Like a blank canvas.....

Well everyone, here's my new to me '07 XLT. I love this truck the way it is....but mods are inevitable So far i've decided to darken the headlights, install a 2" AS leveling kit which I'm buying off a member here, and do the Gott's mod. The black side steps are coming off and will be replaced with chrome steps, and I'm in the process of saving some $$ for 18" rims and new sneakers. I'd love to get some opinions on what you guys think would look good on my truck.....but keep in mind I'm on a tight budget, so some el cheapo mods will be first in line
Ok....bring on the ideas

nice truck man.


how much money you looking to spend on rims+rubber? there are some badass deals on eBay right now for the bigger rim combos that come with tires.

Factory 20's and 22's have been going for $1,500-1,800 with brand new rubber.

Some cheap mods would be paint you head lights

Nite shade you taillights and 3rd brake light

Some other cheap mods that look good is window tint and maybe removing your running boards. Looks good, nice to have another Upstate NY member on here.

After having two trucks with 18" rims I'd go with the 20"s. I'm always dissapointed in the selection for the 18's in larger sizes. i.e. 33" and bigger.

Aint that the truth.....the stealership I bought the truck from was supposed to order one for me weeks ago. Everytime I call and ask them about it I get the same line of crap from them...I'm done with 'em. I'll wait until I find one on Ebay....unless any of y'all have one you'd want to part with
I just got done darkening and putting my headlights back together....after I get 'em re-installed I'll be sure to post some pics
