After this lil problem i decided to change.

This is after I change to 3/4 ton axles , wheels, and tires.

The other side.

Its still a work in progress but this is how it currently sits.

     Nice looking k5, are you going to paint it white ?  How did your wheel and tire fall off, off road or just driving around ?

#2: There is no such thing as impossible, it just takes longer.

Probably go red but may go two tone red/graphite or red/black. The wheel and tire thing hmm... well i was on pavement headed to work and heard a loud pop when i turned a corner, so i pulled over to look the truck over and didn't notice anything abnormal (of course i didnt check all the lug nuts i glanced and notice the four i saw were still there). So hopped in and back on the road. Then another pop i wasnt in a good spot to pull over. everything went down hill quick after that and i knew it was going to be bad so i slowed way down. as i started to pull off the road it broke off. Luckily it went up a bank and stopped.
Long story sorry but we figured out that the pops were lug bolts breaking.

6inch suspension 3inch body. I don't like the body lift but it will work for now.
