The Black Hole

[gmanpaint]

New wheels installed:

They definitely fill out the truck more, and give a wider stance. The tires are a full 1.5" wider with these on. Just for kicks I measured from outside to outside of the front tires, measured out to 77" wide. They tie into the front skid plate well like Turdle said it would, He is a genius sometimes I also installed 8 OZ of .20 g air soft BB's per tire for balancing while I was at it.

What do you guys think?

I think it all looks great. But then it was my idea- Just something to get away from all black.

Those look Quite amazing if i do say so myself. Will the other rims be making an appearance on the first gen?

Are you at all worried about the front end and lack of protection, or were you not planning on running a front bumper at all?

I like the PC, really stands out!

The Black Rock Crawlers will go up for sale soon.

I am still building on the front end. A tube bumper is being designed and will be installed in the near future for protection.

I have to admit, the color scheme was your idea. I really appreciate a Master such as yourself, having the foresight to see it completed, and how it will look.
Thanks Jon!

It looks great, but that is looking way too clean and new there. You need to go break it in to make it look right.

Man have those wheels been around the block. I bought them off e-bay from someone in St. Joesph MO and ran them a couple of years. Then I sold them to Jon. Jon never ran them but I think they were on Bryan's Mounty & now they are on Gregg's.
