If you’re like most of us, getting a gift for someone isn’t easy, especially if it’s for your father & he’s “Old School.” One Father’s Day I wanted to get him something nice. I remember him talking about his truck to his friends, specifically about his wheels. So that’s when it hit me – WHEELS!

ProComp and 4Wheel Parts helped us put together our current Chevy Silverado 1500, which will tow our Airstream Trailer “command center” to such sites as the Everglades and Yellowstone for site and animal protection campaigns.
I did not go big on my 2004 2WD Toyota Tacoma Pre Runner. This truck came with 16” steel wheels and 265/7016, which were somewhat of an eyesore. Since my truck is black with front and rear chrome bumpers, my first and only choice was PXA8089 16×8 Pro Comp wheels on Pro Comp 265/75r16 XTreme Mud Terrain tires, along with a set of Gorilla spline lug nuts.
Top 10 20″ Chrome Aluminum Wheels Under $1400.00 for Ford F-150 4×4 & 2WD 2004-2010
When it comes down to choosing a 20″ wheel for your truck, price is always an issue. As we all know, the bigger you go the more you pay. Well it doesn’t always have to be that way.
I have made it easy for you and narrowed it down to these 10 wheels. All of these wheels will help you get the off-road look you are looking for without hurting the savings account. They’re easy to clean and the chrome finish on all these wheels is excellent. They all have the proper backspacing to accommodate larger tires and a suspension lift.
My name is Jay Barnett but my co-workers and friends call me Jeep Bastard Jay. I got that nickname from an old friend (it’s a long story), but I have stuck with it ever since. I have been with the company for a LONG time and currently help the DSI department. Well, enough about me. Here’s my Jeep story.
Back in 2007, Jeep released their new Wrangler called the JK and from the moment I saw it I knew everyone was going to see me on the trail with the newest and greatest Jeep vehicle. The only problem was that California didn’t have any of them, so before I could pack I was on a plane flying to Dallas, Texas to bring home my bright red Jeep. The good thing about working here and having one of the first JKs in California is testing the aftermarket parts for vendors.
I bought my 2008 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with the bare minimum because I knew in 6 months it would not look the same.
I started with the essentials: lift, wheels, and tires. For this I went with the pros at the 4 Wheel Parts in Santa Ana. We decided to tackle a 6″ Pro Comp Long Arm kit with Fox Reservoirs. I also installed Pro Comp 7005 series 17″ wheels and the Pro Comp 37″ Mud Terrains, which hold up great on trail rides and are smooth on the street.
For my first blog (ever) I figured I’d start with something simple and familiar. Here are the upgrades I’ve made to my 2005 Ford F-250 Super Duty:
The stock radius arm suspension has been replaced with an 8″ Full Traction four link system with 2.5″ coil-over shocks up front and Pro Comp MX-6 reservoir shocks in the rear.
