My first Toro. I love the '69s.

UPDATE: 10-03-2006

20"x8.5" KMC Jacks & Five chrome rims in the mail, with 245/40/20 rubber, +38 offset with a 5"x5" (5"x127mm) bolt-pattern.

Also, just got a 3" true dual exhaust (Flowmwaster) done, with chrome double-walled tips. Pics coming soon.

Thinking of bagging it and a blower-style cleaner scoop. MSD ignition upgrades in the mail.

UPDATE: 10-16-2006

The guys shipped out the wrong bolt-pattern. Can you believe that? This isn't brain surgery...it's a set of wheels. You just need 4 things correct: style, size, offset and bolt-pattern. How could you possibly screw up? Wasted 3 weeks already. I went ahead and ordered KMC SS 20"x8.5" instead now. The Jacks & Five have a backorder.

Also, since the front suspension is torsion-bar type, I can't slap on a same generation airbag kit from an El Dorado to drop this. It will have to be completely custom. Let's see...

UPDATE: 10-20-2006

KMS SS in the mail, delivery 10-24-06. Hopefully they'll send the right one's this time! Cant' wait.

UPDATE: 10-24-2006

Ok, I got the rims today, but, as luck would have it, there are some more issues this time. The rims need about 3mm to clear the front disc brakes, and the same amount to clear the rear drums. What drama. Hub-centric spacers in the mail...

UPDATE: 11-01-2006

Rims installed, with spacers.

Optional OEM passenger side mirror installed (purchasde from Fusik).

MSD ignition upgrade (distributor, blaster coil, plugs and wires) installed.
