    So far I have the Rhino Wheels, All Country Tires, and a leveling kit on my new truck, but something seems to be missing to me. I can't put my finger on it, but I want it to look a little more beefy and don't know what it needs. Any ideas?

    Lose the air-dam, mud flaps, racks, badges and add a shell, tint and a Pro grill. Boom, done.

    Ditch the chin and put some mud on it. Looks way too clean.

    Needs some pinstripes too.

    Maybe not sliders, but the stock steps look pretty good to get some "beef" working...
