Pj's 03 DC build.

Been lurking for about a year now. And this will be a rather slow build and I want to give a shout out to scott brady (original inspiration for my build) as well as boxrocket (second largest influence on my build) I bought my truck in 2014 with 96,000 miles bone stock with a canopy.

Forgot to mention my rtt also took off the factory running boards at this point

All loaded up for camping

 

Nice.

 

Sub'd. Nice build.

 

Got this bad boy lotek gauge pod. Going to order gauges after I get my new wheels (which are getting ordered this week!!! ).

 

Subd!

 

So I am playing with is idea for my wheels the front one would be the new wheel, and the rear is my current wheel. What are everybody's thoughts? The white on the fifth spoke is a sticker. (Pardon the poor editing quality, I am using phone level editing programs haha)

 

Why not do all 4?

 

Sorry meant to clarify. I will be replacing all 5 rims (spare rim too) but was limited to my phones editing program so I was only able to edit the front rim as an example and have It look right.

 

Oh ha. The new rims look nice.

 

Thanks. Still up in the air on weather or not to do the full spoke decal.

 

Wheels ordered! Got 5 scs f-5 matte gunmetal with 3.5" bs that should be here Tuesday!

 

Well this showed up today


They are now mounted on the truck! Will get pictures tomorrow in the light!!!!
