Need SOME Opinions PLEASE!

Alright so i bought some bushwackers a long time ago. still havent got them painted or installed. Ive been kicking around doing a vinyl wrap in camo on them as well as along the bottom of the ol smokestone.....Or possibly just selling them because they are brand new in the box...?
SO..... is the camo a bad idea, im sure there are some a little biast. Im not going to "redneck" this sucker out, i just want something a little different.I think it could look kinda neat.

Paint to match would be easiest and i know would look good...

OR SELL EM.
Heres what im workin with....

Lets see a shot from the front to see how wide the tires are. But for color I say paint to match.

Sell em...IMHO they only look good on very large trucks. Not good for leveled.

I would say get a bigger block for the rear of your truck looks a little nose up. I have a 1.5 lift block rear with 2.5 level kit front. It sits perfect IMHO.

ps - I like your truck. Its got a nice, clean, stock/offroad look.

Unless you're in the military, putting camo on any vehicle is in a sense, "redneck'ing" it out....LOL

I would say sell them. Smokestone would NOT look good with camo. I'm not even crazy about the two-tone Lariats with Smokestone and AB.

I'm sure a member here or on another forum would jump on those flares in a heartbeat.


BTW,
Those wheels look REALLY nice on there!!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome choice.

Personally I would leave it as is. Your truck has a very clean appearance and I think the flares (especially the camo'd flares) would ruin that look. As mentioned above I'm sure there are several on this site that would gladly take them off your hands.

you dont "redneck" something out, your trucks a reflection of you, you either is or you aint what some folks would call "redneck". however i'd have to say my opinion on the bushwhackers is paint to match would look best. possibly tutone if your truck is

I would sell them. Just putting the bushwackers on will make your truck stand out. Are you planning on PTM the bushwacker? Because I think just being chrome will set it off nicely

Alrighty....I guess redneckin isnt correct. I like it some trucks when the do it right.
alright rms8 i feel better with the above statements..Camo it is!!!! ha..nah, I like the way it is now...

JIMC2004...yah thats an old pic. i put an AAL in the back, so its not bulldoggin anymore.
I just need a little something because everything gets thrown down the side of the truck...I like the way it looks, not complaining toooo much, buti have em so i might as well use them... I thing PTM is what is going to happen. Oh and some dang MT's. Only problem is i dont know if these Terra grapplers will ever wear out! 13k so far and they still look new to me.

My truck has similar stance with MT's. I get some stuff thrown but after a about 40K miles like this, there are little/no signs on paint. And I have black which shows everything. So you should be ok with ATs and that paint color.

Leave it alone man. Truck looks great as is. I know its hard to leave it alone, when there is always another part out there for sale. IMHO nothing beats the clean and simple look.

Good luck with the decison
