Wheels and bigger tires before paint IMO. But Looks good.

Other thing I may do is just pick up a new set of all terrain tires for the stock z71 wheels & have them mounted right at the shop.

Making some good progress today on the old GMC. Got home late last night from my Vacation to Montana to see my uncle & came home to a pile of parts. Slept off the jet lag for the most part & got to work. 1st order of business was removing the plastic bedliner b/c tomorrow I'll be putting a roll on 1 in. I also had to remove it to make getting the tail lights out easier. Once that was done, I thew on the new smoked tail lights & I personally love them. With that out of the way, I put a Penco Yamaha/KTM racing decal on my window. It's my uncle's work out in Montana, pretty cool place so figured I'd represent his work out here in NY. Then I got the tow mirrors on & I gotta say they look & I love how functional they are. Things left to do: Install cab lights, clean the bed & do the bedliner. Next week (5/7/13) the truck goes for paint. Here's some pics, can't wait to get her painted with new wheels & tires

Finally got the cab lights on, sadly gotta work on the wiring still. Decided to run 4 instead of 5 mainly b/c of my OCD not really liking odd numbers. Bedliner's still on hold too. Quick pic:

Little update on the old GMC. Dropping it off Tuesday for paint, getting rid of the black, going all white. Ordered a set of wheels off tire rack. 17x9 ATX Artillery wheels, 60% off so couldn't say no. Just gonna have to find tires now. Can't wait to get it looking like new!

Well the awesome deal I thought I was getting from Tirerack was too good to be true. Only had 2 wheels left. Instead, decided to get these: http://www.discounttiredirect.com/d...97&pc=23965&counter=2&wd=17&rw=8.5&vid=011637
