Howdy there...
I've had this truck for a few months now and I figure it's about time to beef it up a bit. I just want some opinions on what I should do and where I can get stuff. I don't have endless resources so i probably won't go the lifting route, but definately getting some oversized tires on it and maybe detrimming/debadging.

I put up some pics of it, it's a pretty dang clean truck for what it is. It's a long bed 4X4 thats been driven a lot but very well maintained.

Just lemme know what your opinion is on what I should do to her.

Also, I just want some good looking rims. none of this 20' chrome crap...
I care more about them sticking out and having the oversized look.

Thanks!

sam

The white truck is mine, the z71 is the look i like

Thanks dude, those wheels are pretty rockin. I don't know if I wanna or can spend a ton of money on the wheels. I'd rather invest in the tires, maybe even just some good lookin shiny steel wheels...

Do what I'm trying to do, find a set of wide ass 6 bolt wagon wheels, get them sandblasted and either get them powdercoated, colormatched or painted black.

Wagon wheels scare me... trying to find ones that hols air, and worryin if they're gunna collapse goin over a speed bump. and having them powder coated and sandblsated would probably cost close to what I would pay for some new rims

Procomp has some nice cheap chrome rims. Or look at the Mickey Thompson classic 2s. Everyone has or wants rockstars. They are really cliche. IMO the xd monsters look way better than the rockstars
