Thanks, I've got a little more exterior and interior wise but that's mostly What i've done, need to lift and exhaust, cai, etc get it pumped up good, couple more oooo's and it'll be good. Gain some power, sick wheels, and get good tires for my enviroment. I love on the coast where it's wet a ton and rainy almost always. Any ideas?

Thanks :) besides my little dents on my pass and busted mirror, and now gearbox problem, it's coming together nice. Gotta finish my camo and a couple small things I've been doing with paint, and it'll look Real sweet

what'd you do on the diamond plate for paint to stick to the tool box? I bought my black box used and its peeling in places and been wanting to spray it just not sure on it sticking well

You could also consider a 14x3 Filter as opposed to a CAI. Most CAIs draw hot air sitting in the engine bay and the ones that don't are going to run you a sh*t ton of moolah. 14x3s sit right on top of the motor so when idling you will draw in hotter air, but when moving the temps will be identical with a CAI. They also suck in a lot more air than a CAI and most importantly cost a lot less. With all components it'll run $60-70 and if you're worried about mud/debris getting in while offroading you can get a $22 cover that won't impede airflow. I'll be switching over to a 14x3 soon since they look and sound much cooler than my K&N CAI. They look like this if you don't know:

Or you could build the Black Mamba intake that's in the DIY section for like 30 bucks or so...then build a scoop to pull air in from the grille.

That's what I wanna do. :(

But scoops are for ricers and p*ssy lowered trucks. :rofl:

EDIT: You can also make a hood scoop for the 14x3 as well.

I thought you meant connecting it with a hood scoop, I didn't see the grille part.

Nope. Similar to what S&B offered for the 3rd gen trucks that hooked a scoop to the grille in with the intake.

Yeah im not sure, the volant one has good ratings and id want à hood one not just a cheapo. BUT im not trying to spend mucho bucks either. So a fair Priced good cai would be fine. And yeah the 14x 3 does look cool, Hows the install on those?

The cover looks fine too, i just def want to pair a nice exhaust with a intake to help with mpg some and I think ill be sizing down a little on tires, so thatll help too. But I also want my truck to sound good, à bit ago it started soundy more whiny rather then vroomy and I dont approve!

Exhaust wise i know magnaflow is good, dont want a super loud exhaust but good, and ive seen à lot of mangas on 2nd gens and people liking them

Just get a Magnaflow or Dynomax Ultraflow. Nothing else will give you low-ish sound with straight-through performance. You might want a different y-pipe depending on what you have already.
