More wheel swapping

We finally got around to swapping the wider aluminum rims on ole blue. My full size truck had a load of brush in the back so had to use the Nissan. We also swapped out the beat lug nuts for new hardened ones. Seeing as the new rims are drilled out for 5/8" lugs and the truck has 1/2" lugs we went with bulge lugs because of their wider contact profile. While the truck was in the air we also greased and cleaned everything that had a zurg fitting. Since aluminum rims are more prone than steel to coming loose we used plenty of lock-tight when installing the lug nuts.
