Well thats everything I can think of.. If anyone has any better pricing they know of please let me know.

As i do things i will update this with pictures and my own how-to's you could say.

thanks.

Any input is great.

 

 

Well you want before and after pics? heheh.. or you want product pictures?

 

all of the above

 

Ill go get themm.. heheheh and im off.. brb with goodies for you okay?

 

THere are some pictures for it now but nothing as to waht i have dont except for my system.

 

Just me, i would leave off the brushguard and the headers...

brushguards I'm not a fan of, and headers IMO aren't going to do much w/o other mods (supercharger, etc)..not worth the price anyway.

and I would get an sctlivewire instead of a tuner and scanguage.

and DEFINETLY do HIDS, and scratch the KC lights, just get HID's with hi/lows...you won't need the KC's. All mine have broken (the offroad lights) and IMO dno't look that great

 

sounds like a nice truck. looks like some good upgrades you have picked out there. what color is your truck? lets see some outside pictures

 

What do you recommend for HID's?

And on the other things i will surely look into it. I have heard headers can help alot with all the other upgrades??
Minus the s/c


Here is some pics:









there you go.

 

6000k HID's, just look on ebay, I bought mine a LONG time ago so I'm not up to date.

IMO, keep it as stock as possible.

 

Are you doing anything with the interior??

 

ooo like it, i would slap some tint on that baby. 5% all around is on my to do list

 

Hmm not really i love the FX4 seats already and the guages.. i really dont know what i would even do with the interior???

Why keep it stock??

thanks.. Hmm i will thinking limo tint or something.

 

Just don't do anything you might regret. Speaking from experience. Sometimes it's LESS that makes a vehicle more. I odn't like all the brush guards and window guards and running boards, etc. I like tasteful mods (not saying yours aren't), but I learned that money is best spent on suspension and wheels/tires. I ended up taking my engine mods off because they weren't lasting as long, for example my pullies started to squeak and howl at idle, even after a new belt they wouldn't stop. I am stock now and no noise what so ever. Same with efan.

For my next truck, it's lift/tires/wheels, bed (maybe linex) toolbox, exhaust intake programmer...thats it!

 

I see.. well thanks for the advice on the pulleys cause i do live in a fairly wet place where they would take alot of wear in the winter.

 

Good luck getting that passed on Safety. Utah is retardedly strict on tint. Mine on the Jeep measured at 37% and the limit he said was 42%. 37% is so light its hard to tell its even tinted. Freaking Utah.

 

Are you crazy! I would do headers in a heart beat, its like getting a tuner, almost the same improvement.

but i do agree with you and the brushguard

 

Wow i have never heard utah giving huge hassle.. good thing i have a nice mechanic haha.


And yeah headers i hear sound great and do great.. My question is do those bolts ever break and is it a simple swap?

 

its not simple, and ive had one break on me. if you have a body lift its even easier.

 

Yeah No BL for me im twin stick dont want to deal with extentions and stuff lol


But you said take off the tire and the inside fender well right?

 

The level 2 twin stick setup is a true PITA with a body lift so I don't blame you for not wanting to do a BL on that truck.

 

Yeah so i hear so i am stay with my stock height which is well not that low anyways..

 

any new mods?

 

The ever so lovely ziptie mod haha.

Right now I am looking at buying a scan gauge for me truck and

am looking for a good site to buy HID's cause i dont want to get cheap ones.

 

what did you ever do to your tcase shifter to get the boot to work?
