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 just got 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 on May 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, 6000k Mccullogh 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.

I bought the Viper 5900 SST from here http://www.hookedontronics.com/show_product_details.jsp?cid=38250&brandtype=885 and paid about $225 to have it installed locally (including the module they needed to interface with the computer for the door locks). I've been extremely happy with it, very good range too plus it's expandable with additional modules. Later on I plan to add the battery backup, radar sensor, and window control module as well as some mini piezo sirens in the cab.

Thanks altair I'm definitely going to look into one. Btw, if anyone happens to have a soft tonneau cover that will fit a club cab box and wants to get rid of it let me know I might buy it from you.
