Welcome. You have an LE, but it didn't come with heated seats? :confused:

 

You should get new wheels if you plan to fit 31's. The stock LE wheels are a bit narrow for 31" tires. You should also be aware that you will notice a big performance hit (and MPG decrease) with the larger tires on your LE. 31's are about 10% larger than the stock tires.

 

If you don't like the fake wood, you can contact some junkyards to see if they've got some unbroken interior pieces.

 

You could also try ebay for replacements (even carbon-fiber!), or simply remove the trim pieces, sand 'em, and paint 'em yourself.

 

Lastly, if you start to get serious with off-roading, consider getting rock sliders to replace the side steps. The factory LE side steps are very weak. If you can't afford sliders yet, at least remove the step rails so they don't bend up into the rocker panels. They significantly reduce clearance.

Nice truck. I have always liked that color green. I agree with XPLORx4, if you get new tires you might as well get new wheels. I wish I did, actually I wish I got 31's when I got new tires. Oh well, next time I guess. I would also recommend getting new struts and shock if you are doing a lift. It's a little more $$$ but worth it and you will only have to do the job once. Good luck and make sure to post updates.

Mmmm...We can change the interior trim. I can give you mines, the complete 5 parts. 4 doors side and the central part.

 

I love the original fake wood. :D

 

Here's a pictures of mines.
