Couple questions:

Is your truck 4x2 or 4x4?

It doesn't look like you have done the leveling kit. If you haven't, have you had any problems with the front tires rubbing when turning?

What is the exact size of tires?

Well, I like everything except the roof-mounted running lights (can't see the point) the reflectors on the runners, the reflectors on the rear and the hood scoop. Oh yeah, not too crazy about chrome door handles or the hood scoop.

Other than that, it's great!

I am planning on ordering some superduty lights and installing them.
Lights were not to hard to install. Pulled wires between headliner and top with coat hanger and then down door post "thru moonroof opening".

Tires are 33 x 12.5 x 18 Toyo Open Country's. Have leveling kit and no problems with rubbing at all. Front end looks lower because it is sitting on a downward incline. 4 x 4

How about a side view to show how the 33's fill up the wheel well?
As requested!

In regards to the last post, I respect all of your opinions good or bad! The whole reason I asked for opinions is to give me a idea if I have "tacky" items on my truck. So far the hood scoop seems to be the most commented on item. If you think something looks bad say so.... It wont hurt my feelings..

I'm not a fan of bug shields, window visors, or any of that stick-on crap. I think it makes your truck look like a poster child for Lund.
The wheels, tires and fender flares look ok though.

Looks great! Except the hood scoop, its got to go.

Did the flares come painted or was that extra?
