Haha, yep. It was on my list when they did the bed, but I held off. After a summer of using it as the family beach mobile and washing sand out of the bed onto the top of the bumper, I knew it was time.

Absolutely, completely off topic... but do you have a Christmas tree up already??
Back on topic: while I can't say these wheels look bad at all I do have a major soft spot in my heart for the alcoas and these do step the truck more into the "modified" look than the "stock/sleeper" look. With that being the case and the coil buckets being sold - when do the coilovers go in

Good eye! Yeah, my wife decided the Christmas stuff was going up early this year and I opted not to argue.
I'm with you RE the difference between these and the factory alcoas. These definitely give the truck a bit more of a modified look which I am kinda liking. I figure if I get tired of it, I can always go back to the factory alcoas down the road. Good catch on the coil buckets. I finally admitted to myself that ultimately I'd just wish I'd gone coilovers, so figured why not just go there first instead of spending more money on an intermediate setup. Coilovers are on the list, but I need to address some stuff with the rear suspension first. That's next on the list.

Good man. I agree on all accounts - especially the not arguing with the wife lol. We've discussed putting up Christmas stuff early this year just due to what a load of crap this year has been, but I gently reminded my wife she's always been the one that has said "lets get through thanksgiving first at least". When she started wavering this year I brought up an inflatable turkey decoration instead which the kids went nuts for and now I'm that guy who decorates for thanksgiving...
I think we all knew coilovers were coming at some point, so not a bad plan to skip that middle step. Can't wait to see what comes next as I love this thing!

Haha, great defense with the inflatable turkey. To be honest, I don't really mind it, and like you said, with the load of crap this year has been, a little holiday cheer was welcome.
Indeed, we all did. I'm still holding strong on staying stock width/stock fenders/bedsides/front bumper. Shocks under the bed also. That setup will handle as much as I plan to throw at this truck. It's far to clean to go flog the piss out of it on a regular basis. I'd really like to focus a bit more on getting a bit more horsepower via headers/y-pipe/tuning, and focus on making the interior as nice as possible via some new PRP's, and a custom center console.

No major updates right now...I did finally get the front limit straps installed. Need to snap a pic of the suspension with it all finally done. Hopefully will get around to that soon. Also finally getting around to swapping out the rear door glass to get rid of the mirrored factory tint. That's happening tomorrow.
Mostly just driving/enjoying the truck!
