Okay, I have not done anything to my truck in a while and it is starting to get boring with it just being the same thing! I can not leave things alone. So I want to do some small stuff or start saving for big stuff, yall decide.
What do yall suggest I do? It can be Interior or Exterior, and Here is some stuff I have thought about ,ut yall can recommend anything.

Start saving for motor/tranny etc.. or

Buy used motor/tranny and start building

Kinda wanting to convert everything to Leds in interior and signals and tails and brake lights, etc..

Shocks

Paint interior?

exhaust work

charging system upgrade because of my sub so i can run efans.

tint

cowl hood

Maybe some paint work in interior, under carriage, or underhood??

Just recommend some things. Here is how she sets now.

 

How about an HID retrofit? Night-and-day difference at night looking from the driver's seat.

haha sorry but my hid's are staying. Im not gonna do a retrofit. A retrofit and a lightbar are the only two things i wont do.

 

Well, if you don't wanna chitcan the disgusting, crappy PnP's, then at least paint that disgusting, rusty front crossmember, ASAP. Man - that's like lookin' at dirty sneakers + Armani

BTW - you can run efans with the existing charging system if you perfrom the ground upgrades, buy quality fans, and more importantly, use a quality variable speed controller.

Y'all savin' that front plate holder for posterity?

*EDIT* - oh yeah, and lose the side steps - work on that ol' upper-body strength, lol.

how bout some depo fogs, possibly nite shade on the tails, removing side body moulding, or just tinting your driverside and passenger side windows to match the rears? Just a couple of cheap things that would finish her up! Truck looks great by the way!

 

And LMAO @ 'missin' werd'.

OP, ye work outta that toolbox, do ye? If so, where ya keepin' the step ladder to get into it? If not, can it. That alone will hep the looks of your truck a might.

And please, for the sake of other motorists everywhere, do lose the PnP junk. I can only imagine the ridiculous glare that is compounded by the height of your headlights.

 

An idea for the electrical system so you can run e-fans and your System would be many things. What I am doing to my 03 screw in a few weeks is doing the "big 3" upgrade and adding a capacitor. A capacitor is highly recommended for truck running e-fans and a system. It's easy to install and you can get a good on sonicelectronix.com for about $100. As for the big 3 upgrade, it's moderately easy to install and can get kinda of pricey. Could run anywhere from $100 to $350. You can also buy complete kits. The big 3 upgrade consists of upgrading your under hood wiring to 0 awg wire. You run 0 awg from battery positive to alternator positive, 0 awg from battery negative to engine block ground, and 0 awg from battery negative to chassis ground. Make sure you sand off any paint for the chassis ground. And also solder the wire clamps on the wire, don't crimp them. You could also run 0 awg from your battery positive to your audio capacitor and them drop down from the capacitor to 4 awg wire and run it to your amp. That's what I am doing to 03 screw when the e-fans come in. I'm getting the engine and transmission e-fans from troyer performance. About $1000 with shipping. Hope this helps!

 

Save yer money on the cap. The largest cap you can buy cannot store enough energy to survive even one efan turn-on inrush. Mostly marketing BS, I'm afraid...

Stout wiring, sound wiring practices and a quality, healthy battery are all good ideas.

Okay MGDfan and everyone else. I DO have to upgrade the charging system to run Efans because of my system. I am running a 1500watt rms system at 1ohm. I done the big 3 In TRUE OFC 1/0 welding wire and all the power and grounds are True OFC 1/0 welding wire. System is a Sundown Z v.2 12 wired to 1ohm in a 1.8 cubic ft box tuned at 32hz powered by a Sundown Sax1200d. I am an audio nut and trust me, even to run anything else electrically, I need to upgrade the charging system.

And yes, Retint the tails with clearcoat and 120smd LED backup lights, Tint front windows, Brow over the front windshield, and Painting the undercarriage is on my list. Keep adding suggestions!

 

oh and trust me I know a lottttt about audio lol so yeah a cap will never be in this truck. and I am still thinking about some depo fogs also.

 

Alrighty then - why dint yall say so?

I guess I'm sayin' - the upgrade would have been prudent to do as Job 1 along with grounds as a Foundation for such a system. Proactive rather than reactive, so to speak. Priorities?

That puts the charging system at the Very Top of your list, bud. Right after painting that crossmember!

Ditch the Supertuner and install a double Din DVD unit

 

Ahhh.... but he's an Audiophile

OP - nice beginner system yall got there. For myself, I've only been involved in audio for ~51 years... so yeah, I'm a n00b

Hiya Red! Long time no chooot-da-chit !!!

 

haha yeah there is thing called money that isn't the easiest thing to come by. I got most of my stuff at really good deals and planned on upgrading the chargin system then I had a hit in where I get my cash from. Just now starting to come back in. Im far from a noob as you are( MGDfan )too. If I do installs, I do what there budget allows and at the time my budget allowed me a single din which can also be a thing on the list. Best I remember, I asked for ideas or suggestions which you are giving me, but you can cut the nonsense bull about judging my system and give me an idea on how to make it better if you are so good. I do feel bad that I just passed up a JBL MS8 for 200
