New Stuff (just snowed here so the truck is filthy)

I have slightly better pedal feel with the new rotors and hawk pads too. Contemplated rear powerslot rotors but we didn't have any in stock so I dropped a whopping $60 on the pair of napa premiums. Oh and my new wheels should be at the powdercoater by the end of the month :secret:

New wheels? Will you be looking to unload the current deuces?

[Max]

Naw I'm putting hakkapeliita snows on the current wheels. Either these or blizzaks

AWD + Snows + Blower should be lots of fun.

[rockymt21]

Word, are the wheels being pc'd the nnbs chrome ones? I don't remember where I saw a pic, but I did.

[Max]

Nope it's a surprise. I think they'll be two colors. Sticking with 20s.

Can't wait to see the surprise....two colors?? They should be black on black to keep the look you got going.

[Max]

They'll be two shades of black or gloss black and another color. If I do the other color I'll be getting a pinstripe to match, found an old boy who does amazing work on hotrods to dial up the pinstripe and tailgate design.

Max, Are your current wheels NNBS Silvy 20" wheels?

[Max]

Yep used to look like this

I need to get on some snow tires PRONTO... My Tahoe was scarier than shit in this ice storm with the 24's on summer tires. It was like trying to steer a cruise ship through the Panama Canal during a Tsunami.

[Max]

These nittos are pretty good on ice, doubt they'll fair well in 3"+ accumulation tho. Decided the wheels would look goofy in two colors so I'm going gloss black, pics to come as soon as they're out of the powdercoater.

[BlizzardX23]

I dont get it...your breaks are fine...they still have 1/4 of pad left over...

[Max]

Except for the 3/8" or so worn off the outside of the rotor.

Max, Since those rims have the TPMS does that stay on or do you take it off? How much can you usually get a set of 20's for?

[Max]

The tpms are just valve stems that go into any wheel. Patience will allow you to pick up a set for around $500-$800, I lifted that customer's truck and he gave them to me for a very, very good price.

[ROBERTOcritser]

I wouldve never guessed those were painted silvy wheels. They look awesome painted black like that. They should start paintin wheels black from the factory.

I picked up a set of 20" Silverado SS Alloy wheels for $200 for the set ;)

Deal of the century

[goozdenali]

[Max]

I can't wait to curb them while drifting like a jackass.

Amen!:rocking:

[HitandRunDriver]

Sounds pretty baller, when does that blower go in?

[Max]

Hopefully springtime along with a trans buildup. Customer of mine is gonna show me how to rebuild the 4L65E so all the labor is free and I just have to drop dime on billet shafts, shift kit, converter, and a mag hytec pan. I'm getting a t/a rear diff brace for good measure as well.
