Rhino Lining
I have a VIPER 720 series alarm installed that included a Automatic Engine Disable (AED) feature. I had to remove that feature because my truck wouldn't start on occasion (it would click a few times and eventually start, almost like the starter was faulty). I also added a Pioneer Z-2 double din entertainment system (CD/MP3/DVD/Blue Tooth/Navigation). It works really well and I'm very happy with it but it throws some codes to the onboard computer because the onboard computer doesn't recognize it as the stock (doesn't activate the MIL).
I was thinking about a lift, but I think I'm only going to go bigger on the tires. I read somewhere on here that 305s were the biggest without needing to do anything to the suspension or ride height, correct?

My RHINO lining has been great but is starting to show a little fading, but that was something I expected to happen.

Update.
My MBRP 5" straight cut double wall tip. Should of got the rolled tip since the tapered look of the double wall is always black from soot and looks like the cheaper $19.95 tips
I wish the red LED's on my line of fire would turn off when in reverse.
Instead of a nice strip of white LED's, it looks like red and white striped candy cane.

Not special ordering. Wound up with a bunch of crap I have no use for, like PW, PDL, Keyless entry, drop-in bedliner. Should have got Espar heater and Jake, and bare bones crank windows and regular button door locks. At least I managed to find one with rubber floor mats instead of carpet, and an 8' box. Would have got the 6 spd too.
Best mods so far? High idle and 2 way remote start. Cold weather kit, & oil sump heater. Haven't gone to a programmer yet. No need for it. (yet) Will go to a much more agressive tire when these wear out.

i regret my helo Maxx 8's. there a pain in the ........... truck doesnt get drivin in the winter and the chrome is cheap on them. keeps pitting and corroding next to the spokes of the wheel. already had 2 replaced. the chrome is so thin on them when u get in the right light you can see a copper color ring in the wheel like you can see through the silver layer. i had a set of 16" helo 6's on a 85 chevy, and then 2 toyotas after. they were prolly 8 years old and never had any trouble with them, so i think the plating division has gotten lazy. and cheap

TransGo shift Kit- should have went with Goerend VB right away. By the time i had the shift kit installed and all the messing around to try to get it calibrated, waste of time and money.
4" MBRP Exhaust- should have went with the 5".
4.5" Tuff country Lift - Should have went with the 6".
Buying a truck with 3.73 gears not 4.10's.
Not waiting till now to buy my truck. Buying it back in May of 07, I spent an extra $3000 in exchange to US dollars because i bought my truck in Missouri.
Now could have bought a lifted 05 for the same dough.
