    Looking forward to reading more and getting more ideas and advice from all this experience on here. I think next on the list will be retro headlights. Been reading up on it, sounds like a big improvement on a 1st gen trucks. Anyway, thanks for having me. I'm a noon at forums but I'll try and learn quickly. I do already know from all my past reading the search button is my friend. Thanks again for having me. Dale

    Thanks. I said retro was the next mod. Turns out it was plasti dip on all the emblems and grill.

    I should have said a little bit about the truck. Dad bought it new in 1998 he drove the piss out of it to work. 337,xxx and counting. My 17yr old is using as his transportation. When we got it it went down the road like a 3 legged cat. We replaced the rear suspension with ome, not the add a leaf, and the front wire a rancho level kit. And now it rides rear high. Should I get Icons and Total chaos? Or just add a small spacer. All input is appreciated. And in the future were going to add 1st gen tundra brakes and 33x12.50 16s or 17s. What do you guys think? I'll try and add a pic later.
