All this and a whole bunch more that I can even remember

My truck was 100% stock when I bought it. Everything mod I've done was done by me (see my build thread for all of them). A lift will be in the future.

She was bone stock when I got her except for a Drop in K&N filter.

Since then, I've upgraded the Stereo head unit, and installed a 10" subwoofer with a custom "temporary" mounting bracket. (I call it the MacGyver special, except it's an aluminum rod with straps on it, not paper clips and bubble gum.)

Blue dash lights, XM satellite radio...

Under the hood I installed a Cold Air intake with a custom fabricated heat shield. (It's still fabricated even if I did it with tin snips and a hammer lol)

Outside: Clear corners, black bowtie.

Soon to have: New Zealander style Brush Guard (thanks to Foxxie) and HID's... thinking about some custom tail lights now and some of those little annoying fog lights for the brush guard to piss the neighbours across the street off even more.

god almighty, your truck must be a damn beast on the street and in the mud, is it automatic or sticky?

show pictures of the new zealander brush guard? i may be interested to track one downnn

I bought it all stock and since I have no money to spend on her, she's staying stock :(


She might get a new speaker this winter, if time and money permit

Shes a stick.
I dont do mud unless I have to.
Dont do pavement much either,Lol. Shes a trailer queen. I climb large rocks. Thats my thing

was stock when i bought it @ the end of last year.

have installed the "Bling Bars" (for my daughter), the hitch & wiring harness-which is funny, 'cause the truck was bought with the tow package new) and the brush bar i just picked up. i'd like to lift it, but i'm worried about losing the stability of it. oh yeah, i added a set of 1st gen 5 spoke aluminum rims to it, for Winter rims, but plan on doing a "rim resto" on them in the Spring for my "new" Summer rims.

bought mine ofr $300 off craigslist. tons of stuff wrong with it.

in a nutshell. cut the roof off, caged it put fullsized ten bolts under it and some 33inch boggers.

the day i brought it home
