Love them too. Awhile back I found a set locally and I was gonna buy them but up close they were super pitted and corroded so I passed on them.
So I like how they look, just switch it up a little. But of course you just got that truck.

Idk I personally can’t keep the same wheels for more than a year :secret:

But just for giggles, what is your favorite wheel if you had to pick a set for free?!!:hmm:

Love me some 161s.

Sits in the garage on the best of days. Drives less than my truck. Hibernates for the winter. sheesh...that bish better be showroom pampered....:cool:

Work is bananas with the move. I'm running on fumes and just keeping my head down through the end. It is in sight.

The Lord has rewarded me this Christmas week with mid-high 40s and sunshine...White Christmas, blah, blah, blah....you can keep it. Lemme drive that Denali! Gonna get in some much needed road time. Stoked!

I’m with you in the White Christmas thing. It’s fine if it’s in my dreams, but I don’t need it on my driveway.

We definitely had snow on Christmas. Had to drive my Nali in it. Plowed through it and around all the flatlanders lol.
Sounds like a blast! Here in Iowa it was 55 degrees.

Quick question for a friend. How much did your front end drop due to snow build up. Rumor has it that 40lbs of California snow on the front bumper will drop the front damn near 2”!:rolleyes:

I have had suspicion of a coolant leak for a while. I know what @Sevenevez replaced, so I didn't ever chase it hard, as it was obviously minor, and she was getting put away for the winter. A couple of weeks ago, I had her just idling in the garage, and i noticed the drip on the ground, so I looked a little harder. Stupid T fitting dripping. Will address in the spring with what is hopefully a permanent solution/upgrade.


On the upside, we got lucky with 50* and sunny today, so I took her out for a little spin and gave her a wash. Obligatory pics...had to get the white one in there, too :D!
