Just a stock denim blue chrome lariat screw so far (tow mirrors are probably the only thing unusual looking about it). I'll post something when I have a chance.
Want to do some "basic" mods as the budget allows:
- diamondback cover
- level - maybe bilsteins 5100's when they officially support the '17s (front lift blocks would probably do me ok since I don't go offroad, but I'd rather do it "right", 'cause I'll probably have this truck for the next 10+ years)
- still deciding between 33" or 34" tires - probably Michelin Defender 33's - I like how the bfg KO2s look - had 'em on my last truck, but I never go offroad and we rarely get much snow, so the defenders will probably serve me better as far as ride, weather, mpg, and handling. Def don't like the Goodyears that come with it.
- Morimoto fog lights (mainly to match the LED headlights)
- eventually, want to go with the Full Race intercooler upgrade so I can add a hidden winch.
- folding bed extender (the 5.5' bed is *really* short...), and I like the idea of being able to put groceries in the back under the cover and not sliding everywhere.
I like the stock look (other than the rake), but want a slightly more aggressive stance.
Want to play with Forscan to tweak things, maybe a tuner later on.
So many options on these trucks compared to my old '04 XLT. It's like sitting in the space shuttle compared to that.
