Just mask the tires and paint them. Pull the front tires off though, paint isn't great for the brakes. Black grille and a painted bowtie look pretty sweet.

Yeah I'm going to paint the grill black this weekend but I'm unsure where to get the plastidip but I'll probably wait till spring to do the wheels because of the snow

There are plenty of stock trucks on here that hit the dirt. If you want it to look more off road just take it off road and get some dirt on it and in it and have fun. Learn what it can do as is and this way you wont push it to hard when you start to mod it out. The last thing is don't forget your camera when you finally get in the dirt. Wheel safe, wheel smart.

The Nightshade tint most guys use is not removable, and it may be illegal as well depending on where you are. Looks pretty sweet though.

Wheel spacers are an inexpensive way to get a wider stance look.
