Actually I was going to, but I didn't want to obstruct my rearview mirror since I plan on towing with it.



My mod list in the immediate future include:


New tires (these are not in that great of shape)

Bigger side mirrors, can't see **** with the ones on it now

Build a custom sub box for my el'cheapo Jensen subs I already have or find a cheap alternative

BIG rubber floor mats

Find some better looking wheels

Alarm w/ remote start/turbo timer & maybe some other bells & whistles

Level it out



Later down the line mods:

Paint matched door handles & mirrors & perhaps some other body parts

A power adding controler like the Banks, Edge, or Bully Dog. I like the new Edge that is scheduled for release in June, it also has GPS & some other goodies all in one unit.

Exhaust

CAI

Maybe a new head unit with DVD player but that will be WAY down the line I'm sure.....got some other things slated for the TA that take priority

I haven't told you this yet but that's a good looking truck you have there. What about a billet grill?

Yeah, thanks for letting me over

Yeah I'll probably do something with the grill, just need to see what all is out there in the aftermarket with these trucks. I don't want it to look just like everyone else's truck with the typical stuff.

Mark I don't see why you can't consider the tech sticker a mod whenever the ricers do. I'm sure that sticker made it a .10 faster. lol...

My truck is slow, but we can line em up to see what they do....you got the weight advantage most likely.

Nice truck. I have a 2001 Duramax. I suggest the chip, intake and exhuast. I have a 4" exhuast and it sounds mean I had a 90 HP bullydog on it and the truck went from a 16.7 to a 15.2. Not bad for 5 minutes worth of work.

Mikey, always nice hanging out with fellow gear heads....especially when you got Matt doing stoppies on the pocket bike, lol.... Don't forget to send me that warranty info, or better yet, just post it up in case someone else wants an extended warranty!
