Default My 99 Flareside (5.4 4x4)

I got my first truck in October 2009. It came with dual exhaust, billet grille and old tint. So far I've only put about 500 miles on it, and done a few little things to it.

-New pads and rotors.
-New rad hoses.
-Rotate / Balance.
-K&N Filter
-Clean Throttle Body.
-Paint tow hooks, antenna, diff. cover, hitch.
-Chrome pipe covers.
-Smoked Plate Cover.
-Restored Headlights.
-Spot Mirrors.

Here are random pics. Oct - now. K&N decal is gone, now has the girl.

I love that truck! I'm ridiculously jealous, THAT is the exact truck I wanted when I bought mine. Unfortunately for me they're super-rare in my area. Nice purchase and enjoy the truck.

Just getting 265-285 of somesort is fine, them rims look fine. No need to spend a ton of money right away.

Well, I don't want to go full out on rims, I'd just like to get the 17" rims that were stock on the 97-98 years and some 265-285 M/Ts maybe BFG or Goodyears. I think that would definitely help the look, and then it wouldn't suck in the mud and snow.

I'd keep the same wheels, with 265 white letter BFG's of some kind for sure... mixing oem wheels on different model years looks terrible to me...

Good looking truck. Which wheels are you looking for? I have a new set on the way. Mine are for sale if you are interested.
