okay i just gotta ask everyone.... what is their favorite mod they've done to thier truck?
i think the one thing i can't live without is probably my stereo, after you've got one it's hard to give up. i took mine out when my son was born. it only lasted a couple months, then i put one sub back in, and now i'm back to the full stereo. i can't live without it.
as far as the outside... it would probably be the tires, jumping from the tiny stock tires to a 33 inch tire just made the truck look so much better.
there are lots of pics of my truck on my cardomain site
Exhaust for me too I almost cant bear a quiet stock exhaust on a truck or a V8 gott have some noise especially the look of it dual out the back or sides 2 thumbs up
Spark plugs and wires, then air filter, then tires, then stereo.
Nothing annoys me more is when some ricer comes into my work, they have the body kit, AEM intake, stero, subs, etc, and they cant even afford to put the basics on, such as BRAKE PADS. So many come in all decked out, and have bad ball joints, tie rods, no brake pad left, etc. Annoying!.

Exhaust, no doubt about it. No matter what it sounds like, just as long as it isn't a ricer or stock. Stacks, large tips, or no pipes, I can't resist it.
