yea possibly, ill just find a way to block em off so i dont have to worry about it. plus, all the guns that i would have access to anyways have a 50 ft. lb. torque limit so it wouldnt really be enough to strip away bed liner like material. itll be easy, ill just drop some pop bottle caps or some **** down in there to keep em clear.

^ Wow! Those are crappy guns! Generally a 1/2" impact gun is used and all the 1/2 inchers I've used had at least 250 ft/lbs on tap. Also watch what you drop down there. I've sprayed bedliner and it might be a little bit of a bitch to get them out afterwards.

get a set of american racing rims....they look good on any truck
but seriously, that looks HAWT! i personally like the white lettering out (on an offroad truck anyway)
if you want to be a real bad *** off road, get them in 15's and get 33x10.50 bfg all terrain ta k/o tires....

i had them on my 4runner, with no lift, no rubbing, 20mpg average and i NEVER EVER got stuck, and believe me we tried! wish i would have had a better camcorder then, we could have gotten some sick vids

^ yea dude no matter what i do i want to get a set of bfg's i had the all-terrain k/o on my jeep Cherokee before i got my allroad. those tires are SO sick. i live on the beach back home, and with no lift and pretty much stock tire size (one larger) i hardly ever got stuck int he sand, those tires dominate. the snow too, hard chains with me at all times when i went to the mt. but never had to use them. 33's would be sick, but thats why i was also thinkin about just gettin a set of stock xterra 16" rims, do the stealth job to them, and run the 285/75/16 bfg all terrain's.

and funny u say that, cuz i typically dont like white letter out, BUT, the more and more i look at the cheap-o lil p-shop job i did, i think it would look cool with black wheels, white letters, and white rig. im startin to change my opinion
