Yeah, I've actually looked into those too. I've heard good things about both the STTs and the DuraTracs.

I read a ton of reviews on tires before I bought and the coopers had the best reveiws and were a much cheeper option compared to otherea. I paid 172 per tire on treaddepot.com and 100$ shipping I think

Not to shabby if you ask me

Today I am removing the side moldings and removing all the Plasti dip. I am then going to use spray on bed liner from the pinstripe down all the way across.

Looks good, i think doing just the rear quarter and lower part of the doors and rockers would have looked better but the pinstripe would have looked out of place.

What bedliner did you use?

I used Rustoleum spray on bed liner. And I had just the rear qtr panels and bottom rockers before I did this, only I did them in Plasti dip.

Here is a before picture of how I had it with the Plasti dip. And the pinstripe did look out of place.

And to everyone that is going to say just use the magic eraser wheel on the pin stripes, I did and the pin stripes are actually under the clear coat so they wouldn't come off. I used to eraser wheel on the residue left from the side moldings though and It worked great.
