    i've always looked at making your truck stand out, is a bad thing, if you have enemies... lol... but i will get a viper top notch system soon :)

    and performance, how noticable is this crap really, like a good intake?

    how often do you floor it and wish you had more power?

    I got the 4.0L....... i am satisfied

    Have you heard any good or bad about the sky jacker lift? I was considering it as one of my choices the others being Revtek and Toytec.

    I haven't heard anything bad about any lift to tell you the truth. I know a bunch of guys have the Revtek or Toytec lifts. Don't know to many with the sky jacker but a few. I personally have a toytec lift and I think its great! I don't have any room to compare but I love it!;)

    I have had the lift on for a while now, the only issue is every once in a while i have to get it tightened up. There is an highpitched squeak as an indicator. Since I have put on a throttle body spacer and 33's and the truck runs great.

    Stock for me. I consider what I've done and intend to do as accessorizing. Almost all of my driving is done in the city or on the highway with only the occasional dirt road thrown in. The power from my 4-cylinder has always been enough for me.

    I'm not much of an experimenter or tinkerer; stick with what's proven and call it good.

    I'll probably do some exhaust mods later on, when I can round up some more money. :p Still gotta put gas in this sucker though, before mods. :D
