Default Killing me

I was gonna dump a lot of cash in my truck but business venture came up and I jumped on that. However as you all know that trucks are never finished and I'm bored looking at my truck.

If anyone has a good idea or any input at all positive or negative idc lemme know.

Thanks guys

here's a few pics just to hopefully get some ideas juicing

I would make the truck sit level, take the front bug guard off, and either add a vent visor to the rear window or take the fronts ones off so it looks even.

For sure t-bar crank to level. convert fogs and lights behind the grill to hid. And headlights to projectors. Get 09+ superduty taillights and tint all but the reverse lights. Change all interior lights to leds. Change the gauge lights to whatever you like. And maybe 09+ superduty tailgate and bumper. I wouldn't do it but you might like the look just throwing a couple suggestions at you.

I like the Superduty light idea. And the interior LED's pretty cost effective. Wouldn't mess with the headlights though unless you're going to drop the coin for a retrofit. You have the best non -retro setup out there.

X2 on that. You can get lighting lights already retrofitted but you looking at 500-1000 bucks. Or you can do them yourself like browning for much cheaper.

Looks like he's from Alberta- if that's the case we all use Hood Deflectors in Northern Canada for a reason. Lot's of big rigs blasting rocks.

the tails on my truck are taken baked and tinted. it took me forever to do it. I like the superduty tails idea do they just bolt right in or is there a lot more to it? interior LEDs are cool but I don't know what bulbs to get if in could get a package if all interior bulbs I'd buy them. I was thinking about buying a roll of green lights to hook up for floor lighting. As for the retrofit idea it's just not cost effective. she has 204k right now and I can't see dumping $300 into headlights lol.

the bug deflector can't come off until I paint the truck there were a few rust bubbles from I'm sure. a mix of water and rocks.

your gonna dump money into a new paint job but not 300 bucks for lights? And yes sd lights will bolt right in. You have to bend a little bracket and switch pig tails on the lights but super easy. I think the lights will look better than all the other stuff. You could do a retro fit instead of all the other stuff look 10x better.
