If you do the outer portion in tan, I'd do the inner portion in black for some contrast. Or just do it all in black, but I wouldn't leave any chrome on it.

I was thinking of painting the surround portion black and the bars (of a 6-bar grille) the Adobe color. Make sense? Easy enough to do... It's just a 2 stage shoot.

Ooooo..... An Adobe surround with black bars would be slick as hell, too! Good eye, Peetz!

That WOULD look sweet as well! It would definitely add a unique touch. I'm a such a sucker for something different... LOL

This, with Harley (style) heads and tails. But getting PTM mirror covers should definitely be first, or removing the chrome caps if possible

Have to agree with Dewser, give it a shot. I'd turn the white lettering around to the inside on the tires, remove 4x4 sticker, heads and tails. Not sure if you are tuned but definitely explore that. I'd play with some plasti dip and if I liked it I'd have the rims powder coated in the same colour. I saw a good tip somewhere about trying out a colour on the rims and that was to use duct tape to get an idea what it might look like.

Truck looks great the way it is. Less is more! Only thing I would do is add a pairs of step / nerf bars that are painted tan to match the truck. I wouldn't do the grille like others mention. I like the body parts to look stock. Lariats, XLTS, etc were meant to have chrome grilles.
