    I may or may not want to copy this wheel tire combo... too bad I'm broke for two more years


    But I checked their site and it said the bore was 106mm, I thought our trucks needed 108. Were there any problems fitting them?

    I keep putting this off. Is that a semi gloss Por15? I have used the really glossy Por15 for other things but looking for a less shiny finish.

    I about died when I saw them mounted. The pictures don't do them justice!

    The rears went on fine. It currently is missing the front end so haven't attempted those yet. Most things we found say 106mm so should work. :D

    They are the Alpha wheels by Icon in the gunmetal grey color.

    That's our crawler in the background lol 1994 Toyota Pickup. It's on 40's but they look the same size as my 33's in that picture lol

    Finally brought my truck to the 21st century with a new head unit. Also fixed a couple other things like a flickering LED in the AC panel, as well as fixing the switch to my to lights I have mounted on the tool box. Now those lights can be controlled by the switch inside the cab or the switch inside the tool box.

    You could try running it down to where your door’s power wires go into the chassis.

    How hard was the head unit install? From what I've seen it seems pretty plug and play.
