Default New FX 4 5.0, what next?

Truck has the FX4 appearance package and luxury package. I am having a hard time coming up with anything more to do to this truck. So far I have:

Silverstar bulbs for headlight and fogs (today)
Anti Sway bar and Brake controller (after I buy something to tow)
Clear front end bra
Rifle/Gun storage (any ideas?)

This is all I can come up with, I am stumped on spending more money for the first time in my life. The truck seems to have it all, all that I would ever need or think I need. Any ideas gents?

Here's my list so far...
Borla atak exhaust
5.0 badge to replace flexfuel one on tailgate
Wheel well liners
Cravenspeed stubby antenna
Bakflip G2
Tailgate strut
Ford rubber bed mat

In the next month I'll be getting a separate set of rims with duratracs for the winter.
These things are money pits, that's for sure! Have fun!

First Choice - A custom tune - I've been using 5STAR's 87 octane tune, and the throttle response is quicker, better shift points, and you can lift the top speed limiter, etc, with it. Best $400 mod ever.

Second choice - a Detroit True Trac carrier in the rear - but pricier - $500 for the part, $300 for the Ford guru to install - good street manners, but when you nail it you've got two tires digging in, and when pulling a trailer on gravel, you don't have the traction control applying the brakes and cutting power -
