some ref would be good, theres alot of opinions on what looks good...

You like chrome? Dont like Chrome? like it Lifted? Not? etc etc.


Also how cheap is cheap, if 20 dollars is what your saying, not a whole lot in the looks department you can do, some but not much.....100 or 200 maybe more options......

What are you looking for, looking good and mudding? looking good on street?

Gotta give us something

A full picture possibly from side, front and back would help to...

Get a Saleen grill maybe, 3" or 6" lift, some Nitto's. A nice bug shield, I like Stampede shields, tinted windows....Theres litterly thousands of options. Look at the truck of the month thread as well as the build section, they all have what they have done to thier truck with descriptions of the mod's.

Do what you like and the heck with the rest of these Bozo's on here......


I think over all you should stick to either chrome or black or whatever your looking for as the theme.....not being able to see most of your truck I cant tell if your grille and bumpers are chrome or not.

Cowl hood looks cool but are worthless, they serve no purpose and cost alot. To get your look for a price you want a decent 3-4" lift would be a start then some used wheels and a new set of 33" tires or maybe even 35s if you want. I would leave your stock pipe but rip the muffler out and put a new one on with some growl to it. Also a cheap bull bar and lights is nice for up in the mud, protects the front end well and gives you lots of light for at night. If you want some performance, forget intakes and filters and all that stuff. Get yourself at decent tuner, for 300 bucks a Edge is avalible to get canned tunes, they help but to really release the beast get a gryphon or 5stat tune.

3" isn't really that much you could get it from just a leveling kit (which lifts only the front). That and an alignment will run you less than $150. Then throw some more aggressive tires on there and it will look great. As far as the grill goes that's personal preference as to which you think looks the best anything over the factory honeycomb will be an improvement.

Good luck with it and I'm sure whatever you choose it will look great!
