Haven't posted pictures since I bought my truck. Installed Maxtrac 7" lift with some Moto Metal 962's -44 offset. ICI Magnum steps and eBay grill. Only performance mod is Magnaflow Mufflex and K&N filter. Stickers on rims are from Custom Offset where I got my inspiration from. c7a4965409d32b2da5591431adb40f2c.jpgf2615c356015f70575e489d9004a283a.jpg8b4b32f0052b5549c47f2d4c15c732ba.jpg9d82ea0a6187be26fe30313ababf9ecb.jpgf93de5ccc16388a9d543cef45b96ad0e.jpg

Nice truck.

You put the hat to block your back plate, but posted a picture of your font plate.

Nice, our trucks are almost twins. Get some fender flares asap to help protect that paint job from that offset you have going. Im running close to the same setup and made the mistake of not putting on the flares. Just ordered some and get to go through the nightmare of trying to correct this mess. Upon close inspection, I have hundreds, if not over a thousand clear coat scratches all over both sides of my truck. Here is a real bad one that popped up a few weeks ago.

Pic 1 of offset and distance shot, scratches not noticeable. Pic 2 is closeup to show you how bad it can get with one monster scratch that just popped up and I have quite a few more!

Do you have pics with the flares on? I don't do any off-roading... it's just for looks. I've thought about fender flares... had some on my previous tundra but worried about color matching.

I just ordered them Sunday, so waiting for them to come in. Bought the truck and it was already lifted with about 15k on the setup. Had some slight marks on the bed panels, but I didn't think of the sling causing it at the time, just figured was from use. The guy I got it from always kept it on the road, so it was not that bad yet. I'm in gravel and sand once a week at least and after 10 months, it has gotten a lot worse, now all over the doors as well. I'm not driving fast in that terrain, but some sticks in the tires and once on the road, anything left is flying off.. Just dawned on me that sling from the offset will wreak havoc on the paint. I didn't want flares, but have quickly changed my mind. Anyone going with that offset should be warned of what damage it can do, wish someone had pointed it out to me from day one. I think overall, I will be happy with the flares anyway and it will only enhance the aggressive look of the truck. Hopefully will have them in by end of week and I'll post some pics.

I can concur on that unfortunately lol. Though mine is white so doesn't show AS bad as on black, I have TONS of scratches and tiny pin dings and even a few chips in the rocker panels. I do not like the flare look at all so I never got them, now if I could do it over I'd get them even though I'm not fond of the look, but it's worth preventing the damage you WILL get if you don't. Here's just a few quick pics of what my truck has suffered. That's not tar or road grime, that's a bunch of tiny paint chips. I got a body project going on with my truck now which will require almost all panels getting shot with paint, after that I'll be making sure my wheels are tucked 45d6a0fd2e7fee612b34d8bf17ad7455.jpg6f72dbc31095e8e1fdeb8e40c5cc7f12.jpg

Correction, that ********* spot on second pic is tar. All those tiny specs everywhere are tiny chips
