Pics of some of my Goodies

[vitalidle]

Thought you all would like to see some pics! I had to buy new tires also, as the firestone steeltex tires that came with the truck absolutely sucked in the snow!! The isspro gauges turned out really nice! Very time consuming, but well worth it! Enjoy

looks nice. they look a littlw crooked but if you can see them then i guess theregood for you. looks like it went well hope you did it inside. its cold up there

[vitalidle]

You noticed that eh!!! Yeah that's my only complaint. The backers for the gauges don't fit well inside the piller, so thats the best I can get without removing the backers to hold the gauges tight Actually it was nice that day in the upper 20's he he. I did most of the work inside was a little bored at work and decided to finish it up their

you shouldn't have to have brackets on them they should fit snug in there. mind did. i just threw the brackets away

[vitalidle]

Hmmm okay I will give it a shot I was worried about them vibrating loose. I wonder if I can get it apart, and still use the same plastic plugs? If not Im sure I can get some! Thanks.

go to advance auto part and look in the help section if you break them. they should fit tight in there. its actually a pain to pull out once there in with out thet brackets cause it is a tight fit

Throw those retainers away! I had a hard time rotating mine after sliding them in, so I wouldn't worry about 'em vibrating out.

how do you like the new tires in the snow i have the steeltex ones too and they really suck

Hey vitalidle, electrical tap buddy, take them backers off the gauges, and if they are loose just run a wrap of electrical tape around the gauge, keep doing this until you get the tight fit you are looking for. kinda like shimming them you know what I mean.

The guy I bought the tires from is a good friend, and he said the steel tex tires are a great tire for high milage wear, but are terrible for off road and the snow! I love the tires they rock the best tire I have ever bought. I went with 285's. They do make a slight hum noise going down the highway but barely heard over the motor! I got them for $149 a piece. Thanks for the input on the guages! I will give it a shot!
