What wheels and tires? In my opinion the thing,besides wheels and tires,that will finish your truck would be removing the steps,bug guard and getting depo fog lights.

Wheels that I ordered are Vision Warrior Chrome, Tires I will be putting on are Goodyear Duratracs 285 70 17.

I thought about removing the steps however I live in Wisconsin and the truck has some rust on the rockers that I think would be even more noticeable if I removed the step. The bug guard doesn't really bother me, I thought about taking it off and seeing how it looks since it would be a simple thing to remove.

Do you have an example or a link of what the depo fog lights you are talking about?

The only other thing I considered was removing the side molding on the truck as well, but for right now I am going to leave it on. (Kind of worried about removing it and having a significant difference in paint color)

Purchased a new battery last week and finally installed it. The battery that I replaced was the original battery from 2003!

Use a pin stripe eraser. They work wonders and worth the price you pay
