Haha, def. a little inspiration...your truck is clean for sure :shake:...wish I could hurry and find a Denali grill for mine so I could change the whole front end up.

285/50/20 were a perfect size on my 5/7, RARELY rubbed and i bought them brand new for 500. Goodyear eagle gt2

Why a 285? I'm not very literate on tired and their sizes/what they mean. That's not bad for all new tires though. Thinking about just staying with the factory 275/55/20 for a bit if a friend gives me a set with decent tread.

If i had ran the 275/55/20 with a 5/7 it would have rubbed a good bit. I just found a deal on them in that size and it's only like 3/4 inch difference

Ah okay :shake:

I'm happy with the 45's. Not scrubbing and hitting fender liner on every bump FTW

Good to hear :shake:....I need to find me a good set of used ones or a cheap new set baddd.

Polished the truck with the porter cable and Adams green, orange, and white pad. Topped it all with machine super wax, followed with brilliant glaze, and finally Americana. Applied SVRT to the wheels and all black plastics.

Haha, no thanks! I got blisters from that porter cable....you can borrow some of that Americana if you want to wash it and throw some wax on it.

Got my backup camera installed today with the help of Bohall. Wired it straight to the power in the head unit instead of the the reverse so I could just turn it on whenever I wanted.

Used this camera, posting this screenshot instead of a link, hate clicking links and them not working. Camera was a little more than I wanted to spend but saw a lot of people using it and wanted fast shipping from a U.S. seller.

Mounted the camera here, drilled a hole with a 11/16's bit.

Wide angle already reversed. Wish I could get that warning off the screen.

Did you decide to keep the truck I guess or are you still thinking about selling it?
