Well a brush guard would look real cool, throw some lights on it, maybe tail light guards to match?

Get some dumped flowmasters on there with no cats, black out the windows, and if ya got running boards, ditch'em.

its a 4x4 with the 4.6 and i dont know the gear ratio(stock?). it has some nerf bars that look cool on them but they are starting to rust out so i was thinking maybe buying new ones. Also my parents dont want me to get extremely loud exhaust because it will look "jigaboo" (even though i think it would be sweet)

buy an exhaust and if its not as loud as you want it and your parents say its not too loud do a cat delete. i got the gibson dual extreme exhaust for my truck and it wasnt as loud as i wanted so i deleted the two rear cats now it sounds sick

since its a 4.6 id say the gotts and silencer mod. i have a 4.6 and after i did both mods i could tell a differance, also get a k&n or hpR air filter. I'd put on some cherry bomb extremes or dual glasspacks and just not tell your parents, they might not even realize it. ha. TBS get a bad rap but they do have dyno tests that say they deliver some power and torque gains, but you cant really feel a differance of 8hp (or whatever) at 3000+ rpms with it. so if your looking to squeeze out every last drop of power out if get one.
