The only mod I've done lately is putting gas in my truck.... on a strict budget over here.


I agree though - change the trans, diff, t-case, p/s, and brake fluids - as well as the oil. Change the air and fuel (of course the oil filter too) filters. Maybe add a green tree air freshener too?

Jbl is good enough for me on all accounts. I run a jbl head and 6.5"s in one of my boats and I love them.

So your Dads in the Car Stereo Business, but you do not know DINs or decent brands... Better Budget for an electrical catastrophe...

Jbl are his favorite he never had trouble I have always had trouble with terms and remembering what they mean but once I was refreshed on what it meant I remembered immediately what it was. Oh one more thing he has never had an install go wrong electrically in over 30 years so I'm certain I won't have electrical issues

most important is keeping it running reliably.

There are a handful of common wear issues to watch out for


After that IMO, is how much enjoyable it is to drive
A clean , nice interior with good stereo that works with phone and backup camera contributes here


If you have original intake manifold...your on borrowed time.
