Since this is MY THREAD I've decided to tell you guys MY IDEAS.

1)windows tint tomorrow
2) light bar install within the next 4 days.
3) spray on bed liner and wheel wells(turns out a softball team mate has a cousin who quoted me $500 for both rear wells and the bed)
4) stage 2 RPG kit.

Overall it's alot more then I wanted to spend but I'm getting good value out of them.

Good Start. get you'r self some SDHQ abs/vac guards as well cheap insurance i had a set ordered before i got the truck.

you could always use a bigger amp and sub. that way they can hear you from the outside....

You know, I've never really been big on sound. I mostly have my windows up and AC on. Don't want to be breathing the Los Angeles air if I don't have to. So stock stereo equipment is fine with me.

My first mod was a window tint. I went with 20% in the front and in 2 weeks I'm going 60% ceramic on my windshield.

Then in one month I'll be doing either stage 2 RPG or just big the big one and say **** my bills and do a stage 4.

So I've done a ton of research........

I have zero plans to be an aggressive off roader. No need to go with the rear frame support. I'm more interested in looks. I really like the way that aftermarket front bumpers look. Add a light bar and it could possibly be the best looking mod that one can do. However, I can also throw a set of Nittos on her and add a 20 inch lightbar in the lower stock bumper. Any bumper replacements will be purely cosmetic. So I don't have a functional need for one.

My dilemma:

1) Nittos and a 20 inch light bar
2) front bumper and a light bar.

I love the look of a front aftermarket tubular bumper but I also know that Nittos are a functional and practical upgrade over the stock BFGs

Don't do anything is my best advice. Remember you heard it from me first. Your future self is wishing you listened to me, I shit you not. It's a disease as bad as crack and just as expensive. Mods are like Lay's potato chips, you can't have just one!

If you ignore my warning, then maybe RPG Stage 1 and tie rods...
