upgraded exhaust (borla s type)
Cold air intake
Intercooler upgrade like Cobb
Upgraded throttle body
Tune like Cobb
Down pipes
Lights
Front leveling kit

What are your going to be doing with your truck would be the question that directs you to the best options. If you are going to off road it frequently, that is one path. If your going to race from stop light to stop light, thats another path

I won’t be off-roading frequently but there are some fire roads on the regular and other hidden paths. I’m also on the street quite often. What I want is a noticeable difference in all around performance. I want the truck to run easier, smoother, and more powerful then what I have now.

I have
37’
Level kit
Pedal commander

I'd take it offroad stock first before you start spending money on parts. The stock setup is pretty capable no real point in upgrading to 3.0s if you aren't better than the stock shocks and only going a few times a year. Same goes for $2K front bumpers there are all kinds of kits that fit in the stock fog spot.

A wrap is not going to save your paint from trail stripes either.
I do like the idea of upgrading the shocks but it’s so $$$... when off-roading I do push it hard. almost to hard I thought I found out....... power steering went out as I’m making a turn on the Edge of a small cliff... I’ve gone through my 37 in under 20,000 miles.. I want the truck to be more then ready for anything. I really liked the SVC Baja smuf bumpers and how they look. They go for 1,300

Factory graphics. Then decide what to do with the leftover $5k, maybe a couple Rigid lights. You're welcome. ;^)


Yes, I’m looking to have %90 of the truck wrapped in the 2014 gen 1 sand color. Parts of the cab will be wrapped with a gun metal black for a cool design running through the cab. Should look amazing. I want to put some Baja design lights behind my grill by the inter cooler... my worry is that when replacing the front bumper to SVC Gen 2 Baja Smurf add a IC That is much bigger then stock and I might not have room...
