Default Pics of new truck.

Pictures of the new truck. I'll get some more soon.

I've decided to put a Radix on it and that will probably be the ONLY performance mod done.

Believe me this hasn't been an easy decision for me and it took some comments by some people I really trust to sway me from putting the turbo on. One was BigTex who mentioned how complete and nice the kit is for someone looking for low boost non crazy setup like I am. Another was a comment that Jim made in the "FI end all" thread about a turbo being more for people that don't mind little maintenance issues creeping up like exhaust leaks etc. and that the radix was a good kit for people looking for 400-500rwhp. That is what I'm looking for.

This decision was not influenced by blownchevy because frankly I don't trust that guy.

I'll probably throw on a set of Hotchkis sway bars too from what everyone has said because the truck likes to lean a tad in the corners.

I'm so glad I decided to finally get this thing. It's an awesome truck compared to what I was driving and I get a smile everytime I get in it.

It could use some bigger brakes too. The stock ones don't stop bad just not what I'm used to in my reg. cab 2wd with light wheels. Maybe a HD hydraboost setup.

How'd you hide that because UPS won't ship hazardous waste.

That truck is sweet. I thought the 2wd were the only ones you can get with no center console and cloth seats?
