I have had my truck for a couple of years but haven't done much. What I have done: 325/60/18 Nitto Terra Grapplers on American Racing wheels, bed cover, nerf bars, Leather Seat Covers from Clazzio, and small stuff.

I am currently on deployment so I have a lot of spare time on my hands. I plan on putting about 2.5k into the truck when I get back. I really would like to upgrade the way the truck should be and I really like the look of the pre-runner.

I am a big DIY kinda guy so I can save money on a most of the work. I want to keep the stock ride height due to loading my motorcycle but plan on leveling it.

Possible Plans:
T-180 stat
Leveling Kit (Already have Hellbent Steel extension not installed)
New Shocks (Thinking Bilstien 5100)
Rear Sway bar (looking for front options as well or worth it)
Paint Front headlights (Black, not a big fan of chrome)
Smoke Taillights and 3rd brake light (night shade paint)
Replace all interior lights with Blue LED
CAI (Volant or K&N)
Tuner (Thinking Super Chips)
Cat-back Exhaust (Gibson)
E-Fan (I have no clue what I need for this)
Possible NFab front bumper
New Grille (Looking for a one Piece Horizontal)
Tint
DIY bedliner (bed and bumpers)
Plasti dip my wheels Black with blue lip
Hemi Graphic on Bed (Like on the Daytona)
Paint Calipers Mopar Blue

I would like recommendations on how I should begin this build or if I shouldn't do something or just left it off:

Here is my truck before I put the tires on. I am trying to find another picture but I am deployed on CVN-77. Here is my other toy as well. The one taking up all my funds so I can't modify my truck.

Welcome to RamForum.

Sounds like a pretty solid build plan you have there!

Welcome to RamForum.

I may have to trim down the build list a little. I think I will go with some performance first and then finish the rest off.

I like the little DIY projects.
