Good to know!

So are there any reasonably priced sets of black or Chrome lug nuts available that would help me fit my my pickup?

Check eBay or Amazon. You might find something there. Or even the local Craigslist.

Well, I pickup up my pickup, Cleaned it up a bit, and threw my wheels and tires on! I need to spend sometime underneath the pickup with the garden hose washing all the mud off. I'm done muddling to say the least. Hopefully this summer I will be able to repaint the back axle, and the back fenders. I really like how these wheels and tires look on the pickup, what do you guys think of them?

Thanks for looking!

Truck's looking good Green! It looks pretty tough with the new wheels. I'd keep the All Terrain tires from the chrome wheels, but that's just me. As a general rule I've never been impressed by Goodyear's. But like I've said before, it's your truck you're the one that's gotta drive it. For right now I'm still amazed by the traction abilities of my Cooper Discoverer A/T3's. Whether off-road or on, that d*** truck will go wherever I point it!:-jammin

If i did that, I'd want to replace 2 of the tires, since the one was a different oversized tire, and keep the other that got replaced as a full size spare. For now I'm enjoying the softer ride.
Thanks for the compliment!

Are those new wheels 17" or 18"? The chrome's were 18", right?

New wheels are 18's, and the chrome ones were also 18's.

Buried Ruby on Friday, so here's some complimentary stuck pictures. I hate cleaning off mud!

Well, it has been quite a while since i have updated this thread. I have been driving other pickups quite a bit this summer, so Ruby is only at 188k and some change. I got my Windows tinted yesterday, and a new windshield the day before. I am really liking the tint, it changes the whole look of the pickup imo. I went with 20 on everything, and a 5% eyebrow. I cant think of any other mods i have done though.

Looking good! The tint and wheels really set that truck off.

Thanks Russ! I really enjoy how it has made my pickup unique! I wonder how Ubar headlights would look on Ruby.
