Arrow New from TX

Hey guys! Glad to be here! Just thought I should come and introduce myself and my truck. I had both the '03 listed below and a '90 5.7L Ext cab but the '90 was just stolen in broad daylight from me this past thursday 12/7!!!!
I am still hoping it is recovered, because I had just purchased it at thanksgiving with only 79K actual miles! I had a tone of performance goodies purchased for it already!! Now I'm back to just having the '03.

My '03 has the following done to it.



  • Black custom grill
  • black line-x front bumper
  • black line-x rear bumper
  • black line-x OE 16" wheels w/ chrome caps
  • Go-Rhino push bumper
  • dual split fog lamps w/ strobe hidaway bulbs
  • high beam override kit
  • 2 hidaway strobe bulbs in place of the DRL bulbs
  • 2 High intensity LED front turn signals
  • SVP remote light/siren control
  • Liberty Lightbar (although i'm about to remove it)
  • 100 Watt flat siren speaker mounted behind Driver side tow hook.
  • 5 Ultra high intensity TIR3 red LEDs in the taillamps and 3rd brake lite
  • 2 ultra high intensity TIR3 amber LEDs in the clear sections of the rear lamp housings
Thats it for now. I am looking at possibly doing some performance mods to it like a sealed air intake and a Gibson exhaust right away. Things to maybe follow would be headers, higher flow intake manifold, and its about getting time for a complete tune up so I will go with good MSD or Accel cables, rotor, dist. cap, and a quality set of plugs.

Is there something else that I could do to step it up a notch, without breaking the bank? Keep in mind it has the 4.3L V6.

Thanks guys. :new:

So what do you guys think? I love how it looks, and the all black front end just looks mean I get a lot of good comments on it. The only other thing I might do with the looks is drop the rear a bit to equal the front, but I am unsure as to what will happen when I tow my popup camper. With the camper in tow, the rear drops down and is even with the front.

As far as performance wise, I can't wait to tear into this thing and get some more RWHP going on.

i don't know why it didn't work!

If you go up to my first post, you can click on that picture of my truck and it will expand to fullsize, plus if you click the green arrow on the blow up pic page, you can see the other full size pic as well.

Thanks
