I think my truck needs some fender flares of some sort. I really like the look of the oe flares.

did you order the tires online somewhere? and if you dont mind me asking, about how much are they? I'm interested in getting that size or maybe a 295/70/17 soon, trying to get a feel for prices. thanks

I got my 295/70/17 shipped for $680 through discount tire direct through ebay. Delta17 - I'd go with the 295s and save some dough. The difference in size is marginal.

That's a real good tire size for these trucks when they're leveled. Looks good on such a clean truck!

Might I ask what you did with your exhaust? Where did you cut it off and is there any corrosion on any metal near the new outlet? I've been thinking of doing that myself to clean up the overall look.

thanks for the props. I just cut it off in right in front of the muffler. I plan on have a magnaflow muffler welded in with a turn down. I really like the clean look of no pipes on these trucks.
