Default Truck will look better than ever

So I get paid three checks next month because my pay periods just happen to fall that way so I have extra money to spend. I justgot a tail-stripe from klings which is going to be installed Friday morning, May 5th I am getting power locks and keyless entry(maybe with remote start)installed for $300.00 by Ice Truck Works in Waukee, Iowa. Lastly onMay 16th my front and back bumpers will be coming off to get color-matched to the rest of the truck for just under $500. Also I will be switching to Amsoil, so hopefully it will look better and maybe run better than ever. This of course is if everything works out perfectly, I might have to move the paint day back to the end of May if monetary issues present themselves.

Future plans when the money is available are a K&N 63 Series CAI, Factory Cruise Control, Flowmaster or Magnaflow Muffler, removal of exhaust resonators, 6000kMccullogh HIDs, a 180 degree thermostat, and Stage II Jet Chip.

the stat will run you 6 bucks at napa... I have an extra one that I would send you, but I dont know what shipping would be.


AND with the napa stat, you have to mod it yourself to make it fit properly. just by cutting a notch in it to match the original is all.

Yeah this is going to be an expensive month but I will definitely be a whole lot happier with the truck, being able to unlock doors from afar will be nice. I think I might call up ICE Truck Works and see how much it would cost to make it keyless/remote start and just get everything done in one outing.

Yeah I will definitely post pics as things move along. My avatar is kind of hard to see I think it would be better if the lighting was better or the picture was taken during the day but I just took them quickly one night and thats what I ended up with using my g/f's digital camera.

Get a Python or Viper 2way security system with remote start and have it installed. You won't regret it.
