It's a universal B&M kit, uses a popular oil filter(old Ford V8, or Dodge V8).
Simple hookup.

So they didn't sell center caps for a 4x4 eh? How did you cut the cap?

I like the wheel.

Mods look good. Did you ever put the new rear diff cover on? Also is the weather strip mod worth it as far as road noise?

Idk actually, I just figured easier to cut these than look for 4x4 caps. Lol. I used a drill bit in a dremiel. Than cleaned it up with sandpaper wheel.

Yes I got the cover put on, idk if I actually took a picture or not though.

And yes, the weather strip mod made a noticeable difference in road/wind noise.
