I think you need bigger tires and wheels at least some 20' even the plastichrome would look better than those 17"s . Also my wife says you have to take that sticker off the side of the box and paint the truck all one colour, hmmm maybe you should have just bought a Sport instead, they look tougher out of the box.
Man the more I look at your truck the more it grows on me.....just some nice rims and tires BFG Mud and whatever tires in a 20 in plenti, not even sure what sizes are available I have found Chrysler really does make some obscure rims like the one I had on my 03 Durango, very hard to find nice tires for it. I do not like these Wrangler HP's, Dry rot in less than 3 years on my Durango and nobody would step up so I just bought some new tires.

just wait for now, they only way i would think of putting 20's on my offroad model truck would be with 37's or larger, but thats me. I think 18's are best, 4wheelparts has been having a huge sell on procomp rims, throw some of those in 18" along with some bigger AT and there you go, it's practical and economical
leave the two tone, if you painted yours like a sport you'd look like half the trucks on this site

Might as well keep the two tone since you have it and it's somewhat unique.
I would select a color theme though and stick with it. You've got a chrome toolbox, black plastic handles & mirrors and silver rims. Maybe just go chrome? Sell the silver rims and some chrome ones? 18's or 20's? Or go back to the black box and then it'll better match a black headache rack?
Either way I say you get some tires with more aggressive tread. It will help the look A LOT. No need for crappy HP's.

Diggin my truck how it stands.... MOPAR 20's (eventually a more aggressive tread).... like the chrome toolbox and silver wheels.... all in all I'm digging the truck finally.... I just took it out and baptised the 20's in some Southern Red Clay! Thanks for the input guys....as we all know it ultimately comes down to what each of us like for our own trucks.

Sorry, I'm a little late to this thread. Who makes the flares in this pic? I have been looking for some, but I haven't ran across these. I have a 4" body lift with 35s wrapped around 20" wheels.
