Prioritizing mods

First thing I did was add a fiberglass tonneau cover $700 (not shown below)

Then I added a Pioneer Avic Z2 Navigation System with iPod, XM and bluetooth. $1800 self installed. Gonna add the rear view camera, also did the unlock mod so wife can watch DVDs while I'm driving and I have access to all the nav functions. I think it has an 80gb hdd built in for photos and music.

Then I added a bug shield and vent visors. $70

Then I added a 28ft 5500lbs fully loaded camper with slide and 3000W generator $17,000.



My next mod I want is a brush guard and with some powerful offroad lights mounted to it. I'm expecting a baby in Oct so I'll have to add a flip down DVD for the back, fortunately the Avic has rear outputs so kids can be watching a DVD in the back and I can be using the nav/ipod/xm up front at the same time.

I also want to get a cheap, maybe aluminum slanted topper to reduce air resistance when pulling the camper and so i can put bikes, firewood, and possibly a gasoline scooter in the bed.

Eventually a little bit of a lift, not much, just a couple inches.

Cover Your Ass And Get A Nice Beefy Grill Guard Not A Cheapy A Nice Thick Solid Bull Bar!! And Make Sure You Ocasionaly Tighten It Up And Have At Least 3" Of Space Between The Bumper And The Bull Bar!!!

You'll get a little deeper roar out of the AFE dry-OEM type over stock. I'm with you on the $. I figure about 9-10 HP gain for $45 to the door is a pretty cheap upgrade.

 

1 TRD seat covers and floormats, window tint, and mag locks were on the truck when I drove it home.
2 Bed mat, front D-rings, 7 to 4 trailer adaptor, spare lock, & touch up paint.
3 Drop in AFE oil free and removal of the secondary.
4 Undercover tonneau, Westin Patinum bars within a week of each other.
5 Pioneer 4 speaker upgrade, shorty antenna.
6 Cut a piece of carpet for when the rear seats are folded down.
7 TSB rear springs done, Bilstein 5100's all around, front set on at .85" of lift.
8 Fumoto oil drain valve on 1st oil change.
9 Put a hose clamp mod on the tailgate in case tonneau is off sometimes.
10 fire extingisher mounted.

Flipped the spare for ease of checking for the TPM. Deactivated the seatbelt chime, changed the alarm settings, ect. It never ends.
