Hey everyone. Looks like I have a little budget for truck updates

I was hoping to get some input on my list. Anything I missed, or any recommended products. Any idea on prices? I'm starting fresh here with this.

I bought the truck with 75,000(has 76,000 now) and added an AS 2.5 leveling kit and some 18” wheels and tires.
Everything seems to be great so far, I love it!
Thanks for any help or feedback

$2,500 budget

Exterior ($600, may be more?)
- Paint to match fender flares and door handles. (Price?)
- Get paint buff back to looking like glass, bad swirl marks I can’t seem to get rid of, fun of owning black I guess. (Price?)

Interior ($1,000, may be less?)
- New stereo head unit, something with a large screen for video too, for the kid. (Price?)
- Replace stock speakers with new better speakers. (Price?)
- Full detail, plus clean carpet and seats, doing it myself.

Engine 76,000 miles ($300)
- Oil Change
- Don’t know if the plugs were done?
- New K & N air filter and full intake. (Price?)
- ADDED TO LIST : gryphon programmer

Misc. ($300)
- Needs front brake pads now! (Price?)
- Needs paint touch up.
- Fix front windshield cowl. (Price?)

Here’s the truck as it sits now.

 

Definately would get the engine and misc. projects done first, then worry about PTM door handles/flares and all the other mods on your list.

 

do you have the 5.4 or 4.6?

 

I have the 5.4

 

I would do the plugs first, could end up costing a couple of hundred even if they don't break. Do some searching on this topic, very soon IMO.

Then oil change when at the shop that is doing the plugs (or if you are doing it all).

Fuel filter?

Skip the K&N and spend that money on a programmer like a gryphon to really wake the truck up and correct the speedo/odo for the new tires.

Pads, Thermo Quiet Semi-Metalic seem to be the pad of choice to get better stopping power and less dust.

Headunit, I love my Pioneer 4100 (7" double DIN) and for a hair over $400 and no need for nav I thought it was a great deal with all of its functionality.

That is my list for ya.

Truck looks good!!

 

Thanks, appreciate it! That is exactly the feedback I was hoping to get.
I think the tuner does sound like a good idea. Any good spots to get them?

 

Troyer, VMP, and PHP all provide custom tunes with tuner. Check out the tuning section for more info

 

do the plugs first, if you break them it could end up costing most of your budget.

 

REPLACE THE PLUGS BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE........
REPLACE THE PLUGS..........REPLACE THE PLUGS........REPLACE THE PLUGS

DID I MENTION REPLACE THE PLUGS????

 

My priority would also be plugs and other essential maintenance, then a gryphon (or programmer of your choice).
