I"m staying away from doing any more major upgrades power wise, but changing some things up cosmetically.
My truck is gonna be a bastard for sure. Dropped a new Harley grill, Excursion door handles, 08 mirror caps, and tailgate handle off for white paint. Looking to order 08 mirrors today. My 05 mirrors are going on Danny's truck...
I gotta say...I'm really liking this truck. It did puke on me a couple weeks back.
I was playing with a jackass in a 24 valve for about a 20 mile stretch of highway. I called Doug and he basically told me fuggedaboutit. I adjusted the coolant level to the level he told me to. and haven't lost any since. I was also told I have the old style cap, so I'm gonna pick the newer one up soon. Other than that...it's a really nice truck. Way more refined than my 99.

Hmm, if your doing the interior conversion I wonder if you could build yourself a 05-07 Black KR interior like the new 2011's. Might not totally go with the white/tan exterior look but I love me some black and really not a fan of the tan lol

Your right, chrome is back, in a big way. Go ahead and pull the trigger on the chrome fender trim, chrome visors, and the chrome strip across the rocker panel..........you could even finish it off with some chrome door handles..............
Some factory vehicles come with that vinyl on the area behind each tire. Small section of like vinyl there. Seems like a great idea and would be a life saver on a lifted truck as well. Would definitely save me some rock chips.
Last Labor day, I was at Crystal beach (I think thats the name anyway) and I'm standing there on the beach watching my chitlins play in the water, talking to this lil bald headed dude rockin a chinese import suv.
We where talking trucks and I was telling him I was thinking about selling mine. He said it was nice but to much money for his blood. I was all like, no worries man.
Lemme see if I can remember what all it had done to it, hmmm 4 inch lift with 20's, mbrp stainless 4 inch, first coast egr delete, coolant filter, afe intake, 03 turbo and pedastal, bangin stereo (all that was needed was a head unit, but I was goin in stealth mode), studded, new coolers, new headgaskets (under warranty of course) tinted winders, clifford alarm/remote start. roll n lock bed cover, linex, retro hid's, fogs too. 08 tailgate, (which by the way is for sale if anyone is interested) bilstein resevoir shocks all around. And I really don't remember what else.
And best of all, it was a king ranch.

I just called the sign company down the road. They said it would be a piece of cake and match the white/clearcoat no problem. They need the truck for measurements to price it out. I'd run over there at lunch but I'm ridin dirty in the Tracker today.
