So, guys... I signed up awhile back but never had the chance to really post much. Anyways, I have pics of my truck in my Album but here's a list of things I'm looking to buy soon. What do you think? Since I've been back I've also done a few things as well..

New Stuff Done
1. Blacked-out Headlights w/ 6k HID's
2. All lights outside & inside are LED now

New Stuff to Buy
1. Edge CS Gas Evolution Programmer
2. Banks Ram-Air Intake System
3. Banks Monster Single Exhaust System
4. N-Fab Cab Length Step Bars
5. Rancho Suspension 4 inch Lift Kit w/ RS9000 Shocks
6. XD Series XD796 Revolver Wheel 18x9
7. Toyo Open Country Mud Terrain 35x12.5

Good to hear you made it back, now its time to spend that deployment money I guess.. One thing im gonna recommend is to NOT get the edge programmer with canned tunes and upgrade yourself to a Gryphon programmer which is pretty much the same thing but get custom tunes cause your gonna be putting on a Cold air intake as well as a new exhaust.

Sound's like a great plan to me. May need custom tunes for the intake is the only thing I would check on. Welcome back from Uncle Sam's travel club! Thank's for your service from a Vietnam Era Vet.

Thanks guys.. & your Welcome!!

So, I have been looking into the Gryphon from PHP and it seems to be the better choice since I do plan on running a CAI & Exhaust.

Here's a pic from when I first picked my baby up...

Welcome back!
Nice looking truck!
Thank-you for your service!
Hopefully you consider custom tunes for the edge CS when you get that CAI?
