First wave of parts just came in. Nothing serious, just a few LEDS to start switching the halogen lights over too LED. I’ve had good luck with the JDM Astar brand. The ones on my last truck lasted for over 2 years. These are reverse bulbs, 3rd brake light cargo lights, and tag lights.

As as far as exhaust goes.... I want it to party when I romp on it, but be chill when I’m cruising. I thought the last set up was just a little to chill.


It may be. I haven't priced installed lift kits yet. I'm a big DIYer, but that may be more than I want to take on in a driveway. Lol

My setup may fit the bill then. On cold start it's fairly loud, then it quiets down to a point you can hear it a fair distance away, but not crazy, no drone, but when you get on it it's fairly rowdy. You could always just delete the muffler entirely and keep the resonator, might cost $60 for a shop to weld in a piece of pipe. My setup was about $100 installed. Here's a video of mine if you haven't seen it.

This was one of the first ones I did to mine too. Mine had LEDs everywhere except fogs, plate lights, vanity lights, and in the console/cubby (still haven't messed with those). If you swap the vanity ones, you'll want to warn anyone that goes to open them at night. Lol

im also a big dyier. But i also know what will be over my head. I think the lift kit will be. I’m shopping around for the exhaust. I want to do the lift first so that is kinda my main priority. I don’t think I’m swapping the vanity lights out. My cubby and console lights are also already led. So it’s really just those lights that I purchased for now that I need to swap. I’ll eventually do the blinker lights and all that once I get the forscan dongle.

thanks man! I can’t wait either! I need to get the money together. But I want to go all out on this one. Thinking about having lift kit components powder coated.

Now I'm jealous. This is one of my two regrets....One being I wish I would've gone 8" and the other is I should've powder coated my lift. What color are you thinking?

i feel like I keep pushing my timeline back for the suspension but I feel like it’s the little things like that I need to focus on.

It's like christmas! My Husky floor liners are here, My AVS seamless vent shades, and my auvovo anti dust mats have also shown up. Once it stops raining I will detail it up and get everything installed! These are things i consider essential... Although the auvovo dust mats were kinda an impulse buy, but for 40 bucks i figured I'd give them a shot.
