It's a nice little truck and I'm hoping for good gas mileage (still on my first fill-up). I'd like to do some little things to improve it, like a better stereo or stronger antenna for out here in the country, some simple pinstriping to dress it up a bit, and possibly slightly bigger tires when it's time to replace these. Any suggestions?

I will not call it a "taco". Here in NM that's food!

TTFN,
