Nice wheels! Still trying to make a decision. I plan to go with 265 Revo's. I had great luck with them on my 01. I was thinking about the expensive Weld EVO's because of the 5 year chrome warranty. I'd leave them on in the winter. I'm sure they would be replacing my wheels every other year. :D

Ive had real good luck with Welds, but we dont have your salt issues

done the REVO's... fantastic tire.

The Panther is an 18 & 20" wheel only.

Why not do 17's Dan? The REVO is available in a 265/70-17 that's just a little taller in dia. and a 1/2" or so wider section width than the 265/75-16. With the right offset wheel (see above) that would be a good setup for stance/ asthetics.

I cosidered this program and looked closely at it. Alot of choices in wheels too...

rip,

since i'm sure you'll know this, if i can't find what i'm looking for how late can I order an'06?

Re: LBZ comes home
 

Cutoff was Fri 4/7. :( for you bud....

Old(present) body style '07's will be available to order in 3-4 weeks, with expected July deliveries.

Problem is, it appears no "Classics" (OBS build '07's) will be built w/Dmax.

The truck I posted that burned was a '99 GMC Sierra "Classic" (OBS) built from overage while they finished tooling up for the present body-style build '99's...

You better find one pronto that you can live with. It looks as though there may be a 5-6 month gap w/no Dmaxes coming to market! :eek:

That should clean up the used market pretty well...

Carrboy,

Nice truck but I too am looking for white. My son doesn't do well with leather either, right Rip?

Re: LBZ comes home
 

I'd stick with the black. Pull off the bumpers and have them PC'd gloss black, and go with some big wheels. It will look awesome. Mine is in this transformation now.

Update:

off with the black bodyside moulding

in with the body-color handles and bezels

on with front door window tint.

Also have put on Lund Avenger bugshield, my Putnam XDR, bedmat, and tailgate cover.

while I had the door panels off for the handles, I put in four 6 3/4 Kenwood 3 ways. They sound excellent. Huge improvement over the stockers


put the astrostart from the '04.5 the '06 in this morning also

been a busy couple days. Nice to have a big shop to work in though!

Be aware that there is a new recall on 06 LLY/LBZ concerning the Glow Plug Control module. Your dealer will be able to look up this info with your vin#.

Involves a 20minute reflash of the computer.

If not done and your vin is affected, the glow plugs may come on whilst driving and potentially cause engine damage.

the recall number is 06522 and affects most 06 LLY/LBZ's
