on the picture of your center console what are the two 'buttons' on either side of your cig lighter and how easy was he install of your head unit? is there plenty of room behind it for the conglomeration of wires that has to fit back there?

well the one switch is for lights to shine on my floor mats, but I don't really ever use it. And the other switch was supposed to be for extra reverse lights I have so I can flash people who want to tail gate me, however it was never hooked up and I plan on changing the reverse lights anyways to something hopefully brighter. In regards to if there is room for a crap load of wires the answer is yes. I have so many wires back there. There's the Ipod cable, the auxiliary audio cable, and some other wires I'm not sure what they are.

Id say that the three mods I would definately do that would change the whole look of the vehicle would be;

1) PTM Bumpers (you will be amazed at how good this looks and its not overly expensive to do)

2) HBS Level Kit with some new wheels and larger tires (i'd go with black wheels maybe some XD Rockstars and an AT/MT tire like the Trail Grappler)

3) Take off the side steps.

Just my .05 cents...

Pretty much the same as what Cjw02001 said....

Painted front and rear bumpers - Those alone would make your truck look like a completely different vehicle.

Level out the front end.

Change out the wheels and tires. I'd go with chrome. Would look really nice with the color paint your truck has. Go with 33" or 35" tires AT/MT tires.

If you stuck with chrome wheels, the side steps would still look good on the truck.
