Not sure how deep I’m going to get with this truck, but figure I might as well start a build/photo thread. Plans are to make the truck a bit more tasteful, but aggressive at the same time.
-Chrome delete
-Tow mirrors
-Bilsteins all the way around
-Rear away and panhard/track bar
-Airlift or similar rear airbag helper setup
-Torn, but likely a black wheel setup
-removal of the rest of the stock exhaust
-Laramie/Sport seat swap, adding heated/cooled Seats
-Retint the front two windows and maybe windshield
-Better sound system. The stock 6 speaker setup is dull to say the least.
-Lighting upgrades!
Back story: Been truck shopping for MONTHS, and really couldn’t bring myself to pull the trigger on anything. Either it was too pricy for my taste, or o couldn’t afford to buy Mama and I both different vehicles - my RAV4 was almost finished with its lease, and my wife’s Passat was getting smaller by the day (we have 3 kids).
Prayer, looking, shopping. Wash, rinse, repeat.
Up late on FB marketplace, and ran across this fully deleted gem, with some tasteful mods and a bad engine:
