go aftermarket on the stereo and GET SUREGRIP
with the 4X4 you might want the 31X10.5"
personally i like 2WD cuz the front gearbox is always turning
loss of power and an 8% loss in fuel econemy
club cab is good if you don't care about adding roughly 500 lbs
i don't think you will be racing it though from the letter you wrote(this
was the impression i got).
i like the sport cuz it is monochromatic with no chrome
