LoJac963's Deuce Build

[LoJac963]

Well finally took the plunge and ordered new wheels because my stocker tires are dry rotted. Plenty of tread life but cracked to hell.

I went with Method Standard wheels in black with Kumho Road Venture MT's. The wheels are 17x9 with a 4.25" backspace. I wanted the wheels pushed out to look better with my flares. The stock wheels looked horrible sunken in with the extended flares.

Pics:



Tires are the same size but the new ones were over 2" taller for some odd reason:









Nice wide stance!





I was incredibly worried about the backspace not working but at 4.25" the tires are perfectly in line with the edge of the flares. The wide stance with the MT's gives the rig a completely different look. The pics don't do the Method wheels justice, they are hands down awesome in person!

Latest update.

Received a pair of Truck Lite LED headlights from a new member on a different forum, one hell of a guy in my book! The lights are military lights in 24 volt configuration. I had to add in 12-24 volt converters which aren't expensive at all so I figured why not. Lights are nice and bright. I only have the lows wired in right now as wiring in the highs will require 2 more converters. So down the road I'll get those going, I rarely use my highs and I didn't want to hold up the install. My HID's were giving me so many problems, so happy those things are gone!!

Onto the pics:

The install, you can see the converter is the aluminum box with the fins:

Lows:







I've read they are not as bright as HID's which I wouldn't imagine they would be. I can't wait to go for a night drive with them. I'm just so happy the HID's are gone!!

Dannngggggg! Thats awesome man. Im a huge LED guy in general and was just wondering the other day how they would look on our headlights. Grab some night time shots from inside the vehicle so we can see the projection!

I'll try and grab some pics. They're not as bright as I had hoped but I think they are aimed far too high. They shined a driver of a brand new Durango right in the face and those sit high up. I'll post pics when I can!

what was the issues with the HID lighting?
