Mine are to get Black, 22 inch SS replica rims, a new head unit and new Alarm/ Remote start kit installed. Depending on money flow, I may add to this list color matching mirrors, crossbar, handles and rockers.

My New Year's Resolution for the TB is to get the system 100% installed, tint the windows, Depo LED tail lights and Clear mirror turn signal lenses. Also, JDM headlight with the clear side turn signal. A bonus would be 22" black Replica SS rims and the SS front/rear bumpers.

To install all the new parts that are sitting on the shelf in the garage plus brakes and tires. I am not lazy, I have just had to back burner a lot since we moved and our son was born.

TBSS - I need to get some exterior stuff done. There's a chip in the paint on the front of the driver's door where it was rubbing the front fender, opening and closing. There is a lot of peeling in the clear coat on the back bumper. Then the whole thing needs a good buffing.

'Hoe - I have my eye on a set of Infinity speakers for all four doors. Finish my exterior LED install. Finish my tail lens painting mod. (just sanding and a couple more coats of clear to do) And still considering color match on the chrome cross bar.

Get both my bumpers repainted, front one has a crack possibly upgraded to the LT bumper and the rear bumper has peeling clearcoat from the previous owners cheap repair. Also would like to get the hood repainted to fix all the rock chips-bug gaurds and splash gaurds didn't help with that.

Planning on selling it to buy a 1500 4x4 and a Mustang GT. Otherwise:

*Buy a JEEP for a new off-road toy*

TB:
06+ LT bumpers and healights
Bentley style grill
Shave roof rack and rear wiper
Smooth rockers and door handles
Repaint(same color)
20 FR Comp Grey wheels
Ebony interior
SS Rear Axle
06 LT cylinder head(ported) or 5.3 conversion
possible 2wd conversion
Trans rebuild with shift kit, stall converter, vette servos and actuators
The list is endless..

Of course, much like most new years resolutions, it probably wont all get done.

Lights under the running boards (or Puddle lights)

Fill in the Chevy emblem in the front
Install the 20" chrome rims I scored :wootwoot:
LEDs in the mirror signals
Install 2 12" subs (possibly)
New hood deflector & bush bar / safari bar
Eradicate that terrible rattling that the stereo (stock) is causing!! :hissyfit:

1. Finish switch panel.
2. Custom off-road light bar.
3. New interior LEDs.
4. Add some more lights that flash to the beat of the music.
5. Puddle lights (I think that is what they are called) and courtesy lights under the dash.
6. Turn signals in the mirrors.
7. Full-size grill guard.

I would love to do an LED swap on the instrument cluster, but I do not have the time or patience for that much soldering.

There are also several more things on my wish list but I think this is a good start...

Small list but here goes...

1. Replace inside door handle bezel - It was glued in place when we bought the TB used - both front doors
2. Replace rear pads and rotors
3. Replace left side mirror and install turn signals on both side mirrors
4. Take the TB to at least 1 if not more meets if possible

More importantly... with our CV joints.


I'll be reattaching a swaybar and removing some lift. Pulling the winch and putting the stock bumper back on. I need the TB to get some MPGs now that I have a dedicated toy.

Get the Avalanche 3rd brake light, get 4 steel 17" rims, blasted and powder-coated for winter, get my current stock 17" rims refinished so they actually look decent and not corroded and get a push-bar.

Got rims, then sold them and went back to other ones, but did buy a set of beadlocks too.
Got tires. Wish I had not gone cheap on them and now I want a different set this year.
Rear Bumper...
