Default What should we do to this F150???

Whats up everyone! Today we have a newish 2014 F150 that one of our guys just purchased. Now as you can see, it's pretty much bone stock, minus some Husky floor liners, and these super ugly spray painted wheels.

Now we're not judging anyone here, we just want to get some thoughts on if this was your truck, what would be some of the first upgrades, mods, or customization you would plan on doing?

Lets all have a great discussion! Let us know what you think!

Thanks!

4" lift, 18" Method wheels, 35" tires. Completely black it out, zero chrome. Darkest window tint allowed in your state, and amp power steps.

We like the blacked out idea!

Something different. I have nothing against a blacked out truck, because they look good/amazing, but everyone is doing that.
Me personally;
Level it if it already isn't (I can't tell)
Put some nice 18" rims on there, not all black, but not all chrome. A good mix of both.
Wrap it in a 34" MT
Tone the chrome down
Tint all the way around
Put either a lid or cover over the bed
Do something about the headlights.
If it's a 5.0, A nice dual exhaust set-up with twin, either side or rear exit, rolled tips. Maybe 3"

Very true that is a great point!

Cool

Chrome wheels, 34-35" tires, lift, Nerf bar w/LED light bar, Dark Tint (goes without saying!), window deflectors, Roll Cage with lights, possibly a spare tire mount in bed w/highlift jack.

Black Raptor boards.
Slight lift, Some good shocks and coilovers in the front, 3" block in rear maybe
Some "nice" polished/machined wheels, 18X10 or so, NO wild negative offset, with some decent AT's, 285/295/70 or so
Nice dual exhaust rear exit
PTM the grille surround, black out the mesh, retain "C" clamp in chrome
Tonneau

If I had my way, I'd line-x the lower half or 1/3 all the way around, then matte black the rest. Black tint. Gunmetal 22" wheels with 37's (yes, I'd want to contrast the black of the truck). Lift necessary to support that gives good wheel travel. ARB lockers front and rear. I'm guessing 5.0, so supercharge it or twin turbo, with some exhaust that exits somewhere unobtrusive/doesn't intrude on the off-road capability. Front winch bumper, rear bumper. 15klb winch with bubba rope line and bubba rope shackles. Rigid LED lighting (but nothing on the roof unless mounted from a headache rack).

Find a set of stock rims, put them on it, be done. Call me weird, but I prefer to keep my trucks stock.
