Default "New" truck tomorrow!

So I just got my new rims and tires in today, went with Nitto Trail Grapps 285/75/16's on black d-windows w/ bead locks. Also got a set of 4 new shocks. I'm cranking the t-bars and putting 3" blocks in the rear so it'll definitely make her look completely different. Only snag was that I now need acorn lugs so I'll be gettin them tomorrow. I'll post pics of before/after for reference, I hope you guys like!

Make sure you post pictures please. I've got the same color scheme on my truck and have wondered what black rims and cranked tbars would look like!

I just recently saw a white/gold/black Screw and really digged it, I mocked up the wheels and they look so mean

I'm gonna use this thread as my build thread since I'm starting to pick up on doing more mods to her. Since the chrome wheels are gone I'm gonna add more black accents around the truck. I'm thinkin of starting with bed lining the bumpers and smoking the heads and tails. Then I'm gonna pick up some smoked amber cab lights and possibly some super duty mirrors. Now it's time to be different from the pack!

Wow that does look good! I've seen some white/gold with black rims and liked it and then seen others and wasn't impressed. I'll be excited to see your truck when it's finished.

If there aren't any snags tomorrow she'll be so much different, specially since I've been on bald tires and shot shocks for the past months haha

You can't put SD mirrors on a screw without major modification. The screw bases are completely different, the only mirrors that are a direct bolt on are newer expy mirrors. Good looking wheels and tires just installed toyo open country 2s on my screw.

Those wheels and tires look mean. Can't wait to see what the final result is all mounted up.
