hi-flow cat, flowmaster muffler, dual tailpipes, black tips
95-98 overhead console w/ homelink

99-02 compass / temperature auto-dim mirror
FX35 HID Projectors, homemade LEDs front and rear including "audi" DRLs
kenwood kdc-x994 w/bluetooth handsfree setup
homemade tool box/blow-through sub box with 2 10s
CB under the dash, permanent antenna mount between bed and cab

Plans for this summer:
Flip tie-rods to top side of knuckle
New grill, same as current one which is cracked
Fix rust holes in cab corners and rockers
line-x bottom of cab and bed
20% Window Tint
new exhaust from headers back
Pull engine to fix small leaks, maybe a cam/intake swap

Long term plans:

No breakage at the dunes, no good pics either. Too windy or too rainy all weekend. That's the bad news. The good news: I picked up a F250 HP44 from 6chevy9 on the way back home. I've been busy researching what I want and need for the swap. I think I will buy some bolt on shakle hangers and make my own crossmember/hanger up front...shackle flip kit for the rear. Other details I've decided on are high steer, 8 lug axle shaft swap for the rear, 4.56 gears, 35s, and ~8" of total lift. I don't think the swap will start for a quite a while yet as I want to do some rust repair and paint work this summer first, but I should be getting a raise and more hours at work next month so who knows what could happen!

Video, it's steam not smoke!

It sounds just right now IMO, sounds very similar to a flowmaster'd and h-pipe'd mustang. Loud enough to hear it while cruising in OD but not obnoxous...at least until it hits 3000rpm!
