Well, Tuesday's install appointment was rescheduled to this morning, due to a completely unexpected 3" of snow that raced down out of Canada.

So, got the Nitto's installed and quickly raced back home to put her back in the garage, as were expected to receive a dangerous ice storm tonight.

For the short, 35min drive home, I was pleased with how they handled. Quiet. Responsive. Felt great.

Tech that did the install noted one of banded style TPMS sensors was loose (the entire band) so he tightened that back up for me.

Tech also was kind enough to paint the wheel weights gloss black in advance of the install. What fk'n outstanding service I must say.

Company that performed install is called S&D Wheel, based out of St. Charles, IL.

This was the vendor who exhibited right next to me at this past weekend's 2018 Chicago World of Wheels event. You can see their display of aftermarket wheels/tires directly behind my SHO.

Mr. Jeffrey Lorden was not only a pleasure to speak with, but also was very knowledgeable and volunteered to personally handle my install himself.

Outstanding attention to detail and couldn't have been happier. Extended me a great price to boot!

Their facility was/is HUGE! They are behind several brand name aftermarket wheels, LED light bars, and deal with most major tire brand mfg'ers. Please check out their site below for more info. Top notch all the way around!

I'll manage more pics hopefully on Sunday, when temps rise to the mid 50's. Happy weekend everyone.

I wouldn't doubt it.

Their facility is outstanding. I was given a generous tour of everything.

They did mention their primary market is based in/on/around trucks, but they enjoy a healthy sales in the car market as well.

It was amazing to hear how much volume they move on any given day/week.

They run 2 shifts, and their employees were all a buzz with activity. The meticulous attention to detail was/is impressive to say the least.

I discovered yet another reason why I am so blessed to have such great vendors in/around the general Chicago land area.

Gave her a quick bath.

But more importantly, removed all the old adhesive from the previously positioned wheel weights on each rim, and cleaned up the brand new Nitto NT555 G2's today......

Not too shabby. I'm dig'n these new Nitto's.

I noticed the SHO has been running stronger since getting rid of that plastic VP 5 Gallon White Utility Jug which ultimately builds-up moisture to the mix. 

I can probably add a cheap shower head to the filler hose and use it to water the garden.Lol.  Z

Decided to pull the trigger on a new pair of LED projector puddle lamps the other day.

These to replace my original set that I gutted open way back in 2010, and authored a "How-To" tutorial on how to retro the LED into the housing.

I couldn't resist these, as the projector portion casts the FORD oval/logo onto the ground below it. Looks really sharp.

The things that are being done in the lighting department never cease to amaze me. Cool stuff.

Installed them just now......
