The Rig Got her some new shoes 20" on Mud Grapplers and almost blacked out...

[RippSpeed]

Yeah I got a great deal on these wheels and tires...
Thanx to Twenty2 for the inspiration...

p.s. The Nitto Mud Grapplers are not that loud... I was scared from all the reviews about it being really loud but me and my wife actually like how the Rig sound with them... @ $300 a piece, I think I'm going to get another set after I burn thru these...

Heres hows a couple of pics before...

[tarheel34]

Looks Great! How did you go about painting the chrome on the side markers?

its 3m flat black wheel paint ( your basic rattle can paint job) ... I did the center caps the same way and they actually match the flat black paint of the rims...

I did one coat and then let them sit for 15mins in the sun and then hair dryer them and then added another coat ... did the same thing over until I had 3 coats on them...

I painted my tundra oem wheels the same way and they never chipped once I was done and they can be washed with out ever worrying about them wearing the paint...

put in 1200 miles, still liveable... I drove it from Long Beach to Oxnard to Corona and it was very liveable... Not as loud as people suggested

[RippSpeed]

Update ...

I got the limited Side Steps on and Installed the Boulder Accessories ( AmStar) Roof Rack.

Wow!! Changing out those side steps made a big difference. Your truck looks great!!

[Intercooled]

I'm curiose how those side steps fit with out having the LE cut-outs on the lower molding? Looks great!

it was alittle hard ... I had to losen all the bolts on the rock rails and then slip the limited steps in and then re-tighten everything... I kinda like them with out the cutouts... Looks better since my molding isnt painted..

[jmsspratlin]

I love the look. You have def let it apart from most H2's. Great Job!

I didnt realize that would fit with out the cut outs, Looks great. Is there enough foot room on the step with out the cut-out?

definitely have enough room... I was using them to step on when I was installing the roof rack...

The truck looks great!!!! I like the LE steps you put on too. I was wondering if they would fit without the cutouts...thanks for clearing that one up!!!!

Get some more pics up when you can!! :perfect10s:

[Bimmer9938]

Looks soo mean without the dumbo bars. :perfect10s:

[RippSpeed]

Thanx for all the comments guys... I hope to have more mods soon...

[Smokin Joe]

hey rippspeed, where did you get the limited Side Steps?

[RippSpeed]

hey rippspeed, where did you get the limited Side Steps?
I bought them in ebay off autostrata
http://motors.shop.ebay.com/merchant/autostrata

[Bimmer9938]

Do you find the steps useful without the LE rockers? I have a set and can't make up my mind if I wanna sell em or install them. :giggling:

never needed the steps but my wife and kids find them very usefull

[Bimmer9938]

I noticed your front steps arn't in the position to match up with the LE rockers if they were installed, did you play around and fiind them to be more usefull in this spot instead? Also, did you cut down your center caps? I notice they don't hang out at all!

[RippSpeed]

my center caps came like that ... All I did was paint them

Yes I found the step in that position much easier and at a perfect spot to help you enter the hummer...

Dammm RIPP! Your rig has changed alot! Im liking it.... how were your tires in the snow? I always loved the mudd tires, but didnt know how they would perform in the snow.

they hold rock solid... Never really slipped in the snow. Even when the road had about a foot of fresh snow. Even packed snow no issues...

[Bimmer9938]

I thought these tires might be a "gimmick" or "fad" with the claws and all, but I gotta say...I love them!

[H2 Doberman]

Hey RippSpeed,

What is the backspacing on your wheels. Looks killer!:perfect10s:

Did you rattle can the brush gaurd too? If so, was it the 3m paint?
