Cali4Runnea's (Mama's truck) Build

Doesn't that drive you crazy when you know they are so close! You almost want to drive down there to get them.
I remember when mine were on their way (they were shipped from CA), they landed themselves in MO. That's only about a 3 hour drive. They were so close I could almost smell them! What an exciting time. I'm so excited for you :)

Hehe, yes!! I was thinking about that yesterday, I could just go pick them up they're soo close! Thankie, you are making me more excited, I'm not gonna sleep tonight! lol. Gotta send us some good luck vibes tomorrow that nothing goes wrong, lol, neither one of the guys have done stuff like this before, but they're pretty smart, think they can handle it.
 
You got a good hubby and dad :) You'd better get them something very nice for Christmas!

Ya, they are pretty great. Hubs already got his, some new toys for his Tundra, lol. I'm giving my stepdad my old tires and wheels (for some reason he likes them a lot), and I've got him a weathertech hood bug deflector for xmas, since he always says how much he likes mine. =)
 
Momo- Here is the paint pen I used, it took one to do about two tires.

Side by side... really like them, the pink looks prettier in person

But obviously, this is what they were meant for...

I have a good buddy that has a show truck, like an 18 wheeler, and he does that to his truck tires. He actually outlines the letters in white and fills in the middle with red.

It's a bad a** truck too, looks like an old school hotrod. All black. Very cool and actually won best of show in Joplin, MO, the biggest truck show in the country a while back. Pretty cool stuff.
 
That's cool. For some reason my BFG's have outlined letters instead of solid, like those. i wish they were solid.

That sounds like a pretty sweet truck! Would love to see pictures. Gosh, sounds like a lot of detail on the tires, it was a pain painting them one color, couldn't imagine outlining them all!

That is a bummer =(, wonder why they don't make them all solid, they look nice that way. Maybe you could paint yours in white?
 
Last piece!

They finally made it this evening, just in time for tomorrow. They are gorgeous wheels, really well made too. Stay tuned for the finished product tomorrow! :banana:

Yeah, it's something else.

Can't wait to see your 4R with the new shoes!!

With the holidays, and these tires being less than a year old, it is going to be a while. I am ready to see Mackenzie to get her setup rolling....:bluejump:

Sorry, I was actually talking bout hers, not yours, ha!

I didn't want to hijack her thread, so I attempted to put it back on track. However, I managed to hijack it further.
 
Well, my hubby and Stepdad just left with my Runner, got everything loaded up, but took both our Runners to do it, everything was so huge! I'm so excited and nervous, I am very grateful for them doing this, but I hope they don't mess anything up, since they are pretty much wingin' having never done this before, lol. But I think everything will be good, can't wait!

P.S. Thank you guys for the smiles this morning, I had fun reading all your posts. :) :)

They do, they look amazing in person! My sucky camera couldn't even capture a glimpse of how nice they are. =D

Yea!!! The time has come! It's FRIDAY!! It's like Christmas for all of us :) Can't wait!!

Hehe, it is like Christmas morning, I hardly slept, I'm so exciiited! You know I'll be posting photos as soon as their done, may even go over to the shop and take some pics while they work on it and update ya'll. =)

Wow, that is a really nice looking truck, and huge!! Does he actually use it to transport things? Looks too pretty to mess us up.
