I have read a lot in this and the 4x4 forum. I have done many offroad and apperance MODs to the AV. Now it is time for some performance MODs. This is where I get lost and have no experience. When making reccomendations, please keep in mind, I will ve having everything installed for me. I do not have the tools, skills, time or desire to do the install myself. I don't even change my own oil or clean my own truck. Also, I'm not Mister Big $$$, but I can spend a little every month or so. With that said, I am looking for performance MODs that will be good for an offroader. I want both onroad and offroad performance increases, but the MOD must be safe offroad. I offroad in a lot of sand, fine dust and deep and long water crossings.
Air Box Kit. What is the best kit for someone that offroads? I have read a lot about them, and many seem to have some problems when offroading.
Has anyone done or seen a snorkel on an AV? This MOD would give me great piece of mind on the river crossings.
Muffler / Exhaust system. If I get a Air Box Kit, I need to do this next, to get better advantage of the increased air flow. Correct? Well, I need a system that will not change my clearance from the stock system.
Chip. What is the Chip? Is it used in conjunction with a Hypertech programmer or is it stand alone?
After a Air Box Kit, Exhaust and Hypertech, what would you do next? And don't tell me a supercharger, don't have that kind of cash.
As stated in my sig, I have a 02 1500 Z71 so it is the 5.3l. I have 3.73 gears and I know the 4.10 would be a great MOD, put very expensive. My dealer wants 2K and I can't swing that right now.
Thanks guys.
