Le slicksierra build thread

PSA... the HD style led ID bars will not fit below the tailgate on a non HD truck without a body lift. That is all

Had to order some 3m gloss black vinyl for a sunstrip because the stock glass is tinted blueish purple at the top and I hated that. This one measures about 4.5" in the center, just enough to cover the stock dye, then down to the AS1 line on the sides. Not a straight strip by any means because that's just a bitch to cut and shrink. But don't think this looks too jdm.

And those ear fluted turns. I jumped on a set when I saw those to match my stock cleared heads.

When are the new shoes getting ordered?

Nbs clears. I am trying to get into a pickup soon.
But I look for pretty much any nbs clear I can find. Even I'll buy it even if i don't have the truck, i know a bunch of people with nbs trucks that would love clears

True and I would rock them so hard could run Amber turn signals without an Amber lense... Win
 
Tires came in, waiting on wheels for Monday. Even to the naked eye I can see the difference in the width of the nittos and the toyos. 12.5 vs 11.5 and you can tell.

But they are going on slightly wider wheels so maybe they will fill out once they get mounted.

The real story here is they are P metric so a lot less stiff. Final weight tallies are in too:

Old set up-

LT295/55/20: 73lbs
SS wheels: 40lbs est.
Total: 113 lbs.

New setup-

P285/70/17: 48 lbs
17x9 Racelines: 25 lbs
Total: 73 lbs

So that's a difference of 40 lbs per wheel for a total of 160lbs of unsprung weight reduction. Should help the little 4.8 a good bit

the big differance is because you went to a wheel thats 3" smaller in diameter and a tire thats a AT instead of a MT.
 
I need to calculate mine out to see if I'll loose any weight going with these. They will probably break even though.
 
Any suggestions on where to get chrome or stainless lug nuts? Totally forgot since these wheels will be the first I have with the lugs exposed
