derekabraham's build!

I like my stock wheels.


I'm just painting them black.


I took care of the rubbing already. Now I just need the cab mount chopped a little?

(I need to research that. )

 

Do it!

 

yeah...i wanna see before and after pics of the cab mount(body mount) chop and reinforcement process before i get my 285's

 

I think I'll go up to Demello and have them do it. I haven't rubbed it yet, but I do go off-roading frequently.

 

and i'm using the Duplicolour spray on bed liner on my steelies ... should hold up better than paint...there was a thread about it a day or two ago and they looked rad to the power of sick!! haha

your rims would look B.A. Bed Liner'd

 

I saw the Nissan wheels. They looked great.



I would, but these tires are already heavy enough. I don't want to add any more weight.

 

haha i know what you mean but i can't see it adding too much weight...and if you off road a lot it would hold up a lot better than rattle can, painted, or even powdercoated wheels...plus that Duplicolour spray on stuff is cheap...and if they do get fcked its a quick and easy fix

but to each their own

 

Yeah they're awesome! I don't know. Maybe.

 

haha i am a very convincing person

but for your needs it just makes sense!
Form ANNND Function

plus i think it would look good on your truck if you did that but tape the Toyota symbol in the middle off then painted that white...they would really POP then

 

For sure dude! I was actually thinking about painting the Toyota symbol red.

 

Tires look awesome, Derek! Just curious, around how much did those run you?

 

PM sent.

 

or that!! haha

Red would be more...in your face, whereas the white would be a more subtle yet cool look


it all depends on what you want...i like in your face with some things (like my BRIGHT ASS NEON ORANGE bike leathers) but more subtle with other things (like my bike being all black)

 

For sure!


We'll see.


I'll do red first, and then paint it white if it doesn't look right.

Truck is looking good Derek!

 

So, you left the '4'? Any reason why?

 

I thought it looked cool.
