Well if your going for the "Casper" look which you named it I'd go all white, it would be a big change looks wise. Would compliment all your chrome and ptm items too.

If you do dsg it's only a shade darker than the Arizona beige, wont me much of a difference.

Good point tg.. I just don't want it to look like a contractors truck per say. I would go black but one of my friends did that, and although It flows with his truck, it wouldn't with mine. He has black wheels, black headlights, ect that compliment it. Theres just something about the tan that screams grandpa truck to me and at times I like it others I don't. Just want a change.

I'm with tg. The white goes with your theme way better.

It wouldn't be a contractors truck, yours looks too damn good to be mistaken for that!

I'm with the other guys. If I were to paint the bottom a different color it would be white. Been wanting to do this to my fx4, it white with the grey bottom.

I think you mean grandma truck, that is who you got it from right

All seriousness though I don't think any 2tone truck should have chrome bumpers, looks like it skipped an option. It's meant to be all white

I agree 100% with tg150.

I think the gold on the bottom looks good if the bumpers were PTM. Otherwise I think painting the bottom all white would look the best. Either way you have a beautiful truck

Truck is beautiful! I'd do mark LT handles to bring the chrome up the truck a bit

Looks sick man.

I need some advice on a problem I have. I have a very similar suspension/tires setup as you and am having major rubbing problems. I have 9" wide rims with 5.4" backspacing with new 35x12.5 Toyo MTs (same as you? Looks to stick out about the same amount) on a Fabtech lift (sits near rancho height) and my new Toyos are rubbing the inner lariat fender flare really badly. I thought about trimming them but I think it will still rub the harder plastic corner underneath which is tough enough to maybe take chunks of out my tires and I don't want that. Do you have this rubbing problem and if so what did you do about it?

Thanks patman!

Msall,

Way back when all I had was a 2.5" level with these same tires I had to trim my flares and back inner fender well. It was all plastic and made me want to cry doing it, but that solved my issues. I used a sawzall and a plastic dremel to fine touch it. I did not have to trim the front valence. Hope that helps!

Sweet, so you trimmed the flares and the thicker plastic fender layer behind them? Do you have a pic of how much you had to cut? I'm gonna have to do that. Thanks.
