I like your truck, but I absolutely hate blacked out taillights. Unsafe, ugly... I like the idea but I'd want clear glass, blacked chrome reflective and low-pro super bright LEDs. Then again, opinions are like kids that spraypaint the tails on their hondas, so what do I know lol.

Not sure if you've done it yet, but the ol throttle body mod is a good engine 02 booster. With a better airbox and flowier exhaust you should be makin' da powahs.

Throttle body mod, Not currently done. Air box, Honestly dont matter much (I have a modified setup on there now). Check out the mad mods episode about air boxes and cone filters/cold air intakes. Exhaust is currently catless with some **** dynomax or whatever garbage muffler. To be honest I think I'm going to keep it mostly stock performance wise and drop a v8 in it down the road. The money I spend on the turd 4.3 just isnt worth it and for that kind of money I can buy a motor and tranny for it. I may do a few more cheap/low cost things just for ****s but beyond that I dunno. Its hard to throw money at a motor thats just so bleh. >_<

Btw the tail lights. Are properly nightshaded. They are plenty visible in daytime and nighttime. So no worries on safety

Too late, Its already on blocks. Plus I bought it like this.

Mostly on hold currently. Moved recently, moneys tight, etc. Nothing major new, Started dealing with a few small rust spots and what not. Beyond that, same old same old.
