Ah the crux of where to start.

What do you want to change right now? What bugs you the most when you look at it or drive it?

Start there. That will determine which direction to go...

I recently went with the Depo's. Nothing unique but I love em. Factory bulbs for now.

I love the Depos, it is one of the things I actually may HAVE to change before long, as the "aftermarket" headlight that got installed on my truck after my accident is taking on water, and I'm just waiting on it to fry the bulb.
its an 05

It's really a 50/50 thing. My car has the old Bose system, which is fine for listening to the radio, but it doesn't have an aux input or bluetooth, or anything, and its frustrating to have 3-4 cables in the truck all the time just to charge, and/or play the phone on the stereo with a FM tuner, but that sucks on road trips, plus there are some HD stations in the area I's like to pick up. The Pioneer 3800 is on my radar, does everything I need, and I can get it right at 200$ before the harness / adapter, so its probably the CHEAPER upgrade.

The lights, like I say are functional and cosmetic, but I really don't want the headlight to go out anytime soon. I do have some other outside upgrades to do, gonna replace headlights, bumper lights, and tails, so thats the more expensive upgrade, but will make the truck look pretty amazing.

so yeah, essentially a coin flip, or just forget both of em, buy an airaid jr, and continue to complain about the lights and the radio o_O

Went to a pick a part and found some nice looking vent caps from an Escalade. I also grabbed the smooth antenna valence piece in case I do the antenna delete mod.

The parts.

After cleaning up. Don't mind my gf's valentines decorations in there. She decorates the house, I decorate my ride.

Flip that coin. @jarydM

Those options will bring you instant gratification. I'm sensing you want the stereo upgraded which will make the daily runs and long trips much more enjoyable with only one charging cable.

This may be your starting point.@jary

I did lots of looking and went straight to the depo and haven't looked back! I highly recommend getting the fleece all high upgrade if you haven't already! my Tahoe lights up the road great I just can't decided if I should try hid led or a brighter bulb for little more light.

$75 for both and the antenna cover. Thought it was an awesome deal and they are in great condition. I was expecting around $200 since the smooth unpainted caps are 160 online.
Damn good deal. The smooth cowl ends are hard to find. Good score.

AND.... have new upper control arms, new caster/camber alignment kits, and new Energy Suspension Polyeurethane jounce stops to go on, hopefully my bumpsteer/wandering issue will finally be taken care of. And if not completely, then the KYB Steering Stabilizer I also picked up should finish it off!

I'd like to see that steering stabilizer. Especially the install. I've been thinking about doing this for awhile.

If it still does it, look at your tires.
