Thanks for the welcome!
This may seem strange for this group, but I only have 80K (kilometers, yah, I'm Canadian) on the '95. I take a train to work so the truck only gets used for fun!

I won't be doing to much this first year.
I'll definitely add wheel well inserts (learned that from the forum) and Line-X the bed soon. (Got Line-X on the old truck and like it) I'll add a top, but I'm not sure what kind yet. The Diamondback tonneau covers look good,but I haven't priced them out yet and suspect they are out of my price range.

I would like to get a leveling kit and maybe some better rims and rubber, but not til fall. I will probably look at CAI at the same time.

My older truck is a 2WD, no experiance with 4X4, so I will be keeping an eye on the forum for tips about taking the truck off road.
