You could get the same look w/ black aftermarket steelies and get the bigger tires on there. That's my only issue is 265s do not belong on 4x4s ever. Looks great other than the tire size.

looks good. i want to do that with my 2nd gen, because all my truck's accessories are black so the chrome wheels look funny. But i do want the chrome center caps and beauty rings to break up all the black. Haven't been lucky enough to find a full set of 2nd gen steelies yet with the beauty rings around my area.

It's a lot easier to find 16" trim rings than 17". Heck, I still have a set of 16" trim rings that I pulled off the 1992 Dodge CTD I owned way back when....

What is it about mudflaps that so many guys around here don't like them??? I have them because they too are "Purposeful"


And I'm not planning on going back to bigger tires. I know they look better but I'm trying to just be done with constantly changing things......

Yeah. Just wait til the mid 40s+. You will want all the accessories that make it easier to get you and your cargo in and out of the truck. And the less you have to clean the better so rubber flooring starts looking good as well as those mudflaps. Smaller tires are easier to clean and they fling less crud all over your truck.
I like my truck looking good but it's starting to hurt trying to keep it that way...

Oh I feel you on that, I can already vision what you mean. I see it with my dad, he is so meticulous with his truck (my old 05 f150).

The older I get, the more certain things start looking better (like women older than me lol).

Nonetheless, the truck looks great!

HaHa! I know what you mean there but I'm not saying another word......

Now, on another note, does anyone think it would look better with the black grill inserts and chrome bugshield? I still have both and am thinking about trying that look....

And for the record, I actually had two people come up to me today and asked if I owned the green truck so they could tell me it was sweeet! Maybe it's just that it has wheels nobody has seen before and they are "Novel", I don't know....

And yet another "NEW" look. The black kind of started looking cheesy to me. I like it this way much better. Pics aren't great. I'll get better ones later on...

One more crappy pic. It looks like the rear is jacked up but it's just because of the ruts my truck has made in the driveway due to this stinkin heavy engine!! I also added a black MOPAR aluminum fuel door but it doesn't really show up in the picture.....
