I really like the look of the steel 80 series rims from non US countries. I dunno where you get those though.

I was thinking these would be on track.

WOW

Honestly, I'd lose half the stuff I took out of the rig and never get it all back together without missing things like seats and windows...

Looks like a white fleet cargo van!

Forget the white these wheels look better under black! Actually as crazy as it sounds this one looks (in a wierd way) pretty cool.

Decided on the Hutchinson Beadlock rims instead of the teddy bears. It was a tough call though. Also decided to try the Toyo Open Country MT in a 35x12.5x17.

What kind of money for the Hutchinson? The centerline bead lock, with 2 piece take apart capability with DOT approval is close to 800/piece. I do like the rim a lat and the bolts that hold it together is further inboard to protect the bolts. I will try to find a pic. But the teddy bear one is real cute.

Well I tried to copy the pic to post and it would not do it. but here is the link to the web site with the rim I would like to some day own.

The hex head bolts are protected really well, totally forged wheel that is also DOT approved. Enjoy the views. later Robbie

Side marker lights are in and the side turn signal mod is complete.

35" maximum tire diameter?

Auto up mod completed as well as adding another factory light to the doors. I wonder if the window switch needed cleaning.

Looking good Mike!

 

[Uncle Ben]

Very cool Mike! I have grown very accustomed to the power up mod and while I had been skeptical is it was necessary I now embrace it fully! Going to the drive up at a bank or fast food window is a no brainier!

 

[treerootCO]

Is there a way to turn the dome lights on with the doors closed on an 80? Other than the switch on the ones overhead...

Switch on the dome light is all.

 

[wesintl]

where is the link for the auto up mod? or what do you have to do to the switch in that photo?

Nice job...
