Lol oh no, I like the truck too much already, its 4x4, im thinkin I wanna do something along the lines of prerunner of sorts, lightened chassis, widen its stance a bit possibly. I wanna find a 5 or six speed to put in it aswell...
Well anyhting you want prerunner style you need to build it., the aftermarket is non exsistent ...
widen stance, you can add spacers/adapter/wider tires/deep dish rims, etc....
The NV3500 is a nice 5 speed and much bolts up to the 5.2 , this is route i will be going instantly if the vehicle speed sensor dont fix my overdrive/cruise issue
Lighten the Chassis? i dunno its a solid steel truck.. and built such ..
You can take off the box... and replace your intake with an M1 to lose 20 or so pounds, headers to lose another 40... 92DakotaClub is right, its a solid steel truck and there isn't much to it. It already weighs less than most other vehicles and mine only weighs 500 lbs more than my Nissan 350z!! (No it doesn't even come close to the same power but I have to drive something during winter)
