I took a few pics at a Barn in Brighton yesterday, just off Bromley Lane by the Water Park Slide. I am going back and doing my family picture there this Summer.

My wife brought home some 15 x 10 Slots that I found in Utah. Really excited to have them here in Colorado, but not looking forward to polishing them up. I have read a few threads on CB.com and help from Casadejohnson so I am hoping it goes OK. I bought a polishing set, compounds, and the Fitz Polish that Zilla recommended in a thread on CB.com.

You and Mike should get together and start a 2nd hand wheel store.

I would be the first customer........I'll take a set of four 15x10 slots please.

From what I have read, it will be a few hours per wheel. Casa said he went thru multiple air tools on his.

I will keep watching Utah classifieds for more, but I have just the 9 wheels. I was thinking 5 on Bronco and 3 on a trailer with 1 extra. Not doing the trailer so I have 4 left.

Justin - good eye Safety Inspector. the rear seat will sit a few inches forward and higher when mounted. Mounting the rear seat is a 2 person job and wife was in Utah. I will make sure it doesn't hit someone in the face - that would be horrible.

Got the Smittybilt Winch and Pro Comp LED Offroad Lights Installed yesterday. Need to get a relay and hookup the light bar to see how bright it is but it weighs a ton, real nice build quality. Winch cover from CSI worked perfectly, and for $13.50 on Amazon.com is a sweet deal.

I am trying to get my wheel and tire situation resolved. Getting rims from a guy tomorrow morning and tires from a guy on Sunday, then hopefully B.O.B. can get them mounted next week.

Well . . . I did it . . . cut the rear quarters and could not be happier. I liked the way it looked, but I really love it now. I replaced the 33" Tires with 8" Rims with 35" BFG KM2's with 10" rims. I really like how it sits and rides. Big thanks to JGZ and Bronco Hut for the Fiberglass Flairs. I used a cut-off wheel and made quick work of it, but the first cut was hard to make in the painted sheetmetal. I am relieved it turned-out. My wife (did NOT want me to cut it) even likes it. I have the cut-outs from the rear, but not likely changing it back. Ever. icon biggin

It was fun to get it finished last night and show it off at the Nascar Breakfast With Broncos this morning.

Chad, that does really look better this way.

I liked it before but it really knocks it out of the park now !

What Rox said. I love uncut trucks, but the cut fenders suit your stance a whole bunch better.

Chad it looks killer now. Not that it didn't before but that makes it complete.
So with 35's how do you get it in the garage, let all the air out? Or you leave the top down?

It definitely looks like a completed package now. Be careful with the garage door height when the top is on.

You guys are right - no BesTop at this house. The center bow is too tall. I guess I will have to go topless or get off my butt and make the Bikini Top. Thanks for the compliments - it means a lot from you guys.

Chad - I agree with others. As much as I hate to see a clean stock quarters cut, the cut fenders fit your look a little better.

Cracker - you got the crawler. Keep the 73 stock!
