    Thanks BamaTaco. I was going to get the Ballistic Jesters, but decided on the Addicts instead. Roll Tide!

    Anyone know off the top of your head if lugs are interchangeable between 1st and 2nd gen wheels?

    the new wheels looked great!!! til i took them to get them put on.....apparently finding people who are careful and take pride in work is hard to find. now i have to redo them all one at a time since theyre already on the truck.....fucking grease monkeys put a huge scrape in one rim and all 4 have scrapes of missing paint on the edges. attaching a picture of the truck with the wheels on and a close up of the big chip of missing paint. and a picture of my dads wheels for justin

    Would anyone here be willing to help me out with some welding? I need to tub my firewall to fit some 35s but dont have a welder. I got all the other crap to do it, just need a little help with the welding part. I could pay for your dinner or some beer or something like that. It would be greatly appreciated.

    The guy who built it for me does good work. I got some free d-rings at work but there too big for my clevaces. I may just have the clevaces drilled out haha.

    I had this one built for less that half of what a aftermarket bumper would cost, so lets say 1199 for a new one. Yes less than half that. I can always go back and have the front cut and put a 9,000lb winch in it.

    After looking at your wheel with the chip, I have to say that it looks like a section that didn't get prepped right. It should not have chipped like that at all, even if the installer hit it. Make sure when you redo that wheel that you have it cleaned and prepped really good. It won't chip again.

    By the way, not making an excuse for the installer, just advice to make sure it doesn't chip next time.

    I may have missed it but what did you paint the wheel with? Plasti dip?

    Evens welding here in Jasper, Al. He can do anything specific you want really. I just went with a basic one that lined up to the body.

    The people who built my bumpers are in nc. My front was only 250. I'm sure they could fab one up for you.

    Well, I say I'd pay money for one, but I also said no more stuff for the truck. So thanks, but I'll probably leave it alone.
