Perfect weather, got some seat time in the 53.

Knocked the dust off the 53 yesterday. For the record, Unexpectedly the truck was drawing lots of neck breaking attention yesterday. I probably could have gotten in another 100 miles of cruise time if it wasn't for everyone wanting to chat over the truck. It's funny to me because I have a laundry list of plans that I want completed to make her mine yet the world loves her as is.

So the new wheels arrived last week, and they set me up for my future stance perfectly - rear is a 18x9.5 w/nitto 285/35/18, front is 18x8 w/nitto 245/45/18. Now I can swing my focus on getting her leveled out.

Here she is with her ganster lean - lol:

I like the stance. I think it sits good.

Looks Great! I learned the hard way this year, work on 'em in the winter and enjoy them (drive) in the Spring, Summer & Fall whenever possible. I got mine torn up and won't get a cruise in this year

BJ, yeah that's happened to me in the past with other projects and it made for long summers. I feel your pain and I'm going to avoid it the best I can.
