[QUOTE=69face;

These Are The Best I Could Get. The Ones I Took With My Camera Are Too Big. How Do I Resize Them And What Determines The Size When I Shoot Them?[/QUOTE]

Yea I have the same prob, what I do is email them to myself and that resizes them, there should be a setting that you can change on your camera (I can't do it so I will ask the 12 year old kid next door to do it for me)

Re: got a new truck!!!!

Nice truck! Can't wait to see it with the dropped. As far as what determines the picture size, it's the resolution on the camera. The higher the resolution the bigger the picture (and less pics you can fit in your memory card).

Re: got a new truck!!!!

well i went to the pomona swap meet yesterday and these things followed me home. Sorry for the crappy picture. they are 22x9 coys. 5.50 backspacing on the front, 5 backspacing on the back. I'm running a 285-35-22 tire front and rear. my drop is approx. 5/7 with a flip kit and shackles in the rear c notched, and 2 inch drop coils with 3 inch djm drop spindles. ill have pictures of the truck dropped on 22s as soon as i get to take pictures to do it justice.

Re: got a new truck!!!!

I'm loving that dash. Looks really nice. If you don't mind me asking...how much did that set you back? I can't wait to see what the truck looks like, dropped, rimmed and ready to run. Keep us updated!

i smooth the dash out by fiberglassing, bondo and primer and i sent it to my upholster and he put padding on it and covered it for 110.

Yo! Y'all! Especially 69face!
VERY impressed with your truck and the work you're doing on it!!
Search for Windows Powertoys. Download and install the picture re-sizer software. Then you can use "custom" to re-size to 642x0 pixels for posting on this forum. I use an 8.1 Megapixel Sony myself.
Please PM me with questions, I'm happy to help!
Todd.

Does that work using Vista? I had it on my last two XP computers but tried to use it on the new laptop and Vista told me to kick rocks!
