Just a little update with my truck. Just got done repainting the grill and front bumper. While I was at it I painted the plastic bumper cover to match as well. Messed up a little on the passenger side, but it was done with rattle cans and outside in the wind. So it doesn’t look too bad after knowing that lol.
The truck is about to cross over 132,000 miles. I got it in 2018 with 65,000 miles, so I’ve been driving it a good bit.
looks great! what kind of wheels are they again? and do you know the offset?

They are Mickey Thompson Classic ii 17x8.5 wheels. They aren’t made anymore because they have the newer model classic iii. I don’t remember the offset but if you go on their website all of the specs are listed.
Here is an update what my 05 looks like now. I went with a 2" leveling kit, replaced the 17" steel wheels w/09-14 18" factory wheels, new tires, a new radio, center console, keyless entry, bull bar, LED light bar & a backup camera.
I picked this up a couple years ago via auction from a municipality in North Texas. It had a Tommy Lift, Cab Lights and had been sitting for a while. The tires were dry rotted, interior was trashed and the suspension was shot.
I've cleaned up the interior, installed a head unit I had laying around from my old '08 along with some speakers as well. I also had some raptor wheels with 285/70/17 KO2s and bought a cheap RC 2.5 lift kit. I've replaced the ball joints, UCAs alternator, battery and installed IWE eliminators. Of course I changed all fluids and flushed the cooling system.
This thing isn't pretty but I'd drive it anywhere.
