Nice truck! my local guy talks good about those new rugged trails. Tint, re-painted valence, and no mud flaps, would make it look really clean imo.

thanks guys...I'm really happy (and surprised) by how much just changing the tires changed the whole look of the truck...and I hadn't thought about taking off the mud flaps, but now that you mention it...

I got them at Discount Tire (AKA America's Tire) out the door, with lifetime balance, road hazard, tax etc, it was just a touch over $700.00

I would leave the mudflaps if it were me. I'm looking for some front ones to match my back ones because its unbelievable how much mud and shit there always is up there.

I just hate mud flaps lol. It gives a taller appearance to the truck with them gone. And I keep my truck religiously cleaned so I don't worry about the extra dirt thrown up.

I'd either use SEM paint or the Krylon plastic. I've had really good luck with krylon, just take your time and prep it good.
