That area where you're getting the firewood sure doesn't look like Iowa in the background to me -- in fact, if I were a betting man I'd have said that was Louisiana or East Texas.....

man i really like your truck!

just a suggestion, if you paint the rear wheel wells(really its the bed sides) black or use that aerosol underbody coating it will look just like the front and the eye wont be drawn to it. as a bonus if you use the underbody coating it helps protect that paint from rocks, stick, etc. and it can be removed pretty easy with a wire brush.

what brand/kind of underbody spray do you like? i thought it would be less strong than spray paint since its rubberized

I did the same thing to my truck and actually used bed liner spray paint to coat the inside of my rear wells. Worked out really nice.

One before:


And one after:

yeah, just the skyjacker 6" with AAL's, rear does seem to sit a tad bit higher in the rear.. Eventually i will get a 1-2" Leveling kit in the front to make up for it.

So far i love the KM2's, they grab great in the sand, havnt really had a chance to test them out in any serious mud, unfortunatly it doesnt seem to rain down here that often.. lol. But this last winter when i was up in iowa, they did amazing in the snow.

this is what I use. I put it on the frame rails under the cab too because they were fading and looking brown. Now that i have this on there every time I come out of the car wash my frame rails are a nice dark black.
