The ride isn't new. I have had her for over a year now. Those tires were on there when I got it. She currently has Continental Contritracts on her and they did great in the snow!

Well I got my CAI in. It is from Spectre and ran me about $110.
This kit is quite a bargain IMO. Directions were very clear and the parts are top quality and fit nicely. Initial impressions are very good. Acceleration seems a lot smoother and quicker while the throttle response seems more crisp and precise. Around 2800rpm she really sounds good with a nice little growl coming from under the hood. I would strongly suggest this if you are looking for a better throttle response and a smoother ad quicker acceleration!

Very nice! Not bad for that price, considering everything you get with it. Even comes with a heat shield!
can't wait to see the progress on this one. The plans look good!

Update:
After 3 tanks of gas, I am happy to report that I have roughly picked up around 1.5MPG with the CAI!
Now last year I sprayed truck bed liner on the roof rack and rear corners:
I liked the way it looked and turned out so today I decided to do the grill.

During:
Finished product with my newly acquired "C" that I have never had since I have owned the truck:
Next week I will be removing the tow hooks and doing them as well.
While changing my oil I discovered something else that will need replaced:

Bedliner on the rear window trim.... I think ifi ts cool with you I'm going to borrow that idea to buy some more time on my sundried trim. Looks good man, glad to hear an update from you!

Of course man! Mine were faded and looked horrible, so I threw the bedliner on there. It looks better in person than the pics.

Just ordered a tubular Curt hitch, wiring harness, and other goodies from thehitchstore. Should be here by tuesday!
On another note,.. on the last picture from post #15, what is that part called,.. I thought it was a bump stop, but the only ones I can find are for 2 wheel drives...?
Thanks!
