New wheel color... I think this will look pretty decent once I get everything else done.

Paint? I never get sick of these wheels. They always look like you're going mach 2.

Yes, @HiHoeSilver, it is paint. Had this wheel paint on some beater wheels and it did really well for holding up.

And screw that tire wrap nonsense, I got wheel wrap. Lmao...

It's so slow.

And here we are, a month later. I have 4 wheels painted....

Might get the flares painted at some point. Gotta fix the rear door flare first. The mounting piece broke off the inside of the flare so now i need some two part epoxy that holds really well.

Found them online for 300 shipped I think. Cheaper than anything else I could find.

you may have already said this in a different post but I assume you'll be running a wider wheel to go with the flares?

@07Burb The wheels will be pushed out to the edge of the flares so they sit close to flush yet still tuck (up front) or when the suspension is traveling.

Oh man, I can't wait to see the finished product.... that's gonna be so sick!

Right... so making room and clearance along with test fitting and ordering things ws today's goal.

Wife's out to get some truck bed liner, expanding foam and cut off wheels for tomorrow.

Tonight is heating up the flare and widening it a bit up front and putting on the other two wheels.

Then I need to stay working on the side skirts.

Once the glue comes in, I'll fix the door mounted flare.

In about a month, the stance should leave this low and wide....

Then, when the weather gets nice, I'll pull the flares and skirts and paint them. By then I may have more done on the bumper.

Looking great, killer stance with the flares

Always loved the flares on the nbs tahoes [emoji106]

Making some progress...

Had to put these back together since the glue gave out.

Next is to heat up and flatten the bottom section so I can close the door with the side skirts mounted. Also need to do a smidge more trimming on the front of the side skirt so it fits over the new flare....

Just be glad you have a garage that you can work on it in. All I have is my driveway and that sucks this time of year. The poor Beast is sitting there waiting to be fixed and it will be months. I envy you lol.

@Rocket Man Lmao... you're right, all a matter of perspective.

And almost there! Can't wait till the rear tires match the flares...

Also started fixing the skirt. Made it about half way, then the family came home.

I feel your pain, man. I'm in the same boat and then if it's the dually I'm working on that's mostly in my driveway cuz she's too big for my garage

Yyyyyup.... was visiting my mom and dad in Kentucky and discovered a fuel leak in our van along the way. Dad and I determined it was coming from the fuel line on top of the gas tank, so we pulled the van into his garage to do the repair. Sucky thing is, it was 10 degrees outside and about 35 in the garage. Dad had the bright idea to put a heater in the garage.... except it was a propane heater, so yeah... had to nix that idea and work in the cold ass garage.

I mean, at least you figured that out before you an explosive reality hit you @ArcticYukon
