Run out of mods?

I think I have officially run out of mods for my truck. Anyone have any suggestions that I may be missing?

I've already decided to pass on wheel spacers, and I don't plan on putting any sort of grille guard on the front. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

Since you've got blacked out emblems and limo tint why not go all the way and blackout/smoke the tail lights and get some black housing head lights? I think that would look really nice and add to the theme. I think the chrome housing on the truck looks a little too flashy with all the black you already have and stands out too much.
 
Split the exhaust.

Add a NAV head unit.

Diff. breather mod.

ARB bumper/winch.

I like the idea of sliders.

Then wheel the hell out of it.

I've been contemplating ordering some film to tint my tail lights, however there isn't anywhere that sells the headlamps already blacked out for 06+ models with projector headlights. I'd have to go with reflector headlights to get the blacked out assembly.

I spent a day baking one of my headlights, and opened it up, then decided it wasn't worth the trouble at the risk of messing them up to black them out myself.

CAI, Exhaust, SC ??

I don't believe there is a SC on the market yet for my truck. I think I may have heard of some test runs on them, but that's it.

As far as the CAI goes, I would have to do that at the same time as the exhaust for any real difference. CAI's alone don't really do anything except maybe add 1MPG. So I'll have to wait a little bit until I am willing to fork out $1k+ at once.



I noticed that many of you mentioned head units. I have thought about getting a nav put in, but I just can't bring myself to spend $1k-$1.2k when a Garmin does the same thing for $300-$400.

i feel ya on the CAI wont do much, but to think about how you are just doesnt make any sense... sure you wont see a huge difference immediately, but why not go ahead and throw an exhaust set up on or a CAI and in a few months put the exhaust on? does that not make sense to you or are you one of those instant gratification people?


as for the nav unit... DEF DO IT, yeah a garmin does the same thing, but it also looks like a cheap add on. i spent the money and put a nav unit in my 02, and it makes the whole truck feel nicer (when its clean, which is almost never)

Guess I do like instant gratification. I just don't want to put something in now, that won't do much on it's own. I prefer to put it all in at once. Why have half of the best if you can have the best?

Obviously there is no way to literally run out of mods, since there are technically always crap you can add on, such as Ebay items, neon lights, among other useless, tacky mods. What I meant, is I have run out of mods that I think will go good with the style of truck I have created. Obviously by my signature, I have quite a list. As the list lengthens, so does the difficulty of thinking up new mods.


Does anyone have the exact pricing of a OEM Navigation unit? It has to be brand new.

EDIT: Nevermind, the dealership quoted me $4,400 for the Nav, and if I had them install it I would be looking at close to $5,500.

Sounds nice, any pictures of your enterior?

I never got a PM, unless you meant the ones from a long time ago, but I can't remember if that was you.
