    I just recently added 265/75R16 BFG A/T tires and some 16x8 Dick Cepeck DC 1 wheels

    Next to come: tint windows and 3 inch lift

    I want some opinions on whether or not you think i should leave the bumper and fenders black, that comes on the base trucks or should i paint the bumper to match the truck and leave the fenders black to go with the wheels. I'm kinda leaning towards just painting the bumper.
