    I don't know if I would want my tires sticking out that far without aftermarket fender flares. The side of my truck gets a lot of spray as it is. I don't think front mud flaps would make a difference in that regard either. It looks mean as shit though.

    What I do a lot for a visual is google the wheel name and tacoma together. Lot of time you can click images and get a good idea of representation.

    Sounds good Wanna. I hope that you find what you are looking for. I will attach a link for some flaps that I was looking at that might help with your trucks future wider stance.

    My truck needs a wash since hunting season is over. The only mod that I've done is the plasti dip on the front grille. Debating to do the rear bumper or not. The step bars are iffy, it helps my dad get in the truck but aggravating to me when getting out and they are wet.

    That's a good looking truck. I'm looking into getting some sliders. Not sure which ones to go with though. I was never a fan of the running boards. I'm afraid that they would get damaged too easily.

    Thanks!!! Its not much but I guess its a slow start. Only reason I keep the running boards on is b/c of my dad when we go hunting. The front needs some type of lift on it, not sure to go with bilstein 5100 or just a small spacer lift since I don't do any offroading that requires flex or anything like that. Just some muddy paths that my current H/T tires handle. Back to the wheels, not sure I want an all black wheel or something that has the beadlock on it or some kind of contrast.

    Are you looking for an actual beadlock or are you just going for the look? Actual beadlocks can get really expensive and the maintinence on them is a pain in the ass from what I've heard. Not to mention they aren't street legal. In most states anyway. I have a website saved on my laptop of a company that does both. Actual beadlocks and faux beadlocks. They will take a bead ring of your choice and put it on a rim of your choice also. It's a pretty cool sounding concept. When I can get to it I will link it here.

    Not real beadlocks just for looks. Even its it like the method standards the silver pieces around the wheel.

    Those wheels are sick but only available in painted finishes. Fingers crossed for a machined finish.

    As far as I know, none of their rims come with centercaps. I guess it is to keep that "true" offroad look. My F5's don't have them and I think that they still look great. I would rather my wheels didn't have centercaps because knowing my luck I would lose a few of them anyway.
