    Hey, long time lurker here. Seems like every time I want to do a new mod I find myself back on these forums! So, I decided to pony up and use this account I made almost 2 years ago.

    I've had my '04 since '06 when I was in high school. I'm 29 now, I'm a student, I work in a small appliance retail store as a mechanic. Anyways, about my truck:

    She's an '04 DCSB. I never really got into modding the truck until 2016. My first mod was the grill guard/billet grill put on in 2013/14 (don't remember exactly). Then 2016 hit and I had some cash so I went with a new Bluetooth head unit/speakers. I was also feeling cheeky and got the wheels and tires. And last year I had a hole in the exhaust so I put a Magnaflow cat back system on it, I love the little growl! Other small mods are the deck-plate intake mod, chrome delete (yay plasti-dip!), LED side-marker replacements, and other interior gadgets. My most recent "mod" was doing the research to get a keyless entry system. I found out through this forum about going to the dealership with the VIN and looking up to see if it was equipped with the box, it was! So now I have a fob and it's like a new truck all over again!

    Being a Northern VA (NOVA) guy, I find it difficult to find any place relatively close by to actually go off-roading. I'm the only one of my buddies that has an off-road capable vehicle, so I'm hoping maybe I can find something through this community!

    Annnnnnd here she is! I love this truck so much I wanna be buried with it when I die!
