What aftermarket parts helped your truck or hurt it
What aftermarket parts did you put on that wasnt worth it? And which were?
I put a six inch lift on my bronco and it was great until I had to sell it because I couldnt afford gas. Now with my 05 fx4 I am debating about a leveling kit, cold air and 33s. Maybe magnaflow exaust I am getting 17 now? Anyone have personal experience from this?
Any predictions on where it will go with each indivudally or all together?
What did you do that is no longer worth it?
Thanks!

Most will tell you to do the Gotts Mod and ditch the CAI... I have the Edge Evo (bought off a member here) with 33's... Waiting to have the $$$ to turn it into a Gryphon, exhaust and Gotts all at the same time.

Every mod hurt my truck so to speak, but every mod Ive done makes it better. You have to pay to play. I get horrible gas mileage, will probably never be able to sell it because of all the little mods ive done. Its a constant battle, but when its working I love my truck to death. Everytime Im sitting at a stop light and see a little kid just staring at my truck in awe, or getting gas and having someone compliment it makes every dollar and frustration worth it.

Very true^^^ Nothings better than seeing a camera flash, or people breaking their neck to get that second glance.
1. Weapon X coils.... For the FAIL!
2. An 8# lower pully when I wasn't ready for it.
3. Should have gone Ford dana 60 in front, instead of a chevy 60
4. Superchip, and a Diablo chip, instead of a handheld!
5. Cutting off the suspension brackets, now it doesn't matter it's fixen to have a whole new set-up.
Theres a few off the top of the head, that pissed me off.
Good things. C.A.I and LongTubes and you can pick up some more MPG and hp.
Bad things, you'll lose some tq
