Also oil filter adapter. Real easy to do from the top when everything is out of the way!
Taking them off is the easy part... wait til you go to put em back in, then the real fun begins, damn near impossible to get a torque wrench in there

You really should take the bottom bolts off first. That will result in less swear words. Also, put them back in first when putting it back together. That order will make your life much easier. Ask me how I know!

Yea, also it seems a lot of people paint them because they are rusty and look bad. Steel wheels that is.

I was able to get the torquer in there with a clever combination of extensions and u-joints, but not sure how accurate of a job it really was, lol. I think I just torqued them all to 28-30 ish

I love my black wheels because I don't have to worry about polishing the rims and if I get a scratch I just touched them up with some black paint

Those are the same wheels I'm going for. They look nice! I think black wheels just make sense for an off-roader. I had M/T Classics on my old Ranger though, and they made it a sharp looking truck. But, alas, they got eaten by brake dust and neglect on my part.
