I snapped a few pics real quick today. The truck is dirty and the weather was crummy.

MMMMMMMMMMMM.... Tasty!

Those wheels are killler on your rig, man. Fine choice with the Bronze finish.

Nice.

 

[rickashay]

Spectacular.

 

[redrunner02]

Would spidertrax 1.25 fix that rubbing issue?

 

[JadatheRottweiler]

did those center caps come with the wheels?

 

[DarkSideGTI]

yeah they came with them.

That looks awesome! Silver and bronze definitely looks killer.

 

[awpsome]

[corny]

Bronze wheels ftw!!!

 

[GottaBeTRD]

i don't think there is a word that can compliment those wheels on your rig. just WOW! I hope to see it rollin around here in person one of these days.

I'd have to agree with everyone else. Those wheels are sick! Every time I see a sweet set of bronze wheels I have to restrain myself from getting out the credit card!

Sick build sir. Love the wheels? What kind are they and where did you get them?

 

[BeachWagon]

Just had to say your rig is my new inspiration to pick up a new ride and start fresh. Keep it going.

Good God your t4r is sexy as he**!! I love those rims just like everyone else lol. i just might have to snag up a set when i upgrade to 35's in the future =D (probably at least a few years tho haha).

Good job man!!

Thanks. I'm up in Sandy, don't really head down to Utah County too often.

Thanks, the wheels are 17x8" Konig Countersteer Type X.

Over the weekend I also installed a Yakima snowboard rack. The color is almost a bronze too, which is pretty cool.

Next up is probably some sliders. I don't think I will do much hardcore offroading, but need the step for some people to get in. I already had a few girls struggling to get in my truck after the lift. I had the idea of possibly painting them in the hammered bronze paint to match the wheels. I'm still uncertain on that idea though.

I knew that thing would end up being bad a$$. Saw the pics on flickr, so I had to come on here and track down your thread again. Duratracs right? How do you like them so far?

 

[PhdNPrerunners]

Any updates on this rig?

 

[Kowitz]

Man, your truck is great looking!

I hope to have my own soon. Im looking to pick up a 3rd gen as my DD/camping vehicle.

Enjoyed reading through the thread!
