Ariadne: (The pics get bigger if ya follow the link, just trying to conserve space )
- ******** Cepek 33 X 12.5 R17 - They're becoming a pain in the butt! Hard to balance, cupping, missing huge chunks from the rocks...when they burn up I'm looking else where!
- Bilstein leveling struts up front & shocks in rear - I love these when I'm on the washboards and the bumpy roads. The truck is so much easier to keep a hold of.

- Camper Shell - I've got a used camper shell that was cheap for a reason, but its good for camping fun in the cold. I sold the original 20" wheels she came in to buy it and still had enough leftover for supplies for a week in Colorado. Below are my setups with it...I either just throw in the bag and pad or use the bed platform I built

- CB Radio & Dual Band Ham - I had a CB until it somehow crapped out. Waiting to buy both someday. Looking at that dual band Yaesu and the all in the mic Cobra with mag mount whips on the roof. With the top I fabbed (ha ha) up this mount to work with the camper shell...shortly after all that the CB died though.

- Lights - I really want some extra lights for this black hole called a moonless desert night
- Magnaflow - I got the shortest and smallest straight through muffler I could get and love it
Magnaflow 3" SI/SO by snafu-kb, on Flickr
- K&N FIPK - Eh...the PO installed this and it really isn't worth the trouble. There are brands with a full box around the air cleaner...buy those!
- Brushguard - I'd really like something up there since there really is a lot of BRUSH here...plus it would make a nice, stout mounting place for lights if I got something like a tuffcountry one
- Skidplates - This truck is a sport model so no skids to speak of which is a lil scary in the desert and on Engineer & Ophir pass too...

- Front tow hooks - As previously mentioned...Sport model therefore nada...I play in the mud and snow too much not too

Day after I bought the truck...already dirty!
Today after the new tires and wheels and some after work "testing"
