I am so impressed with these tires. they have very little road noise and look so sick!

Looks great. Nice tires too!

If you paint your rockers and lower rear quarter panel it may look better

Eventually I'll do the rear quarter tuck and put some armor around the area that wraps the tail lights. I won't do anything to that until then i think


Thanks!

Dang looks good. I like the way the fenders turned out. Those tires are definitely pretty aggressive looking too. You should put some pics up from the side view. Take it easy man.

Definitely looks good with those tires. Have you ever thought about taking off the trim?- might look good. I got my rock sliders on by the way check them out. Time to go rock crawling again haha
