Default I need some help.

I've been doing some mods slowly and I want some new ideas. I've got a rough country lift kit I'm getting bigger tires. I took the lower valence off because it was busted. Now I think it looks cool. Exhaust is in the future. Anyone have any suggestions? And I have a 99 4.2

I was thinking gears but I think it might not be worth it with a v6

What direction are you looking to go then? You know the engine isn't a power house, so unless you want to drop some serious cash on upgrading or swapping that will always be the downfall.

I guess when I hear "mod" I think engine upgrades, gears, transmission upgrades, lambo doors, suspension lifts (I see you have one already)..etc.

You need to have a goal in mind, otherwise you're just wasting cash on a 4.2L truck.

Mostly appearance because I'm not looking for a race truck.

Do the de-sticker mod. One of the best you can do.

Also get some tint up on those windows.

If you are going to 35's gears need to be the next thing you do. I mean put the tires and lift on and see how doggish it becomes and you will probly agree.

Well, she looks mighty good now! Yeah, some window tint, but I wouldn't do much else on ye truck. Your limit is the V6, but I think you still have a great truck!
