    Why has no one mentioned that HE NEEDS CENTER CAPS!!!! One of the best ways to make your really nice truck look like a junker is to not have center caps on your wheels.

    IMO, its all in the wheels and tires. they look junky, and bring the rest of the truck down. If they had caps, were cleaned up and the white letters on the tire brought back to life it would turn it around.

    The other question is what are you going for? seems like your a little confused here.

    Gotta have a vision with your ride man, an intended style or even a statement made. If you just put stuff on your truck cuz you think its cool then youll end up with a really weird look. Like people that have 24" chrome rims and low pros along with Bolt on fender flares, spoiler, dual exhaust and CB antennas. While all are tight to have, they dont go well together.

    Me personally, i go for clean, smooth, simple and flawless. So i debadged it, tinted the front windows to match the back, got rid of all the chrome so everything is the same color, and leveled the front so she sits right. and i dont off road it so it stays clean and in awesome shape.

    Others go for off road capable, so they dont care about color matching or any of that shit, they just wanna make it as capable as possible and dont worry so much about the "style". Their truck is tight cuz it can do more than others.

    Maybe this is just a stoner rant, or maybe it makes sense? i dunno

    I want it to look nice but be offroad capable you know what I mean? It's mainly for daily driving but it's also nice to have a capable truck if you ever wanted to go off-roading. The biggest mistake I made was the rcd lift. I love it and it rides good and looks good but not so offroad capable. I wanted to build it in kind of an overland style you know?

    I zoomed in on his pic and its hard to tell. If there are caps there, then he just needs new wheels. :notsure:

    Id say get new wheels and tires that have a wider offset, that'd give you better stance for off road and give you a better look for your big fender flares. And i think painting the bumper and fender flares would make this thing look real sick. Do that and your done! only about 3k worth of shit.....

    Not a fan of those wheels. The stock TRD's look better IMO. Maybe you could derp one and see how it comes out?

    Well theres a cap alright. my beef with this setup is 2 things

    It is a 17" wheel (i think) but the actual design is only like 15" because of the lip. This makes your rim look like a 15". I prefer rims that have little to no lip, and the design goes to the very edge of the rim. This makes the rim look way better.

    Your tire lettering needs to be either touched up or flipped inside.

    nothing wrong with the wheels they are just too small to look right with that huge front bumper. need 16x10 wheels and bigger tires and it would look awesome then.

    or you can just sell the bumper and put a smaller one on there and keep the wheels and tires you have already.
