Wheels came in on Friday. Just received my 5 Treadwright Guard Dogs with Goodyear MTR/K casings about an hour ago, and the OME parts will be delivered this afternoon.

I have a tentative appointment for Thursday at Adrenaline Offroad to get everything installed. Keeping my fingers crossed that things don't fall through.

How to Plasti Dip a car Emblem **HI OT** - YouTube

I used Plasti-Dip. Took 30 minutes total for all the emblems, including the Trail Rated badge. It is fairly easy to remove the Plasti-Dip from the emblems if you don't like how it looks. This video does a good job of explaining exactly how to do it. Nothin' to it.

You really don't even need to tape it up as much as this guy did. Just mask off a nice square around your emblem and cover the entire area. The Plasti-Dip peels right off of your paint and sticks to the emblem.

It's night and day. Definitely pleased with the way it turned out. Had to knock down the pinch weld and do a decent bit of trimming in the wheel well, but the tires don't rub except at full lock in reverse and even then it's minor.

I love it. Rides like a Caddy now. No issues with balancing the Treadwrights either so I am absolutely a happy camper. Can't wait to get out on some trails!

Thanks man, I really appreciate it. All told, it was right around 2.5k for the lift parts, 5 tires, 5 wheels, labor, and alignment.

I just finished up trimming the front bumper. No rub whatsoever now, even at full lock in reverse.
