Total sleeper too with those wheels.

I have new tires coming in this week Bridgestone Revo 3 AT 285/70/17. Once there on I am going to Plastidip these wheels. I got a little dip practice this morning on the emblems. I like it, how about you?

Looks like a good job to me. Sure improves the side profile too. Goes with the door handles and mirrors well too.

Looks great. What color dip did you use for emblems ?

I used flat black for the plastidip. The Tires are on sale at Costco $70 off four, plus free install saves around $130.

Those wheels look good on your truck. They seem out of place on mine.

Have 5100s on the rear. Going to take a leaf out tomorrow to try to help ride quality. Anyone ever tried this?

One of the best looking pics I've seen of those factory rims on 2018! Great colour balance with white walls plus the two tone.

It took me a while, but here is a picture of the new ride:

Official Regular Cab Thread,  2015 - 2020-il3nikw.jpg

I won't be starting a build thread anytime soon, because there's not much to "build". However, my Squadron-Rs finally arrived (too late to see the Canyon), and I'll be getting BD to send me some square bezels and a F-150 fog kit. As predicted, the billet stubby antenna has made its way onto its third truck - truly a trooper! I'm also new to the 35mm/2D, but while it doesn't make spectacular bokeh like the 50mm/1.8G, it makes up for that with great sharpness and some crazy 14-point sunstars (see front fender). Having come from a white truck and then a grey-blue truck, the Shadow Black is slowly growing on me.

From what I can tell, the 10R80 doesn't like being cold, and will surge like crazy on upshifts. I can't decide whether I like the fuel economy of the 10R80 or the smoothness and simplicity of the 6R80E.
