i got a line-x installed.

list goes like this. pre-key/shackels, 31's, cap or tonneau, wagg bar if i can find one (or a suitable replacement).
maybe a double din nav system. i dunno yet.

once the warrenty is up i might look into a 4" suspention lift. dunno yet.

Yeah first mods for me were my front window sticker as the windows were all ready tinted and then blacked out headlights and after market tails.

Wash, wax, and t-bars.

gts007 09-25-2009 04:40 PM

K&N drop in filter. And unlike what everyone says about them, it actually made a very noticeable difference.

Machine090767 09-25-2009 04:52 PM

license plate covers.

02rangermayhem 09-25-2009 04:55 PM

1-fog light mod
2-exhaust mod
3-06' tails and emblems
4-OHC mod
5-Hella 500 offroad lights
6-285/75R16 BFG A/T's
7-shackles, t-bars, body lift
8-just added 12" Alpine Type-R w/2400watt Rockford amp


you got the t-bars cranked now throw some chevy shackles on there to get the natural rack of the truck back. when you put weight in the bed your truck will sag.... sag = gross :crazy:

after summit 3" body lift...

then some 33x12.50x15 M/T's

after the truck is sitting pretty... do as you please :biggthump

darkeros 09-25-2009 05:37 PM

I installed a Gibson cat-back on my long-bed 3.0 and a K&N intake the same-day.

country346 09-25-2009 07:44 PM

Demudflapification surgery but that was already done on this one, so I recomend Tint, tires, bedcover in that order.
