Ok, here's the deal - I would like to ask TCG's input on what to do with my current truck. Allow me to get into a few points:
Otherwise, if I didn't keep the truck I'd sell it off for 10k or whatever and go looking for a newer 1/2 ton. Not sure which yet, but seems like the big three all have trucks worth looking at right now.
I really don't like the idea of another payment, so keeping the truck is ideal... but the rust is starting to wear me down.
What to do TCG?!?!
- Truck has 222k on the clock and runs great
- Rust has taken hold of the rear fender wells
- Anemic tire sizes piss me off
- Been thinking of selling and going 1/2 ton
- Interior is still going strong, but need to fix the heated driver's seat before winter
- Would like to level the truck, but I am pretty sure the rear is sagging a bit so its sorta already levelled.
- Bigger tires, but which and wheels or not to wheels?
- Never done a fuel filter on the truck... should I worry about that? It's located on the driver's side frame rail, right?
- One of the door moldings literally blew off the truck while I was on a road trip for my son's football to Pennsylvania. 1850mi round trip at 85mph, got 17mpg hauling 5 people and a boat load of stuff in the bed. She cruised quite nicely IMO. Anyway, thinking about removing the door moldings - thoughts?
- Grill guard - keep it or lose it?
- I think I need some new LEDs - which to buy? Or do I just install LED bulbs in the low beams and keep the old D2 lights I've got in the fog slots now? They work great, but they're getting BADLY WEATHERED.
- Running boards - keep em or ditch em? If I level it, I would need to jump to get into the damn thing
- Topper or not to topper?
