    Love the chrome. Looks great the way it sits.

    3" lift, Wheels and Tires. Nothing else you can add can make as big a difference as those things. OH.. And a PRO grill for good measure. :yes:

    Keep the chrome and keep it simple.

    Decide if you are going to lift your truck or otherwise modify the suspension. This drives your “investment decisions” in other areas.

    Once you decide, simple aggressive additions are:
    Black wheels.
    More tread on tires.
    Something to make the roof taller.

    Personally I would just tint the 2 front windows and roll with it.

    I love the way your truck looks.
    But you could consider swapping out the wheel well mouldings for the matt black ones (like the OR).
    And I would definitely mount a Gatling Turret in the bed. :p

    If you just want a more aggressive look, cut your bumper.

    For my 2 cents I would go with:

    Matching Tint, aggressive tires, chrome tip, in channel rain guards, Meso turn signals and on the interior I would grab a TRD pro shifter. I assume you liked the chrome when you bought so I won’t recommend removing the limited trim pieces. Endless options, have fun.

    OK guys I will keep you posted! I have a lot of research to do. I’m glad to hear some of y’all like the stock look to. The V8 would be great! Anybody who has all season tires has it changed the way the truck drives or is it any louder?

    I would do everything that has been mentioned so far. The Buick look has to go.

    Nothing wrong with leaving them the way they're made. Your truck has a nice clean look.
