Someone suggest my next mod

By using the mods in my signature and power levels indicated, other than a transmission, what will be the most effective next mod for my truck. I really dont know which way to go to get the most bang for my buck. I have less than $500 to spend right now. Thanks.

That front bumper you made for it is spectacular! But it is big.
I'd be tempted to break up all that black with some driving lights (or fog lights)! Not real big ones but something along the lines of the PIIA 500 series.

It is big, but I think suits the truck well with the leveling kit and 315's. It has some new editions that can be seen on the Georgia #40 Thread from our Dyno Day. Anyhow, thanks for the input but Im looking for the money makers right now, hard parts for the motor and what not. Unless there is a feeling that the next mod really has to be a tranny. If that is the case then I can start saving my cash.

Got you!
Tranny would have been my first suggestion.... but you did say $500.00.

Nothing else you could do would give you a 'new truck' feel as much as a built tranny. I'd wait till I could do that next!

Good Luck

That is really what is holding me back but my wallet has the upper hand in all that I do to the truck.

I'd put the money aside, and save for a tranny, or other repairs. I don't think you could hold much more power than you have.

And then spend some time tuning.

Or maybe stud the stock gasket before it goes.

Are you expecting a refund this year?
