Going for a total Red with Black accents look for the truck.

The day I bought it. Everything stock.



After De-badging
1.5 t-bars and 2 inch rear shackles.



Bedlined the sides.



Pre corner and rear light tint.



With the whip and the light tint.



Front view of the corners.



Rear tails.



My Hand-me-down CB.

looks good, I have been thinking about tinting my marker and taillights but not as dark as that. Maybe just a smoke. But anyways it looks good and I like the bedliner flares.

Looking good so far but unless you plan on NOT going offroad I'd pass on the Thornbirds. Get the Trxus MT's or IROK's if you want Super Swampers.

^x2 I have never heard of anybody that really liked thornbirds for on road or offroad use. So unless you really like the way they look or have a deal on a used set id go with the two tires mentioned above or maybe cooper stt, a mud or trail grappler, or a super swamper ssr.

Thanks guys!

Aj and Sifd
Thanks for the info haha, I was really leaning more towards the Irok's or some Boggers, But the other day i saw a 2500hd rollin around on some Thornbirds and they looked soo mean.

Buttt with what you guys said ill be looking at some other tires.

I was also looking at Mud-Grapplers but i heard Nittos were pretty soft, tread wise.

Anymore recommendations on some M/t's?

Bigmatt
I just used a Can of VHT from my local Advance Auto Parts

It only runs about 12 or 13 bucks and you only need a can for your lights.



Update

Probably going to Pick up some PIAA lights from a buddy to mount on my Roof rack.

(Depending on weather or not he has to go out of town.)
I've got my fingers crossed haha

Looks nice!

For tires I'd recommend Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs if you're looking at A/T. I love mine and they are quiet.

Nice choice on the Pro-Comp 97 Series if you decide to get them. I have them with 4.5" backspacing and love them. Bought them off of www.4wheelparts.com for I think $60 a rim. They're very lightweight but solid and look great shiny or covered in mud.
