Hey everyone, I'm somewhat new here. I've posted a little in the forums the other day, but I still consider myself new


Within the first week of getting it


Added fender flares




Double DIN CD/DVD player




Lookin' a little dirty today







Alright. So we (my dad and I) painted, drilled holes in the fender, and mounted the fender flares (also called trim molding) because his 2003 white King Ranch has them and they look so much better with them on it. I also have the Pioneer head unit which is a DVD player as well, and not pictured are the 2 12" subwoofers in the back seat. What can I say, I like bass. But I need to take a newer picture tomorrow if I remember. It's filthy right now, which is how I like my trucks. I plan on putting a leveling kit on it, since it's a 2wd. But once I save up some money (in the next year or maybe even 2), I would like to get some rims and bigger tires. I just don't know what would look better on this color combination. The black wheels, the chrome, or the chrome and black. I plan on getting a billet grille as well, I'm just still debating on brands. Any input on where/what brand I need to get?
Oh, and I almost forgot: We're planning on sanding and painting the chrome grille shell to match the blue of the truck. I hate the chrome shell that's on it and it looks so much better when it matches. I'd like to do that with the mirrors as well but I'm not quite sure how to go about doing that. And over the cab clearance lights are in the future as well, and I'm still debating on which headlights to go with and which ones will look best, and the same goes for the tail lights. But the one thing I'm sure of is an LED smoked third brake light.
I know that is a lot to take in at one time.
All feedback welcomed!

To me, of course it's my truck and I'm picky about things, nothing matches navy blue and beige striping very well together. That's why I haven't done anything with lights yet.

Good looking truck Highfly24!! If you don't like the Harley heads, some Lightning heads will look right at home.
