Default Help with $2K - Need Suggestions

Ok Guys and Gals,

It is that time of year again and I have some extra money that is burning a hole in my pocket and I want to do some more upgrades to the truck. I have currently

2013 F150 XLT - Chrome Package, Tow Package, XLT Premium Package
Tinted Windows
Lund Bed Cover

Here she is:



This is what I would like to do:

Clazzio Seat Covers - $500
QT Low Pro Tonneau Cover (Sell my Lund) - $500
2013 HID Head Lights or Retrofitted Head Lights - $1000
Toyo MT, MT ATZ, or Trail Grapplers 34/11.50/18 - $1000
Leveling Kit 2 1/2 - $200
Platinum Grill - $300
Stereo Upgrade ( Speaker, Processor, and Amps) - $1000
Tow Mirrors - $300
Tail Lights - $200

I'm sure there is more but I am definitely going with the seat covers first so I have 1500 left to play with. If this was your truck what would you do next.

Thanks for all input...

500 for a low pro?

Shop around for that. I paid 410 with tax and they installed it cause I was 5 hrs from my wrenchs. And in Canada too.

Those are estimates to give idea of general price. I have found them for as low as $365 but not sure if they are still on sell so I put 500 just to be safe.

Thanks.

I would go with tires and tails. You can get tails from the for sale section for $55 brand new OEM Fx style.


Your audio is a little high also, you can get 4 nice speakers (4x8/5x7) for around $150 through amazon.

Have you thought about a programmer and custom tunes?

I like the Tires and Tails idea. I have seen the FX tails but I'm thinking more of the LED tails through Recon or Spyder.

I would love a programmer but holding off until I get a few more miles on her just to make sure my warranty is intact for the Break in... What do you consider the best programmer out for the Eco?

For the setup I'm looking for it will be a little more. I can upgrade the speakers but what happens is Garbage in Garbage out... I could probably bring it down to $500 and get a good sounding setup.

i would go with level/tires but it depends what you do with your truck. If you don't overland your vehicle or drive in off-road situations I would spend the money elsewhere.... savings haha but that's easier said then done. Or take that money and pay more of your truck off, granted it's not paid off already.

I voted for the level and tires also. It sounds like with your ideas you are wanting the truck to look more agressive and I think you accomplish that with the level and larger tires faster than the mirrors and tails.

My FX4 mirrors my thoughts on your mods. My lift and tires were first, new speakers and off road bumper replacement in progress, Clazzios, leather steering wheel cover, lighting all around, exhaust and tuner are next on the list.

All of your ideas are good ones, IMO.

I vote for the audio, you spend most of the time inside the cab make it sound better. All the cosmetic upgrades I'd do after I'm satisfied with the interior
