flexing a bit

Installed 1.25" SpiderTrax wheel spacers and removed plastic flares, I covered the holes with metal tape

Decided to get a little crazy with the Herculiner

I've gotta say, that's a unique design you went with when you rhinolined. And I'm curious to know why you removed the flares? I think it would've looked great with the flares black and the bottom of the door panels. But that's pretty common. This is different. But I like it. Great start on the lift and tires! Always good to see someone do it right from the get go. Can't wait to see more mods.

Im just not a big fan of all that plastic, and i wanted to do something different, next is powder coat the stock wheels black and maybe some 285/75/16 MT's, thanks

I also want to paint the mirrors/door handles/ and possibly hood black, thoughts?

I like it! It looks similar to what I did with mine. I also did my hood so check out my build thread for some pics so you can get an idea of how it will look.

I'll take the flares off your hands if you still have em.
