Truck looks good as always. You should paint the bumper with the bed armour next!

I used the Dupli-color bed Armour pn my rear bumper, and it just peeled right off. So I havnt used it since, I used some cheapers stuff that I used on my backrack 2 years ago. Fogs look good, just need a new cover. Im thinking of trying to put mesh of something in my so it doesnt look as odd.

Thanks for the comments guys!

Well, I was thinking about it. But I'm in the process of building a tube winch bumper...so that would kind of defeat the purpose. The new bumper will be bed lined.

I know, it took me long enough. aaaaaaaaaaand here it comes, you call me out on the sig. I knew that this would bite me in the *** one day. I should have never mentioned yours. HAHA.

Thanks man, the only problem I have with fender flares is the lack of tire clearances. I had to cut enough to stuff 33" tires on a 16x7" wheel with +25mm offset. The new wheels are 16x8.5" -6mm offset...so they are going to stick out ~ 1.5" than they do now....yikes!

I could, I actually think it looks better with the style of your truck.
