New Rims.

Nice truck. If you plan on doing some trail driving, I would consider either getting bigger tires or taking the running boards off because ya might hang them up on the trails. But even with bigger tires that could happen. Plannin on a suspension lift or a SAS to that in the future?

 

[Jd0gg919]

Thanks. I could have fit 33x12.50's but i didnt want to push it with the rims and I was sick of riding around with the lift and no tires so I settled for the 32's. Maybe as the years go by it could to into a SAS'd beast but probably not anytime soon. I'm only 17 so as long as it looks good for now i'm happy.

 

[Glen4X4]

Yeah....in the beginning I thought in noway I'd want to SAS it but once I get some money saved I want to give it a suspension lift so if I'm gonna do that I think I might as well SAS it . Have you done the BWM to yours?

 

[Sams01XplrSprt]

nice explorer and nice sound as well

 

[Jd0gg919]

Nah. I haven't really researched it or anything. What exactly does it do?

 

[91exploreron37]

Yea that flowmaster does sound pretty good

 

[91exploreron37]

Oh yea and heres a little something about the BWM

[Jd0gg919]

Preciate it. For just a single 40 I'm pretty happy with it. I've read into the BWM and since i'm not such a avid off-roader I don't think it would be necessary even though i'm sure the benefits are nice.

Thanks for the feedback

nice x
love that color, maybe rattle can the wheels to match and leave the center caps "chrome"

 

[Jd0gg919]

haha I hadn't noticed the color difference until you just mentioned it. I guess it just never really registered to me. I would paint the wheels but I want DC-1's instead.

 

[91exploreron37]

Does everybody want those wheels? Not saying anything bad about them or anything

 

[Jd0gg919]

Lol. They seem pretty popular to me and i just really like the way they look. At first I was thinking that i would want an all black wheel but with these i like the black ones, but they still have the chrome on them which i also like.

 

[91exploreron37]

If you paint your wheels black then you will have an all black wheel with a bit of chrome in the center. lol jk but it would look good

 

[Jd0gg919]

that's true and i was thinking of doing that at first but i also want wider wheels for when i get bigger tires...even though thats not going to be any time soon seeing as i just got these tires about 2 weeks ago. But i'll be going 33x12.5 next time and i'd feel safer with a 15x8.

 

[Lankhimself]

That truck is gorgeous. Nice work, man.

 

[91exploreron37]

Theres people running 35x12.50 on stock 15x7 wheels but I also would feel safer with a wider wheel

 

[Jd0gg919]

Thanks Lank.

Yeah i would have ran the 33's but wouldnt the thin rim make the tire seem skinnier? Or at least more round at the edges? Idk i just prefer the safe method even if it costs a bit more.

 

[91exploreron37]

Yea it would make the tire look skinnier and theres more of a chance of you popping the bead off the rim

 

[Jd0gg919]

This is true.

Nice X by the way. I like the brown.
