Latest Mod:  Pioneer DEH-P9800BT with Scosche dash kit and PAC SWI-PS adapter for use of the OEM steering wheel controls.

Hello, this page is to show off my truck. One of the first mods I did was remove the stock grills and fit in new billet grills. Then we added a K&N air filter as well as a MagnaFlow catback exhaust. I gotta say that the exhaust and intake had a significant effect on how this truck breaths. Second gear chirps are no problem if you put your foot into it.

I also put in the LED interior lights, map and dome. Then I added a set of Raptor nerf bars. That was followed by a Toytec 3" Lift Coil Kit with Alcan AAL. The kit fits nice and wasn't too difficult to install. The hardest part was finding a proper spring compressor to compress the OME springs. I had to take them down to the local Dessert Rat 4x4 shop to have them reassemble the struts. The coils were too tight to get my spring compressor out of.

To complete the lift I installed MB Gunner 6 wheels with Nitto Terra Grappler 285 75 R16 tires. To help bring the alignment into spec I also installed a set of Total Chaos Upper Control Arms.

I also installed Redline Tuning Hood Struts, got the Elite kit and it looks pretty good. It makes lifting the hood a lot easier, and it is nice not having to use the prop rod.

I have also changed out the dash lights, going from Orange to Blue. Check out page 2, I am always working on it, so check back often. I am currently working on changing the climate controls and it is not easy!

I am working on the performance now. I installed a URD Y pipe. The butt dyno tells me I gained some horsepower, throttle response is a bit quicker and the exhaust has even more of a growl to it without the extra cats. After the Y pipe, I installed a URD MAF Calibrator. I wasn't very impressed at the beginning, but after running the truck for a while I noticed that throttle response is even quicker and it has a pretty good pick up in the upper RPM range. I am going to get a LC-1 so I can tune the calibrator for my mods and hopefully get a little more punch. Pics of the MAF calibrator to be posted later.
