Default What to do?

I finally got a white 03 supercrew 4x4

Now I have to make it "mine"... Normally I don't ask for help on what to do to my vehicles but there are just too many things I wanna do all at once but since I paid cash for the truck I haven't got much left!

So far I've got:
new 17x8 ultra rogue wheels with 265/70/17 bfg a/t ko tires
Chrome lightning heads and turns
I'm taking the turtleshell off the bed
I cranked the bars till I ended up with 24" (wouldn't go anymore)

So what else should I do?

That will trash the front end in a hurry, -might want to set aside 5-600 bucks for front end work in the near future. That's if you can do it yourself.

What else ? Iduno, trying to figure out if want to turn it into a pile, or be good to it lol.

Oh well, have fun!

Save for a new engine or transmission. "I haven't got much left" says to me that you need to save a bit before you do anything.

I have a few bugs but I try my best not to spread them, though some people are willing to take the risk .

Those were examples. Just wanting to give the guy a suggestion. He may have an account or budget he puts money in for the truck and is otherwise "well off". Or on the other hand, it could be his life savings and hes down to a few hundred bucks, forgetting or not wanting to think about what would happen if tomorrow his engine explodes and he can't get to work and gets fired.

Deff not my life savings haha my truck and project fund is down again lol. As for "front end going to be shot" I'm within the "safety zone" and yes I can do the front end just fine by myself. Just looking for a few small things I can do to keep me occupied before I put a lift and bigger tires on this spring

Where are you at? I've been looking for a "turtle shell" for my Supercrew, if you're close enough maybe we can work something out.
