    I have a lot to learn about them and look forward to chatting with people here. First order of business is to buy an intermittent wiper switch and swap out the regular one since that will drive me crazy! Any other easy upgrades I can do?

    Thanks!

    The perfect truck! As long as you don’t care about acceleration, towing, and speed like me. And I’m not being sarcastic, I regret getting rid of my 5speed 4x4 constantly. Enjoy it! If you like bigger tires, look at regearing, it’ll be the only way you will ever use 5th gear again.

    Welcome. Bilstein 5100 front shocks at the first height setting levels the truck out. Get rid of the stock stereo, and drive it! Heavier wheels and tires will adversely affect acceleration and mileage. Get some used alloy rims and the lightest tires you can suited to your terrain/ climate/ driving style. I went with E rated 215/85r16s as i didn't want any more weight or ground clearance, but wanted tougher tires. LCE header is the best performance mod, but a bit pricey ($500).
