**OHIO WHEELIN' & MEET-UP THREAD**

Why the switch?

 

i tried to find the post to answer that... but basically it flattens your springs because the shackle pivot location moves further back which causes the length of your leafs eye to eye to getting longer which also ruins your ride and spring life. something like that

 

Yeah I think I've ready that before. Probably why it voids all the leaf-pack warranties.

 

Yup, so don't do it!

But I'll gladly sell you mine when I switch back

 

Haha. I'm good I think

 

Are you still down for the expo leafs?

 

I'm at a maybe now.... it's between those or the Alcans

 

Dakars are nice too.

Alcans definitely the best you can get though, especially if you get custom made to your weight and needs

 

I gotta ask, purpose for uv/blue? Interior cab lights?

Also I'm down for a TWohio sticker

 

Yeah I got a really good quote from them Monday. I think they were like 30 bucks more than what the all pros would be. Something like that anyways.

 

No purpose. Got a few different colors. Just tried the blue ones first. Got blue, white, red, and green to play around with.

 

The LEDs are just much brighter

 

Get the alcans and then depending how nice they are, I might too

 

Any of you guys have much experience with plastidip? My budget won't allow for whole new wheels right now but I'm thinking about dipping my current alloys to either a dark grey or burnt bronze

 

Red should be the easiest on the eyes and at night.

 

I did my badges over a year ago. Still holding up.

 

What color is your truck? You've actually never posted a picture of it, so we have no clue

 

Its easy. Just put notecards around the edge of the rim between the rim and tire bead. Start with light coats, and then make sure you get a good thick layer by the end (for ease of removal).
Some don't even take the wheels off, but its a good idea.

Also don't spray them side-by-side....overspray



I did my old cars' wheels when the clear started failing on them






Held up for many years, though it never went offroad lol

 

I think I did when I first started posting here. At the moment its just a boring near bone stock black offroad.

I keep buying stuff for it but nothing has come yet

 

I've always put a garbage bags on the inside of the rim to cover all the brake stuff, while on the vehicle.
