My recent upgrades

Well, the tax return came in so it was time to promptly spend it all on my truck . Some of you might have seen my previous thread on my 08 mirror upgrade and I have now added a set of new wheels and tires.

The truck when I got it:



After the mirror swap:


So thanks to 96grimreaper's build thread, I decided to go with Method's Double Standard in a 17x8.5 and I've got a friend who works at discount tire so I got the wheels and a set of Nitto Trail Grappler M/Ts LT295/70/17 for about $1500. So here's some pics of those:






Before:


And After:


Definitely changed the whole look of the truck. Never seen a set of wheels balance with no weight needed before but two of these did. They said that happens rather often with the Nittos.
So if anyone's interested, I've got the oem 04 tow mirrors and the stock wheels with a set of Cooper ATP's LT265/75/16 with only 6000 miles on them. Send me a PM for details.
