that makes a ton of sense... thanks....

Ok so here are three current pics. I've swapped the black tool box for a chrome for a little contrast (even though I'm not a huge fan of chrome)...

I'm looking at three options... if you reply please let me know what order you would do these in.... I'm starting to the think the rims/tires don't look half bad...

1. Chrome Bull Bar with Matte Skid Plate (Westin)

2. Roof rack with basket/shovel/jack/spare etc.

3. New rims/tires

Definitely wheels/tires. It's the most costly, but piling on other bolt-ons can quickly surpass that (plus the stockers could be sold). That will really seperate it from others on the road.

Loose the tool box altogether, or change to an under the rail model that isn't seen from the outside of the truck.

I agree with the general consensus. Looking at the new one and your old one you have more wheel well gap to fill in on the new comparative to the size of the wheels. New wheels and some bigger tires I think you'll have a real nice aggressive look.

Ok so I'm keeping the toolbox... :-) And I found a guy in town that's going to sell me the stock silver 20's with tires (less than 200 mi) for $650. It's about the best I can afford at the time and I think the 20's will get me back to the look of the old truck.

why would you want to take the look of the TRX which is an offroad package, and try to revert it to the sport, standard base model?

Not trying to throw a wrench into this, but you need to ask the question of whats your end result look like in your mind.
