Ideas

Looking for upgrade ideas for the truck. Looks like the wife has made her mind about me keeping the truck instead of upgrading to the 4door for the kid. So I'm open to ideas I.e. lift tires rims etc... what I currently have: bed lights uhwms with badlands 12000# winch and wireless remote. As far as lift goes I would like to not have to cut and weld would like 4" and 33" tires. So with that said boys and girls lay it on me. Budget isn't a issue

 

There's a whole forum of ideas.

You should look around a bit more and see what you like, I don't see much point in having others tell you what they like. Browsing can't be that difficult to do, can it?

Spend an hour in the Builds subforum. Spend an hour in the Suspension subforum. Put in a little effort.

 

I have been doing that just looking to see what everyone else is doing feom dif parts of the country.

 

Different regions have different needs. But if that's what you want, starting it upstate NY and going clockwise around the US.

Snow plow.
Mud tires.
Fishing pole holders.
Long travel.
Camper shell.

 

I have yet to upgrade my suspension but ive finished up with all of my exhaust work. Runnin flowmaster duel exhaust (cat-back), Doug Thorley headers (shorties), and an AEM brute force CAI. Planning on getting a unichip PNP soon. Doesnt sound like a prius now

 

Is it really possible to spend just an hour? Lol.

 

^shells are sick. This geographical template is spot on.

 

No, you going clockwise are long travel. I got hit with shell. I am not a shell fan! But with the rain they can be useful.

OP I have some links in my sig for what I've done for ideas. But no one can tell you what mods are right for you.

 

Kid in car seat? You'll change you're mind to a double cab real quick.

 

Get a shell and put the kid in the back, with the dogs.

 

So you made me curious - what's your plan for the kiddo? Just to use another vehicle to transport? A carseat is tight even in my DC - there's no way it's possible in an AC.

That being said, I'm more of a practical guy. With a new family, I'd start thinking about cargo options to carry around stroller, supplies, etc. - you know, baby things! But that's me being my silly practical self.

 

The wife made the decision??

 

Supercharger!

 

Seat covers! Kids will leave a mess of the back seat.

 

Exactly what I was thinking. PW

 

You are gonna wish you had 4 doors every time you get the kid/kids in and out. You don't have to have them, but its a major convenience.

 

Having kids is a major inconvenience.

 

( major inconvenience = pain in the ass )

 

You can call it whipped if you want but have two zero balance due vehicles and no real need to start a new loan when her vehicle works for what we would need. Didnt list it in op bit I already have the cap I was against it at first because I've never had one but moving feom nc to ny it was a great help. It does makes sence for me not to get a new truck.

 

Its paid off, so that's just being smart with your money. If you can get by with it, it's saving you more money the longer you keep it.

Mine is paid off, and we have a little left on the wife's Dodge then I am going to attack the mortgage hard and eliminate all my debt in the next 3 years. At least that's the plan.
