IMO these trucks look best stock lol. I'd remove the brush guard and toolbox and buy a new set of OEM wheels and call it good. Must be the old man in me lol.

What are your plans?

Removing the grill guard is high up on the list of things to do. Along with some mickey thompson polished wheels. Truck still has stock muffler and exhaust so hoping to put a nice mellow setup on it nothing loud but just mellow and deep.

Just my own opinion, but I would also recommend a cold air intake, I have one that the previous owner installed on my truck and it really livens it up

Funny that you say that i recently purchased the k&n air filter and Ive been see where people are removing the air box then taking a 2'' inch pvc cap and putting over it for like a DIY CAI. Wasnt fond of it really but i would like to see an actual CAI setup. Do you have any pics.

Mine has true duels with flow master mufflers, not sure which model but I'm guessing super 40s, with slash cut tips out the back, I do still have the cats, still kinda loud when you get on it, but it sounds really good

To be honest I don't really hear mine as bad unless I open my rear slider window, then it is noticeable

Depends on how loud you want and if you want a nice rumble or the higher pitched crackle.

I'd recommend a Magnaflow muffler, cat delete with a pair of long tube headers.
