I like what you have done to the wheels, I think the way you did it makes it pop more than all black.

Agreed. May do something like that to my Impala wheels since they are similar in style.

JamesDowning, your truck is an inspiration. Such outstanding work. Wish my TB was half the truck this beast is. Well done my friend. Please keep your thread up to date with any changes.

(Edit: Can't read, posted in build thread.)

Thanks buddy. I haven't done much to it lately. Hoping that will all change now that I have a proper shop to work in. No doubt I'll keep it up to date.

No problem. You truck is my desktop background. Hopefully with a little luck there will be a red version of that thing running around NE WI sometime soon.

I really think what does it for me on your truck is the front bumper setup. I need that. Bad. That exact one.

AMWeaver47's , I know this thread can be confusing but look at the subject line to keep it in focus.

No subject line in Tapatalk. Quoting helps.

gotcha, quoting from a different thread isn't so easy but I will try to do so next time to help the users who are on their phones.

Good luck finding it!

Yeah, this comment thread is not a perfect system... but I have no better options at this point. When I want to do that, I press quote, then copy the text... not too difficult.

[navigator]

yeah, that is what i will do next time. I'll copy the quote instead of the subject.
It is a little awkward but I like that the build threads stay clean.

[djthumper]

You can open this up in a new tab and copy both.

Thanks guys. The idea came to me after seeing the same wheel painted in reverse (center being black, outside staying stock finish). Plus I figured I can do a quickie in Plastidip with the rims on the truck to make sure I liked it before going permanent. I know the wheel selection is limited for these and even more importantly there's limited rim funds being an average high school student. I'll run it as is until the "dip gets ripped", then I'll probably do them with actual paint. They have actually gotten way more compliments and attention than I ever expected. I think I know the Impala wheel you're talking about. It would look sweet in that same 2 tone pattern, go for it!

Anyway thanks again guys

Maybe like these? I think these would be on a Dale Jr Monte Carlo if I'm remembering correctly.

um, yeah. this man speaks the truth. play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Most the guys here are as enthusiastic about their guns as they are their Trailblazers and Envoys. They're well equipped and have plenty of practice/training. But they're also generous friendly and accommodating. It's as it should be.

Mike, nice build you and Jordanee have going there.
I hope you got your torque wrench off of your bumper!

[mikekey]

Thanks!

That torque wrench is my new best friend. It goes everywhere with me, until I'm confident a wheel won't come off again that is......

[navigator]

I imagine it could keep an attacker at bay as well!

If they get that close, something is seriously wrong with my aim.

lol, just in case there are more Zombies than you have rounds.

After a week of trying to bring life back to my dead battery, I picked up the DieHard Platinum.

Get rid of that cross brace. Even with the caps on the top terminals I didn't feel safe running with the brace as close to the positive terminal as it is!
