New pics in gallery!
I just added some pics of my latest mods: Air Raid MIT w/k&N, XM Commander, exhaust and 2.5" AutoSpring.
Now I need your recommendations for future mods. I have an additional 1600 to spend.
I'm looking at wheels/tires or any other suggestions.....

Thanks for the suggestions, do you have a particular alarm system you would recommend?
I'm considering option 1: tuner with BFG AT's in 285/65/18
2: Eagle Alloy 137's with 315/70/17's
3. Remington Sendero in 300 win mag, Nikon Scope and a nice aluminum case(sold my rifle when I came into the military due to a lack of use)

Yes, definately a tuner ( www.motorhaven.com). Good luck with the BFG 285/65/18. They have been on national backorder ever since they were released! Other than the tuner, only thing I can see making the rig better is a good sound system. Nothing that will make windows shake in the next county, but something with rich, full sound....and a good amount of bass. What did that Westin unit run you? Its a looker.

The westin was 425 installed here locally.
I can't stop "kicking tires" in my head. On one hand I would really like to run some 35's or equivalent, but then again thesee Goodyears have less than 10k miles on them.

If looking at aftermarket alarms not installed by the dealership, you might want to take a look at the two top units from Viper ... with remote start. The top of the line version includes a remote with display ... showing you where the vehicle was tripped (door, hood, etc.). The only use of such a remote (to me) is if it notifies me the instant the alarm is tripped ... which this may do. Anyway, the remote start is a really nice feature if you're in a HOT/COLD climate. Otherwise, it's just for show IMO.
Curious ... what this?

OK dude, truck looking good so far.....
1. Get rid of the seat covers. They gotta go. Save your $ for the Wet Okoles.
2. Bigger tires.... you'll be surprised how much they will accent the front grill you got. I HIGHLY recommend BFG 315/70/17's. Buy em at a Hummer dealer for like $100.
3. Air intake. I have the 40 series too, and you will LOVE THEM when you compliment it with intake. I went with Volant and love the closed box design and sound.

Thanks for the compliments. I know the seatcovers suck, but they're functional and I'm not worried about them getting used and I've already got the Airraid MIT on the truck. The tires are very tempting, unfortunately none of the hummer dealerships around here have them...any suggestions?
Gordo, that's a design that a friend's dad cut-out with a plasma cutter. I guess I just can't brag enough about where I come from.
