Hey Chris I was just thinking of something that would really look cool on this truck....... back from my "younger" days. Remember those "old school" Slots ? Seems like I remember a set selling either on here or on Scale4x4rc within the last week or two because I'm kind of looking for a set myself and I was too late on them. I think those would look AMAZING on this truck as well and they'd be kinda "resto rod"/"old school off-road" correct since they were available and used ALOT in the 1960's, 70's and the 80's on tons of the older off-road trucks. I like the beadlocks that you put on it too.....but I think that some good ol' slots would be killer on that truck. Aron Last edited by BiG_DaWgZ; 05-28-2009 at 08:04 AM. |

the Landies would be perfect for this rig, it even has the correct 5 lug pattern! I have an idea about the fender wells. Try painting the inner part of the fender wells flat black, I think it would make the white outer stand out a bit better. The body colored inner fender wells make it looks like the body goes down past the frame. I hope that makes sense, it's hard to make my fingers type the thoughts correctly. |

Honestly Dude- I was already thinking the same thing.. but before i actually do it, I'm just trying to visualize how it will look, because once its done, its DONE, and I can't go back.. I will dig around and find some pics of real 1:1 Willys trucks, and come up with something.. | ||

LOL- Chip actually HAD that EXACT set of rims already on this truck, and to be honest, they didn't really impress me all that much ( along with seemingly EVERYONE else that commented on these pics... ) Here it is below.. |

Yeah, I agree - those DO look like cool wheels. But I can visualize what they'd look like on the truck, and I don't think they'd "make" the truck.. Might sound weird to some, but IMO - RIMS "Make or Break" a vehicle.. You could have the Baddest, Sickest scaler on the planet, and if you throw on a set of "blah" wheels on it, it just dosen't look right, And on the opposite side of the coin, you could have a beat-up junker, piece of crap, and put a SICK set of wheels on it, and that ride just became totally BAD-ASS..!!! I have quite the collection of wheels and tires to try out, and so far, I honestly like the looks of the Truescale rims the best.. ( SO far that is.. )

Man, this rig is amazing. The rims are a little new aged for it, but they make it look like it's ready to tackle the rocks. I like it the way it is. But I can't wait to see what you do with it.

If you can get me some good straight on pics of different rims you like I can photoshop them on to the truck. Then you will know about what they look like on it. ;)

The body on your truck is so nice it seems to look good with almost any set of wheels. |
