Nice thread!! Yea I love the color. Sometimes looks green sometimes grey.. Dont see too many of our color. I still cant decide on a grill either. Hard to decide what looks best with this color. iL probably end up with a fx2 grill painted to match. Becasue I dont see a black or chrome grill looking good on my truck. As for wheels.. yea it just has to be the right setup whether its chrome or black. Both can look good on this color I think.. No more monster or rockstars guys!!!! There are other wheels out there

Heres what Im thinking Im going to do...... Fabtech 6" lift with coilovers, 35x12.5 18 Nitto Trail Grapplers, and the Procom Xtreme alloy 7033 in flat black. Than some kind of simple black light bar up front. As far as grille... not sure yet, Ill just leave mine until I find something that I know will look good. And either have my nerf bars covered in line x or lose them and just go with some rocker guards. I have a couple months to decide, just need to get it done by spring, when the snow starts melting in the mountains.

Here are the wheels

That truck is rocking, dude!

I like the chrome wheels, especially wth the chrome grille surround...
And, with those gargantuan tires, your truck can definitely wear those beige fender flares.
The beige honeycomb grille that you have now, is working, but the Fx2 billet-style grille would look great. You could go with either dark stone or maybe beige, to match flares and bumpers? (...you'd have to see someone's).
I replaced my black honeycomb grille with a black H-bar grille. It works for me, because my running boards are black, and I may powder coat my bumpers black.

Impressive looking ride!

Keep us updated....

I really like those Pro Comp wheels, dude.

Hey, nice off-road action photos. You have give a "shout out " to your truck for challenging those hills with the OEM tires.

But, yes, PLEASE lift him and buy him some larger shoes, when you can...

...and, the chrome rivets and lugs on those wheels will tie in just right with the grille surround and the running boards.

Keep me posted...

Cool! Bucko...

Yea! the dark stone does look good with black/silver wheels, and the black fender lip molding (looks almost like OEM?)

This is the set-up I am leaning toward. Plus I have black running boards and the black H-bar grille.

Thanks for posting. This is exactly what I needed to see.

Thanks Rob. Yea I dunno man.. Sometimes I think about painting all the beige/tan stone metallic as well. Than either paint my rims black or buy black ones. Than maybe a black billlet grill.. Than I would have a stone metallic and black theme going. (my black windows, n fab steps, tow mirrors, door handles.) Sometimes I feel too much is going on with my two tone and little chrome. But it looks damn good as is and I probably need to stop thinking about it.

Thanks... these trucks are quite impressive as far as what they can do in stock form, it'll be interesting to see how much better just a lift and tires will make it. As far as rims, there are so many choices its hard to decide but as far as price and looks those are about the best I've found.

I found another truck that looks really clean ......
