What else to do?

Hey everyone, quick question for you '95 and similar F250 guys. I have a 1995 F250 extended cab 4x4 off road package, just got the new intake on, re-did the exhaust with Flow-master Super 44, new lights all way around, just trying to think of some ideas for further things to strive for. I plan on redoing the interior in black and camo, dash with some chrome bezel, and glow gauges, any thoughts on other ideas you all have or want to do to yours? Thanks

More/brighter driving lights, better limited slip, locker, lift, new tires, winch, better backup lights, interior lights. I usually run out of money before ideas for my truck.

You have an auto tranny? Shift kit can be had for around $50.

Check out Sonnax valve and tricumulator springs. Cheap and easy.

If you have the money anything's possible. Take a look at your truck and think about what YOU want it to be. Everyone's vision is different. Myself, I can't stand trucks that look like a JC Whitney catalog puked on. My logic is that form follows function. The flood light hanging under my back bumper? Makes trailer hookups and backing up easier in dark areas or at night.

One thing I learned after highschool is, don't blow money just because you have it. Sure, a tricked out badass looking truck is cool, but being able to pay off student loans, having a roof over your head, and being able to afford food are more important. Just something to consider in the future.

The best advice I can give is that what you think is cool at 17, you'll hate at 25~.

Think about that before you tear out your interior and replace it with camo.
