New wheels and tires

[H2BRUTE]

Well fender flares got added then I bought the Bully twin exhaust extensions and hiked up to my Meineke guy and he installed them for me..Makes me wish I had a supercharger..Maybe next year..Fender flares look good, but it was getting too dark for me to take a pic. WIll do tomorrow and post..Also here's a pic of 3 less H2 emblems on front..Good advice on removing some of them..Thanks DA BRUTE

Whoops, forgot the picture of the front.

I like Bling and yours is especially sharp .regards The Rebel

Thanks Rebel..Appreciate the comments. Finally got time to take the pics of the "Street Scene" Wide Fender Flares. Gives you pretty good coverage for the wider tire and they appear unobtrusive..Da BRUTE is getting there..Definitely have to get a louder horn..The dinky horn just doesn't get people to react, especially living in S Florida with all the super seniors who just can't hear...Maybe I can wake em up a bit. But I'd better be careful, don't want to cause any unnecessary heart problems..

Well, since I must have messed up the first time with the insert, here it is again, I hope..You can look back at the previous pics to see the difference..

What is the white strip on the tires signify?

After new tires and wheels were installed, I had to get it aligned and those were the chalk marks from alignment..As soon as we get some rain in sunny South Florida, I'm sure the chalk will disappear.

How does it drive after adjusting the torsion keys. I am looking to do the same setup as you (13.5 tires) but a local shop says it handles like crap after you adjust them... Any truth to this?

Nice looking Rig...... you definately did a nice job picking that tire/wheel combo. I like a little bling as long as you still maintain the rugged look. Very nice

Hey, I'm surprised to see this post pop up again...Originally I posted it in May 07..Since then Brembo Brakes, Magnacharger, Volant air intake, Corvette servos, QTP exhaust cutouts..It hauls a__..As far as the ride goes, it still rides like a 747 in first class. However, when you kick in the S/C at slow speed the front end feels like it lifts off the ground. It doesn't, but it gets really squirrely and feels like it is all over the place. I recently drove it 250 miles to get some air brushing on it. I pick it up Tuesday, the 25th. I chose 2 color mixes of Harlequin color shifting paint..Now don't go crazy on me guys..As you know, BRUTE does the car show circuit, so I decided it needed a little more oomph..Last two car shows, I won best of show, trucks and a first place, truck..It's been two weeks in the shop getting painted, so I am getting really anxious to see it done. It will have 6 clearcoats on it. If it is nice I will post pics, if it sucks, then I take a really lot of heat. But I am optimistic..The artist is awesome..BRUTE

[QUOTE..incl the 3" torsion key adjustment.][/quote]

So did you install a Truxxx level / lift?

[H2BRUTE]

Nope, just the 3" torsion key adjustment..No problems since installation almost a year ago.
