If it was my truck, those Firestone Destination tires would be the first to come off of the truck (I've never been a fan of Firestone!). I'd put a nice set of rims and A/T tires on it, black the windows out, and chrome the side mirrors out to match the grille.

The Roush grill I've actually been thinking of the past few days, I actually made my own Microsoft Paint picture of it on my truck LOL.

I already have a tri-folding Tonneau cover currently on the truck, and I also have a Bed Topper as well. It came with my truck, I'll mostly use that in the summer when I'm hitting the river fishing, just throw a matress in the bed and go to sleep haha.

The windows are tinted out, but in NL your front windows are only allowed to be so dark, you have to be able to still see inside from the outside. And the police are very strict on it here.

I was also thinking to upgrade the tires, but in all honesty there brand new and well... I've been loving them lol. They've been fan-damn-tastic in this snow and ice!! I do really like the look of the Nytto grapplers and others, It's deffinitly not ruled out thats for sure! I also like black Rockstar rims as well. Are they expensive? and would it look silly with the FS destinations on them?

What will an upgraded exhaust help with? What are some benefits? I know that "straight pipes" are illegal in NL.

Is the truck paid for?
If its not paid for, save the money and pay it off sooner.
I dont like throwing money at someone elses truck.

The truck is indeed 100% paid for. Cash, off the lot.

I'm not sure If I want to level my truck off. I know 90% of the posters on here have, but if you level your truck, won't the back sag down when you have weight in the bed? I use my truck a nice bit carting around ski-doo's and other things.

Here's what I'm thinking, and in no particular order because I'd like to have them all

- Grill
- Rims
- Bullbar
- 33" tires
- indash Nav/DVD.

But I don't know what to do first... I only have 1,500 that I'm willing to spend on the truck right now.

Good deal.
If its a city driver, I wouldnt lift it. Lifted trucks look cool but unless they are used off road, they really arent cool. They are harder to load and unload, harder to get in and out of, worse on fuel, dont tow as well, harder to park, ect. If you want to do something that looks cool, thats ok, but dont sacrifice other things.
It sounds like your truck is pretty much what you want it to be now. I would probably spend money elsewhere in my life but if you just feel the need to change something, get yourself a nice set of wheels. Wheels will set that truck off nicely.
