    I'm Jimmy, 23 from southwest virginia, currently living in Tn, I just picked this up Friday, so far I love it. Looking to do a clean install on Nav, custom enclosed box and a few other little things like a leveling kit and heated seats. I have been skimming on this forum for about 2 weeks and it seems to be full of information. Thanks in advance for future questions.

    welcome to TW.... one recommendation I would throw out there for consideration is while your truck is new think about if you will want to keep the mud flaps on...i took mine off after 2 years and there are lines in the paint from where they rubbed

    Thanks everyone, yeah the wheels are great. I'll prob make some ppl mad when I paint the beadlocks haha.
    Thanks for the advice on the mud flaps though. haha yeah I can def see how it can be addicting and quick. Is there a page that has all the vendors on it? I searched but couldn't find something that had all of them with a link to their site.
    JC is great, I go there all the time. Anywhere good to ride some trails near?
