New Shoes!

Post by slobgear »

I spent the weekend with my brother rebuilding breaks and putting my new wheels and tires on the truck. I think it looks MUCH improved. what kills me though, I bought the truck for $300 and I just stuck $700 underneath of it. Oh well, thats the price for some flash new feet.

I would, but they need to be rechromed. I dont want to sink that kind of money into them right now.
