Next upgrade?

Hey guys, I haven't been on here in way too long. I'm just wondering if y'all would give me your opinion on what my next upgrade should be. I was thinking either tow mirrors, led light bar, new headlights (harley style), or put some money into some 265/75/16s. I'm not sure which to go with, and of course the tires would be most expensive. I'll post pictures tomorrow since I don't have any good ones at the moment.

Looks like she needs bigger tires first. But your truck would look really nice with clear lights. Tow mirrors would be sweet as well...

Come to think of it, just buy everything you mentioned.

a wash would be a good idea, take that dang chain off.

if you need new tires, get those, if not, get headlights.

I say headlights cause they're cheapest and would still shake the look up enough. I like the chain though. Tires only when needed, chord the current set!

I think the Harley lights would spruce up the truck a good bit, as long as you darken the fogs, as well. Clean, clear (non-foggy) lenses can make or break a truck's looks. And yeah, that chain is making me nervous. Great looking truck, not trying to bash.

If not the lights, I'd do the tires--it'll add a new look to the truck

Learn to use Remote desktop into your home PC to get around that!

OP - next mod should be getting rid of the chain.

Knowing my IT, they probably have that blocked as well. I could use my phone, but it has been a POS lately.

Tires > headlights > light bar.

Unless of course you don't need new tires yet. Then tires > headlights > light bar.

I'm mixing work and pleasure--looking up parts/fixes here for customers on a rainy day at work
