I'm all ears I want to put a brushguard with some lights on the truck. New exhaust soon (I think mine will rust out in the near future) Maybe a lift and new tires?

Tell me what You think I should do.

no brush guard, they look gay. lights would be sweet. some kc's. super 44 flowmaster, ive heard great things about. loose the step rails, im guessing you dont even use them. and loose that bug guard on the hood. whats your budget?

All of the above . and unless you have a bad ass plate you plan on putting on the front I would lose the bracket along with the bug deflector.

K thanks for the suggestions at the moment Ive got about 500 bucks to put towards the truck. I dont use the step rails so If I get rid of those how much could I sell them for? and the plate bracket is rivetted on how can i pop it off?

I got 200 for my chrome nerf bars that were the same style as yours, just got to find a buyer and shipping can be a pain in the ass so try to go local (craigslist). I agree it will look better with out them. I m not sure exactly on the bracket but I remember on my 150 I went up behind the bumper and just cut the plastic brackets that ran through the bumper with a razor knife.

just drill the rivets out. and as far as your budget and a lift and tires, its not going to happen lol. tires alone will run you 500. and depending on what way u want to lift it, it can get as costly as 1600

Thats stretching it even for tires lol. There are tons of little things you can use the 500 for that will make the truck look great.

ok thanks and I wasnt planning on lifting immediately plus I am just gonna wait until the tires I have now wear down before I get new ones. but ya the step bars and plate bracket are definitely gonna come off soon also the way my school schedule is gonna go this year I will be able to work a lot more so more $$$ (yay)

i'd suggest getting new bed rails. some sleeker ones. i took those off, sold them to some dude on here for 50 bucks, then bought the ones i liked for 80. haha.

well if you plan on doing a good amount of off roading them a brush guard would be a good idea

ya I dont really like the bed rails because i'm worried that if I put a toolbox on them they will crack so I'm thinking about getting new ones or getting a spray-in bed liner
