Hey Slim.....
Sorry I missed the PM. I'm really bad about that...
My tires (as Paw Paw correctly guessed) are BFG 285/70-17"s. (33")
Great tires, as far as wear, quiet, smooth ride, etc. But I think 35"s would look better. 37"s would look WAAY better.
Just couldn't see the > several thousands of dollars < needed to correctly lift the truck, and re-gear it, to go with 37"s...... Then the total hassle of getting my fishing gear in and out of the bed, nearly every time I use it + the greatly increased fuel costs for my typical 200 mile round trips.
The whole idea of big tires and wheels would just not be logical for my uses of the truck.... but I still think that would look cooler than $#!+
Peace,
Fish
BTW, Geeez ! That chrome bumper and grille surround ! What an eyesore ! I believe I most recently posted that photo to show how "bad" it looked at that point

Hey Truck Guy....
I hope your not just messing with me 
It's like this.... I LOVE my truck. It's ALL me. It has a very unique look, and I think it matches my boat perfectly.
But the thing is, while I have 1 person here or there, come up and just get all goofy over it... Ooooh Ahhh ! What color is that ? I love your wheels... bedcover, awesome truck, yada, yada.
I have a LOT more guys look at it through the corner of their eye, with this look that asks;
Why is it "brown" ? {and not white ?}
Why isn't their any chrome ?
Why isn't it lifted 10", with 37" tires ? {which I do love the look of BTW, but totally illogical for my uses of the truck}
And my answer to all of those questions is > Their are very things about me that "are normal", so why would my truck be ?
My truck is way out there in the left field, so I don't have to walk far to use it LOL
Peace,
Fish
I'll be doing this in about 2 hours Paint looks kind of different here, huh ? Stone Green does shift alot.
