Has an old school look to it, back in the day when 15" wheels were big!

Was relatively easy, I got lucky and there was enough of the bolt left to use Visegrips to remove it. On top of that, my truck's spent 12 of of its 13 years in Fresno, CA and hasn't seen much rain or water on the road really, so no rust whatsoever. The entire job took me 2 hours tops with a smoke break.

Thanks!
Soon as I removed the bumper and could see how ****** up it was, I’ve come to the conclusion that a new one is warranted. Not even worth the time to spray it black. It’s junk.

Good thing the price difference was negligible. Stayed away from them because their idler arm bracket was faulty after 3K.

I had one blow out about a year and a half ago on my 04. I had a worm clamp that I did a quick repair with and threw a gallon of water from Walmart in it. Luckily I was just around the corner from the ol Wally World.
Once I did that I drove it over to the closet advance auto and got a Dorman connector. That connector blew out about two or three months ago. Luckily again I had the worm clamp and I was literally right next to a park.
This time I just hooked the hose straight to the heater core line with the hose clamp and filled it back up with water with a few trips to the park water fountain lol.

I finally got rid of my onstar and useless cassette player for more extra space. I found the cassette cubby in a 97 Silverado and the onstar cubby in a 03 Tahoe. They were both installed with no mods.

Mine are 17x9 also. I had to buy the steel rims to get the offset and back space that I wanted they disnt make them in aluminum which sucks. I put a set of general grabber 35s on mine that we use on the pro 2 race truck. Custom groove and they always have people confused when they see them lol we groove them ourself so people always say" I have never seen those kind of tires before" then I have to explain why. I have torsion keys on the front of mine that picked it up a few inches but it's a weird thing because the ones I got came with new bolts and they are shorter by about three quarters of an inch which I wonder if that's so you can't use your stock ones and overcrank them to where everything binds up. I'm sure that's got to be the reason for the shorter bolts. But I had them feeling real nice with minimal trimming. It had been trimmed previously because it used to be lowered on 24s a long time ago so I trimmed it then and also I cut the bottom half of the bumper off of it so that helped. I noticed after taking the rear stock shocks off of it that it was starting to Sag pretty bad in the rear because the stock shocks hold up a bunch of the weight on these things. So I got a set of inch and a half rear coil spring spacers and put them in and it picked back up about an inch but now the front end is rubbing like a mofo again. So I had to pull the inner fender well back get my die grinder up in there and cut part of the front fender at the very back bottom off roll it in and then start chopping away at the firewall and cutting sections out. Now I have it to where it clears all the way butt when you turn the wheel it hits the damn body mount on the frame. So there's not much I can do about that other than try and move the body Mountain that's just too much work. So a my case a body lift wouldn't even help. I was thinking for a while. Just throwing a really small 2 inch body lift on it but I didn't because I really do not like them at all. So once these tires were down I'm going to go back to 33s. Plus I've lost a lot of power with the 35.
