Wow super nice rig. I almost bought the same exact truck (except 5sp manual instead of Auto), but walked away when the dealer wouldn't come down another $250. Regretted it for years. 285/75/16 will fit nicely with no problems. Maybe tint all the windows.

Good luck, and keep us all posted!

This morning I got some 285/75/16 BFG A/Ts. Now I have to decide what to do with the rims. Bed liner for a black textured look? A gunmetal gray? Leave them the same? Still deciding.

Id get a couple cans of plastidip firstoff. Not that expensive, and gives you a good look of what to expect. If you dont like it, peel it right off. Super simple to remove.

I say leave them silver. You can never go wrong with the black tire / silver wheel contrast.

I take it you installed the radio yourself? if that's correct how was it to install?

I like the truck BTW, going good with the build so far.

I did install it myself. It was about as straightforward as it gets, but I've done a few before. I always buy a harness so it's plug and play and I don't have to hack up the factory wiring.
