Steve, Only the wheels are "spares", not the tires. The tires are brand new Toyo Proxes ST's in P245/50R20. Are you perhaps thinking of the...
color scheme When I said the wheels may need to be body-color, that would be Copper (hence her name being Penny). Right now the (new from our...
Zig, The "mix-n-match" U-joint you worry about is no big deal. IIRC, the Colorado takes a 3R (I think I mentioned it in another post), and you...
and PLENTY of clearance between the tire sidewall and the bedside, and just as much between tire sidewall and fender lip. And to think I was all...
but I think... the wheels will need to be body-color. Too much black, and no crisp delineation between rim and tire. But I am LIKING the look!
more pictures! OK, so with Zig just going CRAZY with cutting, and now welding, I just couldn't let him have all the fun... So I did the math,...

ummmmm.... excuse me Zig, If I remember correctly, you have exactly 47 different brackets you need to cut off the Colorado rear end.... and you...
that whole pinion angle thing Zig, for your straight swap, with the same driveshaft etc, I would simply: 1a. set the OLD rear end up on...
Zig, it was nice to talk to you! I hope you march into the salvage yard armed with the knowledge to buy exactly what the old girl needs. As soon...
The Colorado rear I installed is drum brake.
REMEMBER Zig... The axle hub diameter of the Colorado/Canyon rear end is larger than the axle hub diameter of our trucks. Original wheels will...
Don't sell it LaTroca, Just walk away for awhile. If it isn't your DD, this shouldn't be an issue. If all you ever do is come home from work...
