New Truck W/ New Wheels And Tires! Need some Advice.

[H2 Doberman]

Well here is my 06 SUT that I picked up a few weeks ago. Had about 37,000 miles on it. Not too bad. Should I put a Matching spare on the truck or completely take the carrier off. I like the smooth look with the carrier off. I don't care about having a spare either. These are just some rough pics I took in the driveway. Doesn't really do the truck justice.












I took the chrome brush guard off and sprayed it with bedliner. Turned out pretty good not sure how durable it will be. I will post pics when I put it back on the truck. How hard are the door handles to remove?

DUMP the Spare!!!

I like having a meaty tire on the spare. I'd get a wheel and matching tire. I've got 37" Cooper STT on the factory wheels, but have all five tires on my SUT. Personally I think that looks a lot better than leaving the factory tire/wheel for the spare. I prefer the look of the SUT WITH the spare, rather than without.

What size tires and wheels are those? Looks fantastic! I may have to join the Rockstar club as well.

Thanks for the heads up!

I took the chrome brush guard off and painted it with some Rustoleum bed liner spray. It looks killer but not sure how durable it is going to be. I'll post pics up once I touch up a few spots that are bugging me. I took the chrome fuel door cover off and sprayed it satin black to match the wheels. Next on the list are the hood latches and handles. I have a set of chrome side steps if someone wants to trade for the quick release steps.

Do you still have your old steps Tim?

The door handles aren't hard to take off, they're just a pain because of what goes with them. The real pain is that there is a pin that has to be taken out to switch the handles once out of the truck. The pins are not replaceable.

If you have an issue and you're in NC, stop by one of my bodyshops, I'll swap them out for you.

As far as the spare, I pulled mine from the truck but kept the carrier just in case. I think if the spare matches the rest of the wheels, it looks great.

The only reason I pulled mine is because it's a PIA to have to swing the carrier out to open the tailgate.
