Alright guys I wanna see pics of

everyones truck! Post em up boys! I’ll start...

Here’s the truck I almost bought before my truck. 91 12 valve 5 speed with 236k on the clock. 

Ok guys I had a tire that kept going low so I sprayed it with soapy water Nd found out the rim had a crack in it! I found this set of 07 Dodge OEM wheels and tires with 20% tread for 300$ on local Craigslist. I love the looks of these! Sorry the truck is dirty so not a great picture. Now @Mopar1973Man these are 265/70/17 tires. They look great and are lighter than the old setup!

This is why I went to the steel wheels. I lost my factory 16's to the same issue. Then got a set of aftermarket wheels but the offset was wrong and slung road dirt and salt on the side windows all the time creating a safety issue of visibility. When a friend had a set of 2nd Gen wheels 16x7 that was perfect for my 235's. I might have lost some advantage with the steel wheels but the aluminum issue of cracking is way more common than you think.

I had never heard of a rim cracking. Apparently it’s from towing and possibly striking a curb. I’m very happy with the 3rd gens so far. Haven’t been in the mud yet but we’ll see how that goes.

I had 2 sets of the factory rims and after the 5th rim cracked I had to ditch them. A couple of cracked into the barrel of the rim and did not leak.

I'll reply with a picture. If you are growing a garden on your vehicle you need to go buy a 3,000 PSI power washer and get the mud and salt off your vehicle. 

Wish I would have owned my truck from brand new, it would never happen. But unfortunately I bought it used and that's the result.
