Well the things I'm going to be doing are getting a gas tank skid, OEM center caps wholes for M-hubs, fx4 lvl 2 tow hooks, 20% tint, 4.10 LS axles, tuner, headers, and rebuild my transmission and put a shift kit in it.

If I had money to blow I would Get a very low mileaged 5.0 Mustang engine and fully rebuild it and get installed in my truck.

13BT swap or SR20, coilovers and IRS, big brake conversion and RX7 rear end and discs, light 17s or 18s.

Basically turn it into a super low, super fast and amazing handling sleeper truck.

2/3 Drop
LED Tails
Dual HIDs and Fog HIDs
Touchscreen Head unit with Nav
Spray on Line X in bed
Roll Pan (really like what JohnBaum13 has with the hitch hidden behind the license plate)

could do an RB, but that's more weight throwing the weight distribution off. SR20 is smaller and lighter, keeping the weight down and not so much weight on the nose.

Though I would much rather have a 13B turbo and full RX7 driveline. Even lighter and faster.
