    Your truck your preferences. Do what you want. You have the freedom. :oldglory:

    I like black wheels, but everyone has them now so keep that in mind.

    it's really just personal opinion, but I'd say yes to black wheels and no to the bull bar

    It's a street truck, but I love the off road look. Other than flooding, which we get a lot of in our area, the lift and larger tires are cosmetic. Trying to keep it interesting and fresh. It's 11 years old and I plan to keep it for many more. The interior is stock with the exception of a new Pioneer 6100 stereo and interior LED lighting and new floor mats. Love the hands free and backup cam, gives it a little newness.

    WHY ????

    I am from the "Large Car" side and polished chrome and aluminum shows :cool: when properly cared for and YES this is on trucks that LIVE in the DIRT..:thumbsup:

    The Black out is NICE if that is what you want; we did it on my Old taco wheels BUT I quickly replaced them with 2nd gen TRD's..

    Individual choices BUT do not SLAM chrome unless you try it 13529171_959128834202063_4221677333696015542_n.jpg

    Get rid of the bull bar, and color match your grill surround . :thumbsup: I'd also put the toyota emblem back on and just paint it black rather than having the mounting holes exposed.
