Thanks, but, I’m too old for the cute little ones. I may have even screwed up by not getting the right hand convex mirror. Changing lanes around here is dicey. Rude, impatient, entitled, “in a hurry going nowhere” ********* everywhere.

I hear ya I just changed my mirrors and I can actually see out of them now. Remember we both had the ferd style mirrors before. New ones tuck tight which is a requirement for me and I put a stick on convex the same size as the base on the passenger. Smaller but works well.
Your paint turned out great. :happy107:

Thanks, the body shop did a good job for the $$. I actually got the feeling they were surprised how it turned out! Hahahaha!

My friend told me I screwed up painting it because now I’ll be afraid to drive it. It will be sad to put the first scratch or dent in it, but scratch it, I will. If I can’t get a quote to transport it back here under $1000, it’s coming back to AZ on it’s own power.

Yokohama geolander G003’s apparently they are popular with oil field and workers. I love them they are plenty aggressive and totally quiet.

If I had known they would fit I would have got 40’s and also I kind of wish I got a wider rim like a 10-12 inch wide but they do work good.

Anyone run spacers? Just in the rear? All the way around? How do you like them?

What's the back spacing? It doesn't look like they stick out on the front

Whatever the Mickey Thompson back spacing is. I believe it was 4.5 but I’m not 100% I would kind of like to widen the stance a little bit though

Rallyes on Firetruck1984 look great, I’ve said that I intend to powder coat when I find a set, but would finish just get chewed up by trim ring?
