Anything else I should do on the low budget?

[Muskrat]

Iron Cross front bumper, torsion bars topped out (rides better), Toolbox, window sticker, Billet grille insert, I DO have plasti dip in my back seat for the rims...dip the caps too or just the wheels and leave the caps alone? Opinions? Suggestions? Criticism?

 

[ctjheiner]

You could always dip just the rims and throw the caps on just to see how they look, then decide on the caps. Mine are aftermarket, so I sprayed the rims then sprayed the hubs with flat black high heat paint and threw the rims on with no center caps and chrome lug nuts, I think it looks great.

I would de-badge it too, but I really like the clean look of a bare truck. :thumb:

Room for Ddm hids?

X2 on debadge. Or at least pull that thing off the doors that is suppose to keep it from getting dented except for the fact that car doors are lower than it and will hit the door anyways.

X3 on debadge and take off the moldings.. It will be a night and day difference..

What's the best way to take off the molding? and im plasti dipping the "2500HD" and "SIERRA" on the tailgate.

Fishing line or a guitar string.

I'll look and see what it looks like without it and see what else i should do after that.

Meh, I prefer head gun to warm them yank em off and use an eraser wheel to get the leftover double sided tape.. I have done a few of my trucks with just rolling the tape with my fingers and then cleaning up the little bit of glue with goo gone, but a 20 dollar eraser wheel from amazon is worth every penny

UPDATE:

 

[Taylor-34]

Looks good man. Clear out the head lights and take the moldings off and it will look real clean with your blacked out badges..:thumb: maybe 20% tint on your driver and passenger windows to match the factory tint

I used a hair dryer (heat gun would be preferred) and strong fishing line. Hold it up to the molding to get the adhesive warm in the back side, and run the fishing line through it. The molding should peel right off no problem. Make sure you don't hold it too close for too long, not sure what affects it would have in the paint if you do. Use some goo gone and get the extra residue off afterwards.

 

[Taylor-34]

I use a heat but and just shove my fingers behind the moldings and yank em off, then I buy a $20 eraser wheel and use it in my cordless drill but with a lil elbow grease you can rub off the double sided tape with your fingers ice done plenty that way..

Since you asked.

Take off the 600 lbs of extra weight hanging off the front end. That should free up some power, save some fuel, and save the front suspension.

It baffles me when someone comes on here and wants more power but adds weight, it's counterproductive.

:yup:

Hmmm

Well, low budget mods to me if done one at a time would be:
Transgojr shift kit ($100)
Mod the factory intake by eliminating some of the unnecessary plastic(free)
Lift pump, fuel tank sump or upgraded draw straw and factory filter delete
Gauges and pillar pod (boost, pyro and maybe rail press)
All on mod to the headlights (costs 3 bucks)
Maybe a Lock up controller
Tunes from Kory and DSP5
Egr/dpf/doc deletes
Deep rear diff cover for added fluid capacity
I love me an upgraded ft swaybar and added rear swaybar
Helper air bags, delete the overload and if ya want the height back add a set of DEAVER mini packs, but with the overload removed and the t-bars lowered down it'll look good
Many run them many hate them, but I've always had good results with the cognito pitman and idler support kit or you could go all out and just get a complete kryptonite set up for the front end, of course you can do it one set of parts at a time
Lifetime oil filter from K&P engineering, it's significantly better in every way than any paper filter could dream of being, with the exception of cost but it's a lifetime filter too, so 10 or so oil changes covers the cost...
EBC orange stuff brake pads
A set of traction bars or even CALTRACS if ya want to spend more

Critisim-
I can't stand plasti-dip
That bumper is....well not for me
Drop your t-bars back down and save your ifs parts and tires

Save for:
A built trans

HAA welllll I think it's more of a last resort and I don't think any of us are there yet so we will just stick with a heat gun. Damn iphone

 

[NKlamerus]

Also might want to look into window tint, IMO nothing looks better than black windows and white trucks. Plus I'll take anything I can get to keep the sun out down here
