Got my new wheels and tires... (pics)

A lot of you probably saw them over in the other forums, and since
it has been a while since I posted in here, I figured I would show
off my GARAGE SALE find in here as well.
I picked these up for $200 at a garage sale. Made a HUGE improvement
in the look of the truck. Also got rid of that 55mph shimmy I had
in the front end. Thank goodness.

WOW! Your truck looks great. I can't believe you got those wheels and tires for $200. Good find.

Amazing what tires and wheels will do for a rig. Made a world of difference on mine that's for sure! Great find.. Guess that's why my mom used to drag me them things on Saturday mornings...haha

Double poster!!!

It's all good, Wade. I was really happy with the deal I got on mine, too, and wanted to show them off. You still beat me by half though on price-- but I am definitely not complaining.

I wanted to post again to say- Gray IFS trucks rule!

Thanks guys. I really wanted an extended cab as well, but at $800
I sucked it up and decided I really didn't NEED an extra cab. I was
a little worried about getting a stereo in it, but after I stuck a
"bazooka" tube in there, it is just as good as any stereo I have.
Well, almost.
Bucket seats made all the difference in the world. My wife hated
riding in it with the uncomfortable bench in there, now she asks,
"can we take the truck?"

Thanks for the comments guys. She cleans up really well, and
the pictures show it. I need to take some when its clean. That would
make more sense, but I was so excited about the wheels/tires, I
never thought twice about it.
Now if I could just find somewhere to take it off road. Last time she
went off road, it was just mud, and that was fun until I had to clean
underneath.
Wish I could find some trails or something. Maybe I should make
a trip somewhere...

I've always liked the Outlaw style wheels. They look good on your truck. Money well spent.
