Looks good! What lights did you buy for behind the grill? I've been wanting to get some for mine too. I just did the LED swap on the interior, cargo lights and the plate lights. You should do that next. Takes 15 mins. and looks great!

they are the hella freeform, i like them because the only metal to rust on them is the mounting bracket, the rest is all polycarbonate and they are slim--i guess i am not familiar with the led mod:o

Nice ride! You WILL regret getting 285's instead of bigger. I'm in that boat right now. Wish I'd have gotten 305's or lil bigger.

^^ maybe so, but for those who aint got enough money for new wheels or lift kits 285s on a stock level look great, and allow us to keep stock wheels. and tint does wonders for appearence on a truck. i'd go with limo on all the rear windows and at least 20% on the front doors..

Don't worry about it. some things are better when wet

But anyways comment without it being in the gutter, the truck looks nice and you should definitely tint those front windows. Maybe even PTM the lower valance on your bumper?

I had a 98 with that color scheme. I forgot how good they look when all cleaned up like yours.

What is that magical substance that makes the water bead on your hood? Mine does not do that.

Looks great man. Love the lights behind the grill. Hopefully it will be one of my next mods.
