SeabeesTitan 03-26-2005, 01:35 PM Here are some pictures of some wheels that I got for my baby. They are 17X8.5 Weld Slingblades w/ 33/12.50R17 SXT Mudd Terrains. I sipped the tires down 9/32 to give better traction, braking, wear, & help quiet the ride a little. I have yet to use these new ones off road; I would like to wait for my favorite moutain to loose its snow lock. drmstlr66 03-26-2005, 01:41 PM I like the way those look, the wheels are just the right size to make the 33's look nice and rugged. Good job. Can't wait to see more pics. Kopperking 03-26-2005, 02:30 PM Man, I'd be Weary about Cleaning those! Might get a Finger Cut off!! LDOTITAN 03-26-2005, 02:31 PM I like that combination. Very nice. Any thoughts of leveling?? SeabeesTitan 03-26-2005, 02:52 PM Yeah I thought of leveling her but I am quietly waiting for a 4" lift so that I can put on some 20's w/ some larger Toyo Mudd terrain tires. I think I might still be able to use my garage still if I do that. TitanHauler 03-26-2005, 09:20 PM Very nice! I would have never thought of those wheels for a Titan but they look awesome! Good job and very original! M4ck 03-26-2005, 11:48 PM Nice man I just can't wait to get new wheels and beefier tires. I am getting so jelous of all you guys. M4ck SeabeesTitan 03-27-2005, 04:56 AM Here are the other shots, >must remember: RETORQUE RETORQUE RETORQUE< I have seen what happens when you don't. Mills 03-27-2005, 05:13 AM Great choice for the wheels. Do you offroad often? Your truck does not show it....real nice.... SeabeesTitan 03-27-2005, 03:17 PM Yes, I do go off road a ton with my other runner, but not as much with my Titan (yet). I just got her some new shoes to go play with just waiting for my wife to be off of call so that I can take her to the sacred digging grounds. I have 5 places that are hella good for off roading mudd style, 10+ for just simple climbing, 4ish for testing your ability to navagate through the desert, & 2 that will get you stuck if you stop at any point of the drive but is alot of fun to run through (about 600 yds +/-). I have learned the hard way with my previous trucks to clean immediately after serious mudding if you want your truck not to look ruff. I like to use 1 pot of boiling water w/ 2 gal of hot water in 5 gal bucket mixed with 3ish ounces rainex high foaming soap. Rinse immediately and I have started using the california blade to squeegie it dry fast as I go. I do suggest getting the short one its easier to use around the fixtures. I am waiting for my TOP OF THE LINE wax system to arrive to wax it again. Mills 03-27-2005, 09:14 PM Is that boiling water hard on the hands or do you feed it thru a sprayer? TitanGuyCNY 03-28-2005, 03:19 AM Wouldn'ta thought I'd like those rims on a Titan but after seeing it they look great. Especially with your silver body color. SeabeesTitan 03-28-2005, 03:03 PM Mills Posted: Sun Mar 27, 2005 7:14 pm Is that boiling water hard on the hands or do you feed it thru a sprayer? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I use a lazy C brush to wash the larger areas and then a sponge with the mesh on it for the tighter areas (plain sponge for the grill and rear view mirror chrome). As for the hand burning issue I guess it does burn some but I think that the boiling water mixing with the plain hot water cools it enough for me at least. Really helps with road tar and bug issues so you don't have to scRUB hard. kytitan 03-28-2005, 06:45 PM Looks great, nice combo. :D overdose 03-28-2005, 08:22 PM :thumbsup: PowerT 03-28-2005, 08:59 PM Those are some cool wheels. 8) SeabeesTitan 03-29-2005, 12:44 AM Thanks :D | ||
