Tonneau cover, maybe new grille ( if you don't like stock one ) exhaust,
tires and wheels, new stereo is good also ..
Some folks like to level a/o lift 'em, the list can just go on from there ...
Don't forget whatever you choose .. PICS PICS PICS ..

yea i say go with the in dash dvd system. they are lots of fun and there are as many mods for that as there are for your truck. as for the passanger watching, there was a forum that discussed this in depth but i dont know how it got resolved.

Depends on what YOU want out of your truck.

I personally would do a tonneua cover, bedrug, and then start into performance parts.

I actually just ordered a cover and bedrug today for my truck. Already have UD pulleys sitting here and am probably going to order some drop shackles for the rear today also.

Depends entirely upon if you want a lifted truck, or a nice city cruising truck, or a work truck to take offroad, or try to make your truck quick.

i just had a Kenwood 7017 in dash DVD and "a zillion other things" player installed in my truck.....

unlike what i have read about the alpine dvd players, the kenwood can play DVD's while the truck is in motion.... just make sure whoever installs yours does not hook up the parking brake lead (shhhhhhhhhh.........)...

it has a nice picture and i have sirius running through it.......

nice unit.... about 1,200 retail... have seen them for around $1,000 on ebay......but i opted to buy it and have it installed by a local authorized kenwood dealer.....for warranty purposes...
