I'd have a hard time changing anything on that also. Maybe a system would be a good idea then hahah
On the system I already have the box and the amp. I need to just stop being a lazy ass and install it. 90% of the work is already done, but I can't seem to find the time to piddle with it. I am also worried that 1 10 and 800 watts is going to turn into wanting 2 12's and 2k watts :hmm:
I have thought about 24" TBSS wheels, colormatching the truck and going with a non chrome wheel, stepping down to 20's for better ride and less weight.
All types of thoughts, but it seems like a waste of money when it won't really change the look that much. Colormatching would, but that is a decent chunk of money, when the chrome works so well with the handles and the wheels now.
I'd just concentrate on the system if you have a lot of what you need already. It won't change the look, but you'll be putting your own touches on it and you'll know the system is there.
Yea I am going to get the system in and maybe do some upgrades along the way...nickel and dime it to how I want it to sound. Then eventually do painted bumper plastics. Other than that I just don't see the need to do anything else to the truck.
That tents to happen from time to time, my Impaler was the same way. Went into best buy to get a new cd, found AVIC for it, has some focsls, and a 4 channel amp laying around, decided I should put some rear speakers in and a 12, 12 blew so I decided I needed 2 12s. Ended up being fairly loud (louder than I thought it should have been wit the stuff I was using) but I'm glad I did it because that was probably the last loud system I will have for a very long time.
10/10 would not change the overall look. Cm bumper pads and maybe a shaved gate (if that one isn't) and that's all I would even consider. Tbss 24s would be nice but not sure I'd want them on a daily that I drove a lot.

I think TBSS 24's would look BALLER, but I think it would almost be TOO much on a static truck. This truck to me is the perfect mix of "sporty" without being too much. I drive the truck every day, but I only put like 10 miles on it a day. I just think that the 24's might be TOO much and ride would suffer pretty bad?
The only issue with the shaved gate is that with the bedcover it wouldn't work. I would have to either remove bed cover or get a different one (I have thought long and hard about just taking it completely off because I hardly ever even open it). I think shaved gate, painted bumper pads, and painted mirrors with chrome caps would really SET IT OFF, but I honestly don't think it would make enough difference to justify the money (IMO). Bumper caps are hard enough to find someone to sand and paint...can't imagine finding someone to do the mirrors and the shaved gate.
I want to get the CGM fams opinion on something. I'm going to be replacing the heims soon and was thinking about bringing the bilstiens down a notch since it'll need aligned anyways. Do you all think I should lower the rear any? Right now I've got about 1" of lean. The bilsteins should bring the front down .59"-.75"
Truck looks good dude, call around and see what shops would charge for the mirrors. Got all 5 of my esky buckets painted and my tows smoothed/painted for $300. For the bumper pads, just scuff real good with a red scotch Brite, tape it off and shoot it. Find a body shop to put that color in a can and you'll be set.I feel bad always posting my truck when nothing has changed on it. I just don't see much reason to mess with it, because it looks fine as is. As soon as I can find someone to color match my rear bumper pads I plan to do that and I am going to swap up the exhaust before long. Other than that I am going to drive it and trying to resist putting an expensive system in it.
