If you take the chrome off isnt it going to sort of ruin the "chrome scheme" you have going on this truck?

 

K&N air filter/ or the whole system

Change youre oil on time.

Chrome brushguard maybe?

..

for the 3 inch are you wanting to go with a body lift? or blocks/torsion keys?

Nice looking rig! I had a couple of 01s before my 08.

 

I'd say just ditch a little bit of the chrome and pick up a set of flares for it. I'm not into heavy modifications though, so that might be too mild for your taste.

 

Either way, nice truck!

everyone has there own tastes, i would either go all chrome or no chrome.

Personally, I'd get rid of all the stick-on chrome (handles, fender trim, rocker panels), de-badge the doors and tailgate, and get some different tails.

 

EDIT: By the way, welcome to the site. :ughdance:

hey thanks duckhunter. im not into real heavy stuff either. but i wasnt too sure about the fender flare thing. the running boards are comin off for sure tho so ill have to see how the chrome trim looks after. and with the lift kit i have already gone up 3 inches actualy (hard to believe) and it was the torsion keys. so the guy told me i could go up a few on the body and still avoid having to extend cables and such yet

throw a cam and a supercharger on it :ughdance:

 

 

 

no, I would go with a combination of what everybody else said. Intake, Exhaust, and custom tune

Posted

thats the other option too. is take it all off. i would love to have it blacked out with black rims. but not sure yet. it came with all the chrome pieces on it so it wasnt my choice. kinda suiting tho.

I would get new taillights. im not big on those. I agree with dan too on the chrome handles. i think they look somewhat tacky. besides that the truck does look awesome.. what kind of exhaust are u running? are u looking into getting new tires/rims?

Posted

You lifted the front end 3" with torsion keys?!? YOWWWZA!! Your front must be screaming at you :ughdance: Be prepared for lots of part failures if thats true.

 

I agree on taking the chrome wheel well molding off. I get different tail lights as well. I will say I love how the exhaust is set up on your truck with the tips angled down.

Im actually not all sure what the exhaust is. i know the guy pretty well who did it so he hooked me up pretty well. its magnaflow i believe but i could be wrong. and yea im aiming at rims and tires once im outta school in the spring. not a clue what tho. the XD series have really caught my eye

haha i hope not! i think thats what the guy said but i could be wrong. you will be the first to know if something happens haha. and ya i love the exhaust on it. they did a great job with it.

 

sierra - ya thats true actually. ill start shopping around for a place that i could get the parts to do it. i was also thinking about maybe doing the interior first. redoing to whole thing a charcoal color. i currently have a tan color in it that was used on select models im told. but i think the charcoal would be a lot more suiting

I would debadge it and take some of the chrome off. Black on black really looks good if you do it right. Thats what I did to my truck. no badges anywhere and went with a black 24 with a chrome lip bc I have chrome door handles and some chrome in the stock bumpers but my whole truck is black with the windows blacked out and the front with a 35percent on it as well. You could make it look badass if you do black on black its just hard as hell keeping it clean
