    Just like the title says, I finally added the last piece to finish the exterior. All total it has the Grillcraft black mesh grill, blacked out headlights, debadged, black Westin nerf bars, a couple window stickers, and finally a set of Status Dystany S802 20x9 wheels with Yokohama Parada Spec X 285/50R20 tires. Only took me 2 years and 9 months! The wheels are based off this thread from Yonkpo, who I think you guys ran off. I PM'd him a few times and ended up buying the same wheels in a 20" instead of 22". I love the look of the truck and there is no doubt it's all street truck. The black inserts keep the wheels from being to bling-bling and the 285/50s tuck in there perfectly and give the truck just the wide stance and look it needs. Totally thrilled with how it all came together. And now the pictures.

    That's a good idea, I'll have try and find a picture of a Prerunner with them and see how it looks.

    I like the look, kind of subtle but you know a lot of thought went into it. Great truck.

    I've lived in CA all my life. I've never heard of anyone getting a ticket for not having mudflaps.

    In Kentucky it is illegal to carry an ice cream cone in your pocket. ;)

    So I really paid attention to mudflaps all day yesterday and today and I'd say easily 70% of trucks and large SUVs don't have mudflaps. I saw like 8 dodge rams without any and a few chevys and a bunch of tahoe/expedition types. So first chance I get the flaps are gone.

    +15mm, with the 285/50s and the 1.25" lift I can just barely get my finger between the tire and the UCA, but that's all you need.

    Cool, thanks. I ask cause I have a set of 9" wide wheels with 23mm offset, wanted to make sure there's no issues on the inside.

    No pictures yet but the flaps are gone and you guys were right, it really improves the look of the truck. Only took like 10 minutes to.
