Jameel,
My advice is for you to slow down and not pull the trigger on anything until you have adequate time to research, educate yourself on this truck and its attributes. Only then you can make informed decisions that you wont regret later on.
Get the brakes sorted out and get some time behind the wheel and start reading, then planning.
We have all had the thrill of a new old vehicle and cant wait to get started but many have spent money needlessly in haste.
