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.

Hey David, finally got the flares on. I imagine you have looked at a lot of images by now. Since we are running near identical setups here you go. Sorry about any bad pics, lighting is not good right now. PM me if you want some different angles and I'll get some to you when lighting is better.

FYI, these are cheap ass junk flares, but should give you the general idea. Spent a bit on the truck recently and had to go ad-hoc on these to spare my paint job. Will sport them for awhile and decide if I will keep the flare look or get rid of the aggressive offset. Maybe if the flare look is not for you, someone can opine on a good paint protector that can stop debri and rocks slinging off tires at 70 mph from scratching your truck. My scratches are mostly from daily driving, not off road.

Looks nice!! I like how it matches with the matte on the front of your truck

Thanks, it was easy for me since I plasti dipped my bumpers, grill, badges and steps. Did the flares as well. The bill to get all of that professionally painted to match was not friendly and I'm not paying since I would like a diesel 2500 in the future. Luckily I have a black truck so I can get away with it.

Will see if I like the flares. Seemed to me like my lift and tires looked smaller after install. Need to let it all soak in for a few days, but glad the paint has more protection. Time to get out the polisher now and spend a weekend on the truck cleaning it up.

Just to let you know, it only took a day for it to soak in. I was able to get a better look at the truck from various distances and angles at work today and can say I like it better with the flares. Added some more beef to the truck. Whatever illusion I had yesterday that the tires looked smaller and truck looked lower was indeed an illusion.
