Re: What would you do different....do's and dont's

My 5 big hitters for building a fun daily driver truck-

1. Have a plan and stick to it, or you'll end up with a truck you won't like and you'll waste money redoing stuff.
2. Do not be a slave to, or fall for the latest trends, build what you like, see number 1.
3. Big wheels and low profile tires look cool but result in a rough ride, (my opinion FWIW), run a more normal size rolling stock and cruising will be way more fun.
4. Make sure your cooling system is up to snuff, sitting steaming along the road is no fun.
5. If your going to do a static drop, do not go too low, or drivability will suffer.

Opinions will differ, MOFWIW
