    My first suggestion would be to get a different truck LOL...... no seriously, if you buy anyhting, buy stainless and make sure you can swap it over easily, such as hub covers and such. Stay away from anything ABS plastic
     
    American-Trucker Thanks this.

    You serious?

    The lug nut covers will most likely be 33mm. Get the steel ones. Plastic will break just as soon as you put them on.

    You currently have hub covers on your drives. Take one off & measure the inside diameter of the cover. Chances are is that it is a 8".

    Steer hub caps.... Count how many lips you've got in there. It will most likely be 5.


    Now that truck will look like crap if you put all that chrome on without hitting the wheels, steps, tanks, & battery box with a high speed buffer.

    i liked the long plastic chrome plated nut covers...but they only last a year

    as for yer drive caps....hit em with a little polish dork....the rust spots will come right off

    steer caps, count yer tabs and buy one that wont hit any

    but it'll still be a company shaker.......no matter how much you put in to it

    I think you would do a lot better with elbow grease than you will with a few chrome trinkets.
