A College Student's Financially Irresponsible Build

Such a child.

Howdy John, how are things with you?

 

Pretty good, just started summer classes today to get ahead and we picked up a new puppy a few days ago

 

Been toying around with the idea of getting rid of my SCS wheels, cant get a 5th spare and I’m over it. I was told 2 weeks back in January. I’ve been really liking the new Method 701’s, but the Bahia Blue might be the color. Thoughts?

 

They aren't bad. I like your current ones better. Any thoughts to your headlight upgrade?

 

I need tires first, have close to 60k on my current set and I need to replace them soon, they're down to 6/32nds. After I buy tires I'll be buying a retrofit through a vendor on here. Planning on full matte black housings with panamera shrouds. Gonna use the switchback as a constantly on amber DRL. Like this

 

Unfortunately 35's are out of the question right now since I dont have the money for tires and a regear, might step up to a 295/75r16 but ill likely stay 285's for another 60k

 

Those look sharp, I like the idea of them and came close to buying a set a couple years ago until I realized they were impractical for how hard I am on my truck. I can't afford a random light issue that I have to solve because of being custom. It sucks but um glad I realized how hard I beat on my truck lol. If I was more of a show vehicle then I'd do it for sure. Lol. What were those eBay ones you were looking at? They looked good. I'll need a new set soon mine are starting to look bad lol.

 

Yeah I want 285s bad, but need to . Can't blame ya for probably waiting. It's a tough call.

 

Ill be keeping my stock lights just in case they condensate so I can send them back. If im gonna get new headlights may as well just get the ones I want. I'm sure the Ebay ones wouldnt be any different than my stock headlights because I can't tell when my headlights are on, the DD SS3 fogs overpower the shit out of them

 

The inner child in me wants them and my dad is pushing me to "grow some balls and get 35's" but I'm the one paying

 

Yeah keeping the stock lights are a good call. Those fogs I bet are way bright.

 

Lol that's funny.

 

Yeah with his new shop blowing up lately he’s been really wanting me to get 35’s since he installs them at least a few times a week

 

How about he gives ya a deep discount lol

 

4 285’s are around $500

 

Yep tires aren't cheap. That's also a good price if they are ok tires that is.

 

That’s for the same coopers I have rn, paid around 1k for the set through discount tire way back when. They’re $230 each new regular price
