lol, indeed. You have a nice looking truck there and I know a few younger folks that have toppers that are similar to yours. They truely use the functionality(is that even a word?) of it with what they do with their trade and hobbies. They simply just did what a lot of others like to do(lift, tires, maybe programer, exhaust and the list goes on) but just added the topper and I have to admit they don't look bad at all.

IMO, don't put big tires on it like these guys are saying unless you go offroad. If you do alot of on-road driving those A/T or M/T tires will be a waste of money. They wear down fast, make alot of noise and you will have reduced on-road performance. Only thing they'll do for you is look really good. That's why I didn't go that route..but unfortunately stock trucks get no respect on here, lol. Maybe a 1" Daystar level?

How about an in-dash iPad, Or a sound system, or Projector Retrofits by Bil or Tux.

My truck looked identical to yours minus the topper. I leveled, tinted, added a hidden winch, and put on aftermarket chrome wheels and 35 inch Mickey Thompson MTRs. If I had it to do over I would just level, add tires a couple sizes larger to the stock wheels you have, and leave it at that. Aftermarket wheel quality can suck, especially if you live where they salt the roads. The topper is all in the eye of the beholder. If you're into outdoors, the topper can be great for hauling gear and camping. I think it makes a truck look more cool in an overland/expedition manner. I'm actually looking at getting one myself. Check out Desert Dawg's setups on his white ecoboost truck and red platinum trucks. Awesome look with the topper.

Get rid of the camper shell and get the diamond back cover. Also a leveling kit and some rims and tires will completely change the look. You could also change your grill and get some retrofits.
