Well i have a couple options right now. The local truck shop at which i will soon be working has a cheque for a bunch of work on my truck. Now the dilemma is that i currently have about 1k leftover and dont know what to spend it on. So i wanna see what everyone thinks on here. So post your vote and let me know what you think. For the turbo kit option it would just be some money to get the ball rolling and maybe purchase the turbo. And if you have a choice other than whats on there just let me know what it is.

I voted fenders, with the 2-tone and painting them the lower tone to match will look great with new rims and tires(depending on tire width)

Thanks, the fenders are the thing that i have been leaning towards. But a friend has someone who is making a remote mount turbo kit for his s10 extreme, and it kinda got me thinking about how hard it would be to do on mine. Since ive got lots of room underneath to mount a turbo.

6 inch lift

Lift probably isnt going to happen anytime soon. If i do a lift, that means bigger tires, which means new gears and id probably wind up doing a bunch of stuff.

level it ,then supercharge it

Its already got a 2" leveling kit on it. And supercharger is a little bit out of the budget, thats why ive been thinking turbo. I have alot of friends who know turbos really well, and we could custom make a kit for the truck and it would cost alot less than a supercharger.

If you have enough money... a hard tonneau cover with a spoiler on it... looks great. Saw a truck with it and yup, found it really nice but it depend if you prefer performance over esthetic.

Hard tonneau wouldnt work as there is usually a dirtbike in the box on the weekends lol

Ah... that changes everything. In fact, a soft tonneau cover is the best in that case.

Note that it don't change my mind on the hard tonneau cover and the spoiler. Saw a ram yesterday with them... it gives the box a real nice look :)

Ya i think its gonna be the flares. They have a set in stock at the local shop so thursday im going to take a look at them and probably get them. And hopefully the rims should be in monday tuesday. But i got a nice big box with some harley lights in the mail today. And i think im gonna sneak out and see if i can put them on and snap a pic.

It has to be the turbo remote kit with loud dump valves and lots of pics from beginning to end for those of us who are planing the same mod. STS has a pretty cool universal kit.

Looked at the STS kit. Just gonna get everything together myself. On the hunt right now for a masterpower T70 .96ar turbo. It should be a pretty easy build. The only challenges are the oil feed, and the air intake tube from the turbo to the manifold. The rest should be a cake walk.
