JPs 2020 XLT

[jp1]

Hey Peeps!
Picked up my XLT on 02/18/2020:



Tinted the windows 20% all around,.
Pulled the 18s and threw some Matte Black 20s w/Yokohama 275/55r20 all around



Matte Blacked out the Chrome
Sprayed the rear on as I thought it would break.


Pulled the sides and sprayed.

Welcome to the forum. Sorry, but your photos on Google didn't link here so I pulled the broken links.

You need to find a site which will allow you to share links to the photos you store. Photobucket used to be good for that, but it's awful now.

The best bet is to join the Elite Explorers and upload your photos directly to the forum so the will always stay with your threads.

How about now?

Looks sharp! What brand wheels?
Why did you choose Yoko instead of Michelin Defenders?

I too have an XLT and would like to put 20’s on summer tires and reserve the 18’s for winters. Curious.

THANK YOU!!!
I bought a set of Reman Explorer Gen5 wheels. I liked the Matte Black.
BUT WARNING:
I THEN discovered that Gen5's are a 63.4 Hub and the Gen6's are a 70.5, so spacer or adapter time.
These pics show a 0.5 spacer on all 4 wheels to get over the 70.5 hub.
I have 1" for front and 1.5" for rear coming and will install with black lugs this weekend.
They should flush with the Body just about right without poking.

As far as the tires, I wanted the quietest tire I could find.
It was between the Michelins, the Yokos, and BFG T/As.
The T/As got dropped as they would get noisy quickest.
The Michelins were 3 days out and about $100 more, (in reality, just the wait time).
Yokos won.
So far (only a couple hundred miles) I like them. Nice riding, smooth and quiet.

so, I didn't like the 20% tint on the front doors, so had them replace it with 5%.
