    Wheels are really the only thing that can bring these trucks to life without some heavy aftermarket components. I have my eyes on a truly obnoxious wheel colour this spring to really try to bring the truck to life

    Could do a colored overlay on the badges. Was going to do that, but decided I like stealth better.

    Love the rack and the design on it on top. I wonder if the new 4th gen OEM (ARB) rack will bolt up on the 3rd gen...hmmmm.

    Looks like 285's? Nice stance. I've got 265/75R16 ready to install... I don't like how these trucks handle with 10 ply tires so I opted for the largest 4 ply. But damn, that look is making me second guess myself. I think I'd rub tho w/ the TRD lift currently installed (2/1.5)

    Debadge, so your TRD Sport "pops" like an SR. Then dress it up with a bunch of cheap decals and bolt on junk from Amazon. Definitely go with the TRD OR decal...on your Sport. That's always a winner.
    Or you can just leave it alone and enjoy your already good looking truck. The new tires will help and perhaps go with the bronze wheels. Not sure if you're concerned about resale, but stock always wins.
