[quote=Stewart_H;12570247]Very nice! That look is close to what I like/want.

I'm really wanting an 18 x 10 wheel though.

They have several differnet styles. I like my wheels to stick out a little but was concerned with a 10 I would get rub even with a 4" lift?

Just ordered full Pro comp 4" lift with nitro shcoks and steering stablizer. Was going to go with the zone for about half the money but the leaf springs in the front were not new merely add on to existing? I should have most mods done but Jan. really exicted!

Anyone want stock 16.5 alloy wheels with 33 x 11.5 brand new Hurcules trail diggers? I am gong to sell them for cheap. Not sure on a fair price, the tires have 250 miles on them maybe 500 buy the time I sell. They cost me $1,100 but retial for about $1250. Google Image Result for http://www.offroaders.com/tech/AT-MT-Tires/images/Hercules-Trail-Digger.jpg

Wheels have no curb rash, not bent and great condition. Any ideas. I was thinking like $1,500?

The new-to-me F250 I just bought has chrome 18 x 10's I wanna replace. The tires on it are Mickey Thompson 37's that are 13 inches across, so I wanna stay with the same width wheel when I replace these chrome jobbers.

My F250 has a 6" lift and the tires rub at full lock.

Leave tomorrow morning to go pick up the "new" 00 Excursion and catch the ferry on Wednesday to bring it back to the island.

I'm glad I put the new studded tires on it, since Anchorage has been really cold, and it may snow too... We're supposed to have snow in Kodiak for the next few days.

Can't wait...

Garry, Road Armor bumper looks slick. It is something I have been wanting. How do you like the fit? How does it look on the top of bumper where it meets the grill? I have seen some with a gap there.

Thanks,
Bryant

There is adjustment to raise or lower the bumper to suit your taste. I originally adjusted the bumper pretty snug to the fenders, lights and grille. That didn't work too good... With all the gravel roads, road sand, ice and dirt, the paint on both the bumper and fender blistered. That is why the 05 went to the shop to get the fenders and rear bumper reprinted, and I had the road armor bumper coated in bed liner and then gloss black. It came out well. The original bumper will be going back on before I sell it, and the road armor will be going on the 2000 to help protect the supercharger....

Oh, just got the new "Wade" window vent visors installed. I've put them on every Ford that I've purchased, and they are the best!

What brand is your rear center light above the bumper? Do you like it? Would you recommend it?

We are at a balmy 24 and supposed to hit 40 and rain tomorrow....

I finally took a night pic of the new hood light I put in a while back. I must say that is a lot more light than that little factory bulb.

Under door lights put out some light as well...
