Default Another Christmas Present to Myself.

Thusfar, I have bought the following after being dirt-poor-broke for the past 5 years and saving every red cent I could save (while paying a lot of credit card debt):

1. The truck in my sig
2. '5.0L V8' and '4x4' decals
3. Superchips 1865 tuner
4. K&N CAI (should receive it next week)
5 2" front leveling spacers

Just got the 2" front levelers Friday and they go on tomnorrow.

Hopefully Santa brings you some tires to go with your leveling kit.

Well, don't think I'll do tires ... adds a lot of rotating mass which equals 5lbs of dead weight per 1 lb of rotating mass. Might go a tad bigger on the tires ... maybe taller ... a tad wider, but, not by much.

Thanks Wanted. Did it that way because I made many mistakes and dearly paid for them financially when I modded my previous dragstrip car. I sank SOO much money in to it. I parted it out and saved what little money I was able to re-coup. Been waiting 5 years to do this.

Thanks to everyone. This has been a very long road for me.

Any future gifts you plan on getting for your truck next?

P.S. Nice truck bro!

Gotta' slow down a bit ... guess the only other things in the future are a 3" resonator delete pipe from the merge collector back to the 3" muffler ... get rid of that 2 1/2" section and the resonator. At some point, I plan on a Roush or Kenne Bell TVS 2300 equivalent supercharger ... maybe a forged rotating assembly to push the boost up to 15-18 psi.

Then again, I may just decide to go with a lift, winch, and supension parts ... still undecided on which route to go.

P.S.: Thanks for the compliment friend.
