    Well that just helped me decide whether or not I should go up to 285's.

    I guess I'm just getting too old to want to cut up my truck:mad:

    But 285's look damn good...:cool:

    i also have the stock side steps and mudflaps on. i dont use the sidesteps for the most part and im not to scared of washing my truck if it gets a little muddy. is it worth taking them off to give it a higher look?

     I found this a while ago, it is now in the first gen how-to stickied thread...

    The Nalgene bottle is creative, yet ghetto. I think the PVC pipe may be the way to go...

    Zach - your fender flares look great. How long does Magic Erasers keep them looking like that? Do you know?

    Keep the mudflaps on, take the side steps off. That's my opinion

    A couple days ago i got a hitch put on my truck. I would of done it myself but I don't have a heated garage and it's been in the low -20c the last couple days(im in canada). I got it done at the local high school, they do everything for free.

    Today I put a new lightbulb in my dashboard since one had died.

    I know. Not long enough. I put some 303 UV protectant over mine and they looked great for a while, but didn't keep up with it, and now they are hazing again. I'm not a wash and detail my truck every month kind of guy...
