and those rims have quite the yota history, my dad had them on his 79 that he owned from 1992-2005, and then they went on that jeep, and i finally got them for my birthday so i traded a toyota solid axle for those brans new bfg at's. then the wheels and tires that were on my truck are now on that jeep

Really nice job, esp. with a rattle can! I'd have guessed smaller roller/Rustoleum....Love to see it when you get the rest of the stuff on!

Looks good. If you have access to a spray gun you should try it with rustoleum metal paint when it needs touching up. They have a similiar color as well. Check out last couple posts in my build thread to see how it turned out. Very very easy to do.

Looks good! feels better when you look at it now don't it?
