    Hhahaha. Try Autozone or Oriellys, or don't shave for a day and try that. :cool:
    Ive tried to get Plastidip at Homedepot and they didn't let me. Then no one would buy it for me. One lady thought about it and was looking at my arms for needle marks...WTF??

    Lmao!! Damn even if I told them what i wanted it for they still wouldnt let me get anything!

    On a side note, I spent about an hour swapping out my 8000K bulbs to 6000K in my hellas, pretty much finished my satoshi now I just have to put the grille back on, and found out how to mount my flag for the TW glamis trip this weekend ;)

    Trucks looking really good man!!
    I have a few questions,
    How hard was it to regear?
    Are those lights mounted on your bumper sturdy?
    thinking about getting some 8' kragens and mounting them there

    :D hahaha! i wasnt going to at first but then i was thinking i would regret not doing it later.. so I did it! :thumbsup:

    Thanks bro! I wouldnt say its really hard to regear but you have to have the right tools to do it. Like a press, a dial indicator to read 1/1000s of an inch to set backlash, a bearing puller, hmm and I think thats all the major stuff. But dont do it unless someone else who has done it before is helping you :thumbsup: And yeah they are surprisingly sturdy! Even when im hitting bumps and stuff offroad theyre good

    Im so glad I went with 33x12.50s! I love how aggressive they are haha and yeah nice and chubby ;)

    It came like that! I liked the aluminum so I left it :p do it! It was worth the work for sure bro
