Default My 12 Valve

Well i have owned the truck for about two years now and have put a lot of time and money into it and feel like its time to show it off. So tell me what you all think and what you do and dont like and what i could do better. And i get a lotta questions about the lift... I did not put the lift on and i dont keep contact with the previous owner who put it on... so please dont ask questions about it. Enjoy!

What i have done to it:
4.56 gears, studs and o-rings, steering stabalizer(DSS), gauges, tranny pan, all AFC mods.

Plans for this summer:
S300 62/68/14, SDX injectors, 4gsk, timing bump, nice front driveline.

Questions for you guys:
Stacks? I have been thinking dual 7" chrome.
What do you guys think of the two 10" hella lights on the front of bumper? I am not a big fan of them but idk what else to do there.

Im going to be doing some fixer-uper projects this summer on the interior-exterior as because i just want everything to look a bit cleaner so any suggestions in that department are also welcome. The truck has been through a lot and i think its time to retire it from mudding and fix things up.

And by the way this is by far my favorite diesel forum. There are some great people on here so keep up the good work people!

ok sounds like nobody likes stacks. i wanna take thos lights off but then i would have to grind off the tabs that hold them then i would have to paint it but i will never be able to match the color and texture.

Very nice but whats up with the exhaust? Looks like it would catch on something.

So the Hellas are junk? They dont looks that bad. A little big maybe.

the lights is a tuff one then u could paint that whole bar just flat black if some one says something tell them to look closer and when they you bash there head into with your foot and the exhaust i thinke looks good that way but could see how it would catch but u could put it out straight or before the tire hell a hood stack would be better than stacks in the bed it looks great im very jeloues or how ever u spell it
