New Toyo ATs

I bought these this week from Sleestak, who is a member on here. Got them mounted on Friday and was able to get the truck cleaned up this afternoon. I also recently got rid of my chrome steps.

They are Toyo Open Country A/Ts, size 285/65/18. I am running them for the time being on the stock chrome 18" wheels.











I am trying to decide if I want to keep the chrome wheels and bumpers, or if I should go with PTM bumpers and black wheels.

What do you guys think? Any other exterior mods that you guys think would look good?

Looks nice! I think black bumpers and a black grille surround and you're all set.

I've heard people have gotten their chrome bumpers powdercoated to match for $300. I need my back bumper PC'd black.

Chrome is the most hated thing on this site! lol. leave the chrome it looks good!

But.. Id say you could prolly get away with painting over the chrome grille surroud. Its kinda a chrome "paint" hit it with some good primer. Theres a few folks who done theres that way. The bumpers well have them done right.

Where would I get a spray paint that would match the factory color? Any special type of paint that I need to look for? What about the fusion from Krylon?

Good choice of tires, I've had mine for about 8k now and no complaints so far. Really torn on Black or chrome looking at your truck. Black headlights makes me want to say get black bumpers and rims.

Truck looks great. I kinda like the black and chrome look on a 4x4. If you want to get PTM bumpers go to Southwest Ford in Weatherford. They beat everyone's prices on OEM parts and since they are local you dont have to pay for shipping. I think my front bumper was $260 and another $80 to have it painted.
