well you're probably gonna end up using most if not all of your 1800 on just the wheels/tires. If you have any left, i'd go with either catback exhuast or cold air intake (CAI). Welcome to the family by the way

you'll fit the 35's if you opt for a wheel with about 4.5" back spacing. But this won't leave you a lot of room for flexing off road, it'll scrub. Also will rub a little at full turn. You'd also need longer shocks, about 2" longer will do, as you'll find the stock shocks will bottom out on even the smallest bumps.
As far as bling, try looking at StylinConcepts and Autotrucktoys, it's where I got most of my "bling" stuff...

yeah autotrucktoys is a pretty decent place to get stuff...i got my bull bar on ebay (which reminds me, i need to get pics) but it was cheap....still say fender flares make the truck.....you might try looking around on ebay and seeing what they have for rims(depends on what ya want, but try lookin on 4wheelparts or 4wheelonline...they usually have some pretty decent deals)

and lastly...welcome to DF

The SPORT package on these trucks have the painted bumpers instead of chrome.

the intake and exhaust go hand in hand, they compliment each other. so aftermarket intake along with exhaust would be a good setup.

i would get a full cai intake. also it depends on which exhaust you are getting. flowmaster are great sounding but are kinda bad performance wise bc they dont flow as good. if you want performance i would go with magnaflow and this is coming from a person who has flowmasters lol
