The exhaust. 2.5 inch dual to muffler in front of back axle then 3.0 inch single pipe over axle and out passenger side behind tire. So far I have loved all the changes but that is the nicest so far.

Best upgrade - new 300 six engine.

Most beneficial and easiest upgrade - new bench seat from back of 1994 crew-cab.

Did another great upgrade this weekend - replaced all the lock cylinders so that I can lock and unlock both doors from outside again, and the doors match the ignition, all for around $40!

Here's what I did:

I bought the set off e-bay for about $40. There is at least one for sale right now for $40-$50 shipped, item #350438201964.

One note on installation: The door locks came as pictured with a flat armature which had a circle in it. I had to clean up the armature on my old locks and install them on the new lock cylinders, a very simple and rewarding process.

Additionally, replacing the ignition cylinder was very simple.

1. Disconnect the battery ground cable.
2. Insert your key in your old ignition cylinder and turn to accessory position.
3. Insert scratch awl tip or something sharp and hard into small dot on face of ignition cylinder and simultaneously turn key to left. I had to sharpen the tip of an awl with my grinder.
4. Remove old cylinder.
5. Place new key in new cylinder, turn to accessory.
6. Place key and cylinder into ignition switch.
7. Use scratch awl to push small dot on new cylinder, simultaneously turning key to left.
8. Finish pushing cylinder into switch.
9. Reconnect battery, driver her around, and lock the doors when you're done - without having to fish around for another key!

Hmm that's an easy one.. the best mod so far has been the WS6 clip with disc and power steering, second would be the steel tilt front end I made for it, I can sit on my tires and work on it comfortably......heck that's worth the price of admission.....

Best upgrade was replaceing the rusted out cab and bed with another cab and bed without rust.
