Default What should I do to my F150?

I have a 2006 F150 Super cab, and have had it for a few months now. I decided I am going to start adding some to it, because I plan on keeping it for a while. So far I have a slide & lock bed cover, 12" Alpine Type E subs, infinity speakers, and a pioneer radio system. Also I have red/black seat covers. So for the most part I think I have the interior covered. Any ideas for what I should do to the exterior of my truck? And also any more ideas on interior would be appreciated to!

Also need recommendations for a brush guard, thinking of buying one soon.

Go with a black Ranch Hand Bumper, 6in lift, some Nittos or Toyos on some black Fuel wheels. Is your truck white or silver? Can't tell.

+1 on the Ranch hand Grille Guard, get a level, some nice aftermarket rims with your choice of All terrain/Mud terrain tires.

I think you should go with a 6in lift. It'll look really aggressive. Go with some deep dish wheels. If I were you, I would make the truck white and black, with red accents. So then that means you should go with a Rancho lift, which us red and white shocks and struts. It'll look amazing.

A lift is probably the worst thing you can do to a daily driver you plan to keep a long time unless you have lots of extra cash, you will lose major mpg and things will wear out faster, tires are expensive and its very impractical. If you want larger tires I would recommend a level Kit with also adding a block in the rear to keep the stock rake so the front end doesn't point at the sky and look dumb if you pull a trailer or haul something. It will be much cheaper and you will still lose some mpg with larger tires but not as much as a lift, plus you retain practicality.

I also think the ranch hand is one of the ugliest grill guards out there, my opinion, it looks cheap and it is, but it is strong. There are tons of choices out there depending on what style you want, I personally like the Ali arc which is aluminum and what I have, light and strong, but i've seen many better looking black ones like fab four, buck stop, and many others I forget the names. Ranch hand is probably the cheapest option, but it also looks like it.

It really depend on what look you like, 22 or 24 inch rims if you don't off road. there are many chrome accessories such as pillars, handles, bed rails and pretty much everything else, lol! Chrome looks especially good on black and white trucks. Stubby antenna, Hid headlights, smoked tails and 3rd brake light, practical mods such as locking tailgate with the key fob, bed lights if you have a cover, possibilities are near endless.

I don't think you should put chome on your truck. It's outdated and looks hidious.

This picture is a bit old, and I've done more to it, but this is what mine looks like.

Chrome will never be out dated son, some people don't like it and fair enough not everyone likes the same things and that's what makes the world interesting but the majority do, that's why every car manufacturer has chrome options. Your truck looks pretty good but you need a better looking bumper, I do like lifted trucks but not for a daily driver.

I'm just saying, I mean how many SEMA or show trucks do you see with chrome?
