Bentley, I have 0% on my credit card for the next few months so it wouldn't make a difference if I bought it now or in July.
Pictures as promised.
I'm really happy with how everything sits. They stick outside the mudflap a smidge on the drivers side and are a smidge inside the mudflap on the passenger side. But they make the truck feel much more planted

It's 20% 3m tint. I love it, my service truck has no tint and it feels like a fish bowl. No privacy. I have only gotten pulled over for it once (Illegal in NJ) so it's still worth it.

No. I had it done at a local audio shop. Cost 75 a window.

Wheels really help the truck stand out. Looks sharp. I like the tint as well. May have to get that done in a couple months.

The steps work fine, I had thought about the nfab steps but I like how it sits now color wise and the only reason I would've switched would've been to black them out. Or potentially AMP steps, but they're a LOT of money so who knows.
As far as the fender badges, there isn't much chrome there so I don't necessarily know if you'd notice them much more. but it's only plasti dip so I could always redo it relatively easy.

Truck is looking great Justin with those wheels. Personally I have to say the grille is a little weird it may be the blue that it came out to be but I am not sure.

I love my AMP steps worth every penny IMO, makes the truck look taller and compared to the steps i was going to get is was only $200 more and they fold out of the way. It's personal preference though, i like how the bottom of the truck looks without steps...except the goddamn pinch weld but that can be solved with some PMF pinch weld covers

It seems that I can't get rid of these AT KOs if I try now. Ran over a nail day before last and of course it wasn't repairable. So now I have 2 at 6/32 1 at 15/32 and 1 at 13/32. I was intending on using the last one that I had to replace as a spare to replace the LRC I have As a spare now, but at this point in 10k miles I might as well just buy 2 more BFGs

I've never figured out how two people with the same basic truck can have such radically different experiences with the same tires. I've had the current set of BFG T/A KOs on the truck for about 30k miles. I should easily get another 20-30k out of them before I have to replace them.
I tow, I don't baby my truck, I don't even rotate the tires as often as I should.
