Got some mods in mind already....getting vortex heads with ceramic coated headers. Ported intake manifold as well as changing the exhaust to 3". Truck currently has about 400 hp. I'm hoping to get into the 475-550 range. Seems feasible.

Those "sport" mirrors have to go! They look so silly on a big truck...

As a person in a family with a 98 barn door, y'all don't know what you're missing :booty2:

Looks like a fun truck, hopefully it goes another 200k!

Well giving everyone an update. Got new factory mirrors coming in the mail to replace the sport m3 mirrors. They will be for sale if anyone is interested. Truck drives good but the temp sensor is going bad and the distributor cap needs replaced. Truck gets a good 475-550 miles on a full tank of gas. It has the 30 gallon fuel tank. Costs only $110 to fill it up and it lasts for 2 weeks. I already have people putting bids on the truck IF I decide to sell it years from now. I love it and I plan on keeping it for a long time if things pan out well.

Also the blacked out tails and grayed headlights are also up for sale. Got some halos and some euro tails coming soon. Asking $150 for all the headlights and tail lights.
