What should Santa bring?

What should Santa bring me for Christmas, a new gauge cluster with phantem gauges or a cowl hood for my truck. What are you guy's getting for your trucks?

Re: What should Santa bring?

Santa needs to shove a rust free cab in my stocking.

Re: What should Santa bring?

farside, I hope you don't have a OD tran, I do and my rpm is around 1500 at 55 mph this lugs the motor down and I get poor fuel mileage I'm getting ready to go from 3.07 to 3.42 gears.

Re: What should Santa bring?

My truck is getting some new Katzkin Tuscany series leather to wrap the seat, headliner, and door panels. The tweed covering the inside of the cab will be replaced with some comfort suede. The kick panels will get updated and the kick panels speakers will be replaced with the new Polk Audio SR6500 Signature Reference components. My truck is a "only" truck (only child).

Re: What should Santa bring?

I went all out on gifts for my truck, as I never got it anything last year (bought it right before christmas). New body panels all around, along with a fresh coat of paint. The interior will also get redone, along with a fresh wiring harness. I figure while I have it apart, I might as well do it right.

Re: What should Santa bring?

A new mini starter, two exhaust sections from the boxes back, a Performer EPS manifold and some dry weather to install it all in.

The wife has to go over to Vegas on business in January for a big sales conference and I'm trying to persuade her that the inlet manifold is a much better piece of hand baggage than a new handbag! (they're much cheaper over your side of the atlantic than over here!)
