2006 XL 4.2L V6, automatic, 2WD. Pic is from the day I brought it home from the dealer. Was a fleet truck before I got it, hence the spotlight.

Already installed a JVC HU and replaced the front door speakers. Gonna replace the rear speakers soon. Gotta take care of some scratched/scraped spots in the bed, but that's easy for me.(2 years of schooling in auto body repair)

Gonna get a tonneau, new wheels and tires, and possibly tint.

I just don't know about that... No offense. If you like it, that is all that matters. Just seems strange being a lowered base model xl with flashy wheels.

it's normal... alot of people around here do that they buy the base model and build it up to the way they want it, mostly everybody around here goes lower adds rims a sound system, they repaint the bumpers to match the body and do alot of things to the truck and it ends up looking real good

Looks good. Are you gonna get new wheels or do you like those stock ones? I couldn't stand the steel wheels mine came with.

I'm going to stick with the stockers... they are the chrome clad steel wheels which are the upgrade from your wheels. They are good enough for me as long as they are chrome.
