New Truck, New Member
Howzit PT members, I'm from Iowa but currently based in Hawaii. I recently got back from Japan and as a present to myself I traded in my BMW and got myself a brand new truck.
I picked up a 2016 1500, WT package, Single Cab, 2WD, with a 5.3L
the only part I hate about my truck is the gap in the rear fender isn't covered at all, I saw RoughCountry sells a plastic cover, anybody have experience with those?
A look at my wife's Camaro and my Harley both current projects
I've never been much for show so the look of the truck isn't going to change much, I probably wont even lower it.
I would like to widen the rear wheel by banding the stock wheels (if anyone knows the widest rim size I could put on this let me know), stickier tires, de-badge the rear and side's, try and tint the front chrome grill, and then the usual CAI, exhuast, and tuner at least till I can find a more exact goal.
Any tips, suggestions, opinions would be great since I'm fairly new in the truck scene.

Nice truck I love the dashes and gauges on the new ones. With a white single cab like you you could make a killer sleeper!
Only real tip I have is dont buy a cheap tuner like a diablo or edge get someone who knows what they are doing and use EFI live or HP tuners or better yet dyno tune.
