While it's in my mind ...
2007 FX4 Scab Flare-side was purchased 2009, have no intention of letting it go. Stuff includes a SS 3"SI/2.5"DO exhaust with the two 3" OD angled rolled edge polished SS tips, (it came with 4" but they were too big for my taste). Has the SI/DO chambered muffler and a SS 28" long 3" ID glass pack ahead of it, plus weights to kill all drone.
It does have an Undercover 2090 hard bed cover, Line-X too, and a cut down floor over the Line-X in case something like an engine block get's laid in there (Buddy give me a old short bed drop in, I "saws-alled" the sides off except for the wheel tub sides and front wall.).
Has been lowered 2-1/4" in front (I shortened shock's lower stalks by 1-1/2 est"), 2" in rear (Removed 2" blocks, new Stengel Bros. 9/16" "square" type U-bolts) for super easy hopping in or out, I aligned it at home,
Super Chips FP-1865 programmer, a True Flow CAI that draws from the OEM fender well, (but with no restriction).
I keep a dedicated cord in place to run my Scan Gage II when driving it, watch temps, mileage, load percentage, etc.
Hellwig 1-1/8" rear sway bar.
XM SkyFi cradle and uses the OEM Sirius antenna that is on the roof (just change the plastic on the cable end).
Just over 72,xxx miles as of March 2021.
Wade molded floor mats and new Pirelli Scorpion ATR WOL tires in Nov. 2019, same 275/55-20 as was OEM (I like the looks, they drive good, smooth, and wear like iron).
"In channel" type window shades / rain deflectors.
I made the bed net from a cheap yellow tie down set to keep stuff near the tailgate (like groceries, gas cans, trash bag, etc ... not all at once though).
Has a 48" long multi LED light under the tailgate, does running lights ans left or right signals and brakes. I wired it into the harness to the trailer plugs so the trailer plugs stay vacant.
Under seat storage I built and covered with heavy textured black Vinyl like you see as step traction ... and "Texas" badge, just 'cause I'm from there.
Truck has some $$$ hidden in it for emergencies.
On the Blue Ridge Parkway.
Big tree fell in this spot just 30 minutes after I moved the truck to a different spot in it's carport.
I forgot, so I'll add it here.
I do have it wired for a BU camera that is mounted on a bracket that simply fits in between the bed cover and bed, gives good view of what's behind from the vantage point of top of the tailgate, like to check on trailer, it's set up so I can check it going down the roadway too.
I've added a wooden fitted storage box seat belted in the rear seat dead center. It was meant to carry our puppy kennel up high so our Abby (Yorkie-Pom) could enjoy the view from our level as we rode along, but we lost her a few years ago.
I've added some power ports for my Garmin or phone chargers.
Of course, truck has moon roof, glass slider, AC, heat, etc ... all the bells and whistles that came on a FX4.
Got new headlights and plugs in 2019. As of yesterday, 72,721.9 miles.
Abby occasionally got to ride up with my Wife for a break, she went everywhere with us. Open her kennell, set her in the seat, say "load up", she went in via the ramp that had carpet for traction.

2010 bought new off showroom floor
4x4 XLT with the 4.6 3v. Currently has 108000 miles. Remained stock up until last year. Started to feel some neglect with this truck so I figured it was time to upgrade. Wanted it to feel more modern.
Started with a tonneau cover. Then came the touchscreen infotainment center with amp and 10" sub under rear seat.
And just in past few weeks it got a 2" level front. 1.5" blocks in rear. Add to that a set of pro comp 40 series 17x9 -6 offset wheels wrapped in 285/70/17 mastercraft courser cxt tires. And to finish it off, for now, some DRL projector headlights with LED fogs, amerilite rear taillights and raptor style behind the grill lights. I'll add more pictures later.
