Duuuuuuuude! The attention to detail and the consistent theme throughout the build is amazing.

Very well built.

Great job, Jeff

Rims look nice. Similar to the ones my son just put on his Ranger pre-run truck and the ones I have on my Toyota pre-runner too.

But I don't recommend the wheel adapters needed to put those wheels on a Baja Bug. Might be OK for street. Definitely NOT for real offroading.

Thanks for all the positive feedback guys !
Front and rear rotors are drilled for Ford pattern so no wheel adapters here............
And those wheels are now discontinued from Black Rock Wheel.

Can a video be posted here? and how ?

If it's uploaded to YouTube or Vimeo I know it will work.

(the little tags upper right)

Just copy your YouTube link and click the YouTube button top right. It will drop it all in for you with the tags.

Or paste the YouTube address, and highlight it with your mouse (it will turn blue) then click the YouTube button top right.

Either method will format it for you with the proper tags.
