I will probably stick with about 25%. Once on the trails any darker than that I would have to roll down the windows to see. And if it's muddy or wet I don't like rolling them down.

The truck looks outstanding! 4" lift was the perfect choice.
Only 2 things I would recommend.
1. Please don't ever black out your wheels. The all black trucks with the same aftermarket wheels are getting very old. Those stock wheels look just as good (if not better) than any aftermarket wheels.
2. Paint the edges of your taillights black, it looks amazing on the black trucks.
Enjoy!

I don't plan on doing the wheels. I think they look better than any wheels I have seen on any other truck. It funny you say that about the tails. I bought my night shade paint this weekend. But it has been pouring for 2 days straight out. And supposed to keep raining all week. So maybe I can get them done this coming weekend. Thanks for the complements everyone.

Finally got my fold down screen installed in the truck for my front trail camera. Here are a couple shots. Looks pretty good IMO.

Looks sharp! Trucks look great with the stock FX4 wheels especially on larger tires.

Truck is looking great!!!

Dont forget to give the length of the lug bolts as well. Funny how often people forget about the bolts.

what monitor and stand is that that you are using for your trail camera?

Edit: Nevermind, I found it. My truck didnt come with a backup camera... so needless to say this caught my attention.

If you add one to the back it is not really a big deal, but if you are wanting to add one to the front be sure to find a camera that is not a rear camera. Rear cameras have the image flipped. The one I got has a wire that you cut if you want the image flipped, and another wire to cut if you do not want the guidance lines. The screen has to video inputs, so it would be possible to wire front and back to it if you wanted. I spend less than 50 bucks for everything.

I was finding a rear camera kit for about $350. But it's the handle mounted camera and I also have to get a monitor. If you have any input on how to do a cheaper kit, I'm all ears. Feel free to pm me so that I don't hijack your thread.
