Second: The truck Drives great. Yes it has a few problems but for the price and what is done to it then they aren't that big of a deal.

Third: FUCK NEW MEXICO!

The short list of upgrades that she will get.

Isuzu 2.3 cam
Drop in replacement and is better then the aftermarket crap.

Isuzu 92+ 12 bolt rear
Its a 61 wms to wms (up from 59)
They are also coiled so I might build a 3 link for it but i'm not sure yet.
If I don't coil it i'll do a spring over and move to smaller Shackle to level out the truck a little better.

Light bar 4+ lights

New front bumper

New front seats with ARM RESTS

60/40 Split rear bench seat. They fold flat to turn into a bed

roll cage
