GSU4x4 Upgrade thread
Well since I moved to north GA I'm riding my motorcycle alot more but didn't ride my atv much anymore so I sold it to buy some upgrades for my ST that I've been waiting to do!
I've been slowly accumulating my upgrades since my Carmax warranty expires at 99k miles and I've almost there. But now I'm beginning to install them since I just can't wait anymore, lol. It's been killing to see all my goodies just sitting there, and since I have almost 97k miles I've given up on waiting.
So here's my upgrades...
OEM fog lights (truck didn't come with them)
-bought them and the OEM wiring harness from RockAuto.com
And I've got them wired up to my side indicators so whenever they light up, my fog lights light up too. (ex. unlock the truck, parking lights on, low and high beams)
Hypertech Max Energy Power Programmer
I've gained 2-3 mpg in the city and highway, plus I can feel a slight difference in power. It runs about 500 rpms less on the interstate. I mainly got it to add some power and gas mileage and adjust the speedo for when I install the new larger tires.
Here's the rpms and mpg average on an interstate trip (it was reset at the beginning)
Coverking Seat Covers
I got custom black neopreme seat covers for the front and black ballastic seat covers for the rear since my dog rides with me alot.
and for the real goodies that are being installed after my tax return comes back and I buy new 265/75r16 General Grabber AT2's...
2.5" Traxda Lift/Level kit
BTF Custom Fabricated Upper Control arms w/ new upper ball joints
Moog lower ball joints
Moog tie rods
Moog tie rod ends
Now I'm waiting on the last things I need to file the taxes and I'm buying the new tires and installing everything soon! I'll keep an update on this thread.
