Nothing new. Went for a drive almost to TN and back today to clear my head. Found some epic roads, wished I was in one of my mustangs. Found a pretty cool spot and took some pics

Coming back to TN for an interview tomorrow 
epper:
Anyways, had jury duty today but didn't get picked so got home around lunch time and did some small things. CM'd the shark fin and redid the grille emblem with actual paint this time instead of plasti. Was gonna paint the bed rails and tailgate spoiler semi gloss black bit couldn't get them off easily so said fuck it and just VRT'd them.
Also rotated my tires, and Greg must've been nearby cuz I broke 2 studs on my right front spacer :flamethrower: So now I'm back to skinny status. Had to take off my helper bag mounts to clear in the rear. Gonna rock it like this probably through the winter (if I can stand it). Depending on job situation, I'd like to get wheels. Was gonna do AMPs but would rather have 20x10s and not have spacers

Yeah I know. Gonna press the broken ones out and see how the aluminum looks. I don't think these were actually splined cuz there's been a couple times when torquing them that they'd spin too much and then finally catch. So I think they just drilled holes and pressed in the studs to cut the splines. If the splines looks shitty I'm just gonna throw them out and either buy wheels or BORA spacers

These aren't bora tho and I don't trust the rest of them now. They've been on there a year and a half with a couple times of tire shops running the lugs down with an impact. So I'm leary to say the least

True. We'll see what they look like. Think ARP studs would be worth the cost or nah?

i broke 2 studs on mine, and if the hole looks a little boogered up they make the splined part in different diameters, just go up a little in diameter and your fine.
Was looking at wheels real hard the last couple days cuz I hate the way my truck sits now with the wheels tucked up in the fenders and I'd really like to not use spacers if possible. May still replace all my studs and use them with the new wheels if I decide I want more stance, but for now gonna try with no spacers.
Anyways, decided to wait on ordering wheels, we're supposed to get our bonus sometime next week plus if I order them now they'll just get caught up in all the holiday delays. Sooo...it'll happen soon, just gotta decide which ones. I love both the Methods and the Moto 976s. I'm leaning toward the Methods since they're cleared, I feel like they'd hold up better and I'm just leery of aftermarket chrome. Anybody have experience with Moto's or anybody else's PVD finish? I also kinda like the contrast of the machined Methods against the white.
Opinions? The Moto's are about $300 more. Thinking about running spiked lugs too
Methods on a white truck for reference, and of course I love them on Matt's truck
And the Moto's against a white truck

I originally fell in love with those the first time I saw em, but I feel like they look better against a dark truck. It's almost just too much bright with all the white, ya know? I really do like them equally, and there's only one truck around here with the Motos. Never seen Method's in person. Leaning toward the methods for durability and price point mainly.
Completely agree on Methods look best against darker colors. Methods would be great for upkeep and durability. I might be the only one here, but those Motos look like pure shit to me.
