    so i plan on ordering the summit racing rims too, not sure of the 84 or 85 series (D's or O's) but what are benefits to steel wheels? how about cons?

    my MT/R's came in when I was still in school, so my dad took the truck down to swap them for my KM2's. On the invoice we got they said my rear passy wheel was "warped"

    I took a 8" string and looked at the circumference of the wheel, it looks like the whole thing is warped (somehow) a tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiny bit. idk how the fuck that happened, but it's holding a bead fine.

    That's like my only mostly un-damaged wheel too...

    I got these wheels and 70% tread KM2's from a friend for $800 awhile back, can't complain.

    I wanna switch it out sooner than later though, when I wheel I always get scared that wheel's gonna pop a bead

    Also, ordered a OffRoadAir CO2 System.

    Finally, got my 6" light from JasperOffroad's group buy. Going to mount this as a rear light, need to order a switch today.

    Not today....last night. Finally got a chance to swap my guage lights to LED's. the red looks great. the pics don't reall do any justice for this mod but WOW, what a difference. Also got my new HU put in last night. The sound is MUCH better in the cab now there is a bit more power pushing the new speakers. Sorry pic one is blurry. Pic one has the lights dimmed about 50%. I turned the dimmer up all the way for the other two. I now only have to do the climate control bulbs...when I can find some that fit.
