I've got some mod's but they all have a functional purpose. I've got my running board, my dad has a hard time getting in, my window tint, keeps the truck a little cooler in the summer, level kit, I do a little off roading. I've got a dvd/nav head unit installed, I live in the beach and go to school in the mountains of NC so I cross the state almost two dozen times a year so that helps to keep the 8 hour drive interesting and help when going somewhere I'm not used to, I've got monitors in the back of my headrest with a dedicated dvd player going to them, this allows my friends to shut up on those drives when they start to bug me too much, and a back up camera so I can see small cars. I also recently got a tool box to hold my fishing stuff when at school and a bull bar with off road lights. I use the KC's when I off road and I just think the bull bar is the best looking thing to hold the lights on.

I love to modify my truck to make more efficient and powerful. Some people say I took it to the extreme, but my truck is more of a weekend toy. I've done everything to it besides my exhaust, but the lowering motor upgrades and programming I did. I love the results I have done, but still have a lot left, because being one of a kind is definitely no fun!!!

I do small mods here and there and just like several have said its to stand out. On my small island f150s are the popular choice, mainly because the only dealer we have is Ford. With that there are over 10 silver 04-08 f150s. Most are stock but a few have mods. It's all about being able to find my truck in a crowd for me.

I have moded mine A little, new OEM wheels to replace the steel ones. I have done a sound system, added a tonneau cover, and fog lights. In the future I want to take my 3:31 rear open diff and swap it with a 3:73 limited slip

Thanks for the feedback, guys. If we (and our trucks) were all the same, life would be pretty boring.
