Howdy From Silverdale

[mcaje]

Hello from cloudy Silverdale Washington.

 

I've grew up in Southern California but the Navy brought me to the Pacific NorthWest 20 years ago. I live here with my lovely wife and our 15 year old daughter.

 

Well here's my ride. I put the Nerf Bars on this earlier this week. I'm looking forward to getting some cool ideas on a few upgrades from the rest of you.

 

Be talkin' to ya.

Thanks Bill.

 

I really am serious about soliciting sugestions from other members of this community as to some "Conservative" upgrades for my Truck.

 

I am always on the look out for better than OEM replacement parts and upgrades. My Google searches kept coming up with this site as the top forum for just that sort of thing.

Nice truck! Are you going after looks or performance or both? If performance, look into a tune to wake up your truck and possibly get better gas mileage (if you can keep your foot out of it). Well worth it in my opinion.

A little bit of both I guess.

 

I like a nice clean look so the only real upgrades I looking at now are things like dash trim kits or Denali trim pieces.

 

As for performance, I want whatever is better than stock. Currently I am looking at plugs, wires, shocks, exhaust and brakes.

 

I'd like to get some more altitude (even an inch or two), but I'm afraid of spending hundreds of dollars to ruin that sweet Z71 ride.

 

I'd appreciate any proven results-type advice.

Welcome Squidley!!! I was at PSNS from 91-95, what's your rate? You have lots of options for your truck and all of what you want to do can be done pretty cheaply. Ask away about specifics and do some searches, there's tons of info here. Welcome!!

Missile Technician Chief.

 

Been here since '88. I've done tours on the Ohio, Georgia and Alaska.

 

I love searching through the topics looking at what everyone has to say on various subjects. Cool forum!

Thanks for your service, MM2 SW Nuke here. Any questions on mods, ask away.

Welcome to the site.

 

You got a good looking truck too.

Superbee, you sure got a lot of toys. Judging by the list, I'd say you live in hills of Penn.

 

Here in Washington I'm surrounded by water so my toy list looks something like this.

 

1998 26' Macgregor power sailer w/ Suzuki 4-Stroke 50

1996 14' Seadoo Jet boat

1995 Yamaha 700 Jet ski

 

Additionally we have an Audi A6 and BMW z3, but that's rather inconsequential to this forum.
