Replaced my BFG A/T's in 245/75-16 for Some Toyo Open Country A/T's in 265/75-16. I'm happy so far. :icon_thumby:

Thanks, I'm liking the blackwalls aswell. Looks a lot cleaner in my opinion. I'm thinking of installing a small 10" subwoofer. Nothing crazy, just something to fill up the low end the 6x8's miss and distort. It's my daily driver so crazy lifts, giant tires, and crazy engine mods are not my cup of tea for this truck. In the future when I replace it I couple see a Cummins 4BT and an SAS... :icon_thumby:

your truck would look sick as hell with a black bed cover and the factory tube steps. maybe even a set of vent shades on your doors?:icon_twisted:

I have a bedcover I'm putting on tomorrow :D

I have to haul some stuff tomorrow in the bed. I'll have to post up a picture tomorrow night if there's still sunlight.

I think you right! I never though of those things. I'll have to ponder that when I have another surplus of funds. Thanks for the recommendations!

Here it is a little cleaner. Didn't have time to throw the bed cover on. I was working at the historical ground after I got off work. This was at the Webster Fall Festival just down the from my house.

Lol..... very observant!

No, I have manual lockouts on my truck. I just leave them off and put chome acorn lugs on it. I'd like to get some steelies for it but I like the stock alloys aswell.

could always take a dremel tool and take the center out of the cap could always take the bit and use a drill press if you didn't have one?

I tired that. I couldn't fit my hand through the cab to twist the hub. They don't come out very flust with the hub cap, so they end up 1.5~2" behind the cap. It looked wierd in my opinion. Sealed them up with a little RTV to keep the moisture and dust out as best as possible.

might try the older style caps from a '94 doe print rim they are the right depth and some are already knocked out for the hub. if you don't remember them check out my car domain page lots of pics in there..

I never though of that. I'll have to visit the junkyard this monday. Thanks for the idea! I might try and put those all around cause the stock ones for that year look like they belong on a F-250 cause they are so bulky for just a 4.5" bolt diameter. Thanks again!
