    While I have not done any mods., there are a few I am considering. So, if you could do one modification over (because you love it), what would it be and why?

    Thanks in advance for posting here!

    Stereo!!!

    I love my truck, but I REALLY didn't like the stock stereo. I put a JVC+iPod in and then swapped it out for my Pioneer+iPod. I will do it again when I can afford a Navigation system (+iPod;)).

    Maybe I'm Crazy! :crazy:

    I have done quite a few mods, but the still best "bag for the buck" was the factory bed mat bare none.
