    They're 16x8 Matte Black American Eagle 137 Wheel 6x5.5 (6x139.7). Got them from Luis Montenegro (sales@sdwheelcorp.com) at Steve's Discount Wheels. Found them on ebay, then worked with him to get a pkg deal for tires and lugs too. Worked out great.

    Aired up the tires and the spare today. Amazing the difference between cold & hot weather.

    Flushed the brake fluid today - 1st time I did that, used a YouTube video by ChrisFix, super easy. Truck is at 95k miles. Fluid looked clean, but there was quite a bit of air in the lines. Also swapped out my whining front axle bearings 2 weeks ago. Got them from BamaToy1997. Easy install, truck runs smooth and quiet, and cost me $275 vs the $1525 the local Toyota stealership quoted me. Sweeeeeeet.

    Got this from House O Speed. Reminds me of the shifter my uncle had in his mid 60's Corvette when I was a kid.

    Rhino Lined the tailgate reinforcement panel and the rear bumper, and Derp'd the badging. Much better!

    The derp is peeling off the grill. I inquired about getting it Line-X'd, but at almost $200, I'd rather ask HomerTaco to work his magic ...

    Nice man!

    Reminds me I gotta update my build soon.

    Also reminds me I gotta change my carrier bearing, engine oil, and clean my throttle body again. It got dirty after only 10k miles or so

    139k miles. Replaced the original PCV valve and greased the zerks on the driveshaft. Also upgraded the stereo and speakers.

    This Friday, I'm getting the OME Dakar leaf packs installed, the rear drum brakes overhauled (new drums, shoes, and springs), and the original 130A alternator replaced.

    Waiting on my leather to show up too - any day now.

    Shocks in at 143k. Realized I need new bushings and top plates for the front shocks. So those get done next week, along with the alternator installation. Getting this thing primed for another 143k miles
