Brother called me and asked nicely if I could help he and his wife out by picking up some stuff from IKEA for my Nieces bedroom. For my adorable 7 year old niece I'd do it in a heartbeat. They threw in a gift card to a BBQ place and also Cold Stone Ice Cream, so that sealed the deal right there.

I forgot to brag on the "Old Pig" just turned over 100,000 miles!!! It was back about 3 months ago now!!!! Not to bad for owning it for 54 months, about 1800 miles a month average but the one that got me was miles per hour average was up about 35 or so. I don't do much slow speed driving or idleing. :jester:

I average 37, which is pretty high for the paved cowpaths of MA I guess. Not alot of highway driving at all anymore.

I think mine is high 20's, maybe low 30's. I tend to idle a lot making phone calls, doing paperwork, jump starting trucks, etc.

Last oil change was at 237,150 in mid March and she just rolled into 240,000 last week!

 

And now the windshield wiper fluid isn't working so I'll have to figure that out. This is an annoyance but I'll take it any day over serious problems.

Need everyone's opinion, even if they are negative lol. So I'm looking at either aftermarket replicas or aftermarket with a little more offset than stock. Im stuck between 3 wheels. As you'll see, I don't like anything too busy, just something simple and clean. Here are my choices

 

Sierra All Terrain replicas; I would stick with a 20" wheel and just use my current tires. This is one of two cheaper options

Dick Cepek DC-2; can't find a pic of them on a k2 truck, but if I went with these I would most likely go to an 18" wheel and have to purchase new tires, etc etc. This would be my most costly option but with a -13mm I think it would set the truck apart, besides the fact that a good bit of jeeps have them from what I see lol

And last but not least would be Dick Cepek Gunmetal 7's. If I went with these I think they actually look good in my factory 20" and I could reuse my current tires. These have a good offset at +13mm, so it wouldn't stick the tire out past the fender, but close to flush I believe. I have really grown towards them and I can get them to my door for under $900, a tad more than the Sierra reps, by maybe $80 or so

In my mind, comparing cost and looks, I think the Gunmetal 7's take the cake. On a black truck I think they look good. I also have always loved the Sierra All Terrain wheels, and those I wouldn't have to worry about any rubbing (don't think the Gunmetal 7 wheels would rub, but the DC-2 wheels with a 33" tire and a -13mm offset may rub on a 2" level). Anyways, y'all shoot your opinions my way!!
