New from Canada

Hi guys! I live in British Columbia Canada. I've been lurking around the forums since may when I bought my truck . It is a 2003 and I am the second owner. I plan on spending the winter working on it and keeping it out of the snow.

Welcome to the club...Nice ride.

Welcome fellow Canadian eh , nice truck

cayman150 · 08-08-2010, 01:45 PM

Welcome! +1 on the lowered stance. Looks great!

Kane · 08-08-2010, 02:28 PM

Thanks guys. I'm living in the Vancouver temporarily as my job takes me to various places away from home. I was able to go home when I had a couple week off of work, I live in a small town of about 1200 people and I couldn't drive anywhere without being asked about my truck. All my friends who used to want to race all the time against my other truck (1990 dodge ramcharger) suddenly became very opposed to the idea (hahahaha).
Any suggestions on what I should do to it? As far as I know aside from the drop it is completely stock from when I bought it. I had all new audio put in with a pioneer avic-x920bt head unit. I've taken out the rear console to fit a 10" sub in but ideally I would like it behind the rear drivers side passenger seat so I can put the console back in. I will have it stored in my garage all winter and have the time to work on it. I want to change out the headlights and tail lights I'm thinking of going with a High/Low HID kit. I have seen a few trucks on here with blacked out stock rims, I really like how those look so I might get to that as well. Should have $5000-$10000 to work with by the winter. Any suggestions as to what I should spend it on?

Welcome! Nice ride.
with that kind of cash, Go Built! You can have a beast with 10K!

Kane · 08-09-2010, 02:02 AM

What would you suggest I start with? I'm am admittedly fairly new to vehicle modification so I'm not sure where to begin.

Greetings. Welcome to NHTOC!

Most start with a cold air intake , up the boost with a lower pulley change , colder plugs & a good dyno tune. That should be enough to get bit by the mod bug & next thing you know your broke.

Welcome aboard.

With up to $10,000 to spend...price around to do a build on that motor...if its too much, then do some basics.

I was originally going for a purple '07 which was also lowered when I saw the 03 I now own sitting beside a stock '01 near the back of the car lot. It was love at first sight.
