The best fix will cost $100.00... manual hubs on the front.. cut the cap (there is a trim line for the cut) center out.. this will look professional...

Oh.. put manual Warns on my 90... worked great..

Thanks guys...! I'm really loving the look. The lift from the springs. All around, it's so much nicer.

As for the decrhoming...I have done the windshield trim, mirrors and the door handles. What's left is the F/R bumpers and if I keep the running boards (still on the fence about that one), then I'll do those do. I may take one off tomorrow and see how it looks. I hadn't really been paying attention as I get in the truck now...until the last couple of days. And I don't actually use them for getting in/out. So, I may play around with that tomorrow...we'll see. I do like the look of them. But I'm putting on the Bushwacker flares too...so, taking them would facilitate an easier flare install (no Dremel'ing).

I'm really liking the look of the red contrasted with the wheels. My main goal was to get rid of the chrome bits, like the mirrors, trim, etc. That stuff is done. I'll powdercoat the bumpers and maybe I'll do the wheels at that point too. We'll see...

I'll update when I make a decision...should be soon!
