Default New F150 Owner!

What's up everybody, I am the proud new owner of a 2001 F150! I have been looking to replace my '89 Sierra and I finally found the perfect truck for my budget. Picking it up on Monday and I am very excited.

My question for all of you is: what cool things or mods have you done to your truck? I'm already planning on adding a tailgate light bar and installing some LED lighting under the bed rails. If anyone has any tips/suggestions that would be much appreciated. Thanks!

if it were my truck i would paint to match the chrome grille surround and chrome mirrors caps to silver, paint the grille insert satin black, and get some lightning headlights, remove the bug guard if it hasnt messed up the hood at all

some other things for further down the road might be a new valance with fog lights, remove the side moldings, maybe a spindle lift to bring the truck up a little, and i love the fx4 wheels so maybe through a set of them on

but overall it looks like a solid truck in good condition congrats on the truck and welcome to the forum

Thanks for the suggestions! Definitely getting new headlights. Would love to put a lift on it, just need to find the time and money to do it!
