw some nice mud tires on those rims and use those when i do mud runs at azusa canyon.

 

[dgray69]

there 36/ 10.5 just wide enough for the rim, with out rubbing in full turn

 

[Lane24]

Cool... Swampers always look massive anyways. A 36 will be insane.

 

[walnuts4x4]

yeah I wish you would hurry up and put the tires on already I wanna see what they look like... or you gonna be like me and wait... roflmao... but defiantly like the way the silver looked on the rims

 

[nvycrmn]

so those 36's are goin on 16x10.5 rims?

 

[LightningExpo]

Hey walnut where did you get that prerunner bar and whats the brand? Looks good

 

[dgray69]

rims are the 16x 10s i bought off walnuts, the supers are 10.5 wide, and answer to pre runner? is his is a prefab pre runner, and i made mine , yeah the 36s will be sick, wait till walnuts and i get together for some off road fun and post pics. wish we had more lifted expys around here, be nice to get a good group together. the 36s will be tight, but trucks almost paid off again, no more refinancing or useing it as coladeral, so i may cut fenders, put on flares, and poss but walnuts 37s down the road a little bit, then it will be bad a$$

 

[nvycrmn]

i might have to look into getting those tires for my other set of rims. once i move back to the midwest (iowa), we can make a yearly offroad trip or something. i can use "visiting my family in canajoharie" as my excuse to drive my truck all the way to NY!

 

[dgray69]

that would be cool as hell. im sure walnuts would agree, our club has several places we run, and i also belong to 4 other off road clubs, so theres always something some where.
