I felt like taking some pictures

I got a Cannon sd1000 for my birthday back in July and have pretty much had it sitting on my desk ever since. I left my truck outside last night for the first time in forever thinking, “Oh, the weatherman is always right” and “Oregon’s weather never changes”. To my surprise it rained last night!!! Anyways, the paint looked cool and freshly waxed so I went to the parking structure at my work and snapped a few pics. I know I need a tripod (taking pictures with slow shutter speeds and no flash are almost impossible not to make it like a blue and chrome blob)

Here come the pictures.











Comments and tips welcome.

Nice looking shots, really like the rear suspension shot, looks like you could go with a wider rim on the back, forgot how big those wheel wells are.

Very nice, 3rd shot I would have taken past the bed/cab starting at the bed, like first shot so the seperation between them would not have been so obivious, but great pics, thanks for sharing.

The wheels are Centerline Stingray III's. 20x8 5''offset in front and 20x9 5.5'' offset in the rear. the tires are 255/45/20 and 285/45/20 respectively.

Drop 3'' spindles and a shackle or flip kit will be going on in the spring when i rebuild the front end with poly.

The thing that amazes me the most about this truck is that it can still lock all 4 wheels up with these rollers. forged wheels FTW

And not in a parking garage. Nice shots! Interesting angles. Good cropping. Color looks right on.
