Hey all, my name's Dustin aka earz. I just bought a 2005 crew cab LE. Loving it so far. Not going to waste too much time getting pics until all this snow melts and I can get it cleaned up, but here's what it looks like.
I've got a set of Hellwig Traction helper springs ordered for it because I noticed axle wrap on the first day of driving it.
Here's a little list of PO mods:
-tinted windows and windshield visor
-Magnaflow muffler that dumps right under the cab
-K&N drop in filter
-folding tonneau cover
Things I plan on changing:
-The visor will be removed because I'm 6'6" and it blocks my view.
-I may run the exhaust pipe at least to the rear wheel just to help keep the cab a little quieter.
-I think the tonneau cover might be a BAK - anyone know how to tell? One of the panels is cracked, and who ever installed it did a lousy job because the front panel doesn't sit flush or latch properly so I'll have to fix that at some point.
I plan on swapping the chrome handles, mirrors, grill/bumper for color-matched pieces so if anyone's wanting to get some bling - hit me up. It's about 20*F at the warmest part of the day right now so I'm not in a huge hurry to get out and do some wrenching.
Oh and gonna need tires soon. I'm wanting something with a fairly decent tread - somewhere between street tires and super gnarly mud tires. Any suggestions?
