i felt like blowing 12 bucks at the T/A. which i did
i felt like blowing 12 bucks at the T/A and bought 2 front hubcaps for the columbia. i grabed the 5 notchers. i brought it outside and was tooling around with it and couldnt get the damn thing to fit on there. i put the notched areas around the obvious groves on the hub.one side would slide in flush, but then the other side was botched up. i tried to gently knock it in place and dented the living **** outta them. is there a trick? and do you need to use those little clips its comes with., because without them i got it to fit on good but was worried it would fall off after 5 miles. any insite?

As a Columbia driver myself I wanted to say congratulations on doubling the value of your truck. Whats next? Naked lady mudflap weights?

You can put all the chrome they make on a Freightliner, but it's still a Freightliner. :p

I did the same thing with my mack. My boss bought them for me. I messed them up bad tryin to get them on. He just laughed and when my truck was at mack for a recall i picked up my truck and they were on there. My boss told mack to have them put it on. I still dont know how they did it.:confused: |
I didnt know they even made chrome for a Mack.

tsk tsk tsk. Now I know why they can't adjust their own headlights these days. How hard is popping on a hubcap?
