“Government cheese” how it started vs how it’s going

I also decided to cut off the cheese part, if I had made the sticker mirror the other where the cheese faced forward like it did on the drivers side then maybe, but all and all I am happy with the in general look. Definitely meaner looking with the wheels and flares

“Government cheese” how it started vs how it’s going

It took a little modification on the front flares, they have a little plastic that pushed them off the fender in the front and rear, honestly they are probably there so the flares can push off the fender further but that didn’t really work with how the back ones mounted, I zip wheeled them off...

“Government cheese” how it started vs how it’s going

So the drivers side is done, I had to slice of pieces of the front flare get the plastic snaps through. I think it was there to push the flare out further but the only other way that they are held on is 3m tape up top and that I felt like would cause an issue with them pulling. I have to do the...

The drums don’t really show through, so I’m not going to worry about it right this second. Going to finish getting these flares mounted and rims on and off the jack stands to see what this looks like

Rears are almost done, waiting to finish passenger rear and the tire shop is mounting the tires right now. Should I paint the rear drums?? They will show through the windows. And if so black or a contrast color? I know it can look kiddo ish but rust color doesn’t really work either

So the flares pretty much line up with the holes in the front fender, enough to throw 4 screws in it so it doesn’t keep falling in my head

So the flares came in, they say that they or OE style. I just stuck them up with a little tape and the stick a wheel on…. The 3.75 backspace brings the rims out a lot, I don’t think it’s too much but I need to get a the front end off the ground better and check the lock to lock.

This is what I ordered, no info on the page about dimensions but they looked similar to the ones on the silver truck so we will see, they still aren’t scheduled to arrive till Thursday though.

Came home to a nice surprise, weren’t supposed to be here till Wednesday. I guess I could pull a wheel and mock it up but still waiting on the flares. Guess I will set them in the basement next to the tires

So I have basically decided against the aluminum at this time this is the tailgate molding I saw last night. It first come al the way to the end on the truck pictured and kinda has a nice contour to it . Maybe with the flares I would like it?? I don’t know, I’m just waiting for the flares to...

“Government cheese” how it started vs how it’s going

I like that look and is definitely my budget friendly kind of stuff. I think I’ve nixed the idea of a spoiler for the rear unless it’s such a dramatic bend that if I sit on the tailgate my legs won’t hit it or get burned on raw aluminum “ I’m saying that word British style” Al u min e Um. I just...
