I'd say new tailgate should be number 1.

Then toolbox delete as number 2.

I was going to say new tailgate also.
Sticks out like a sore thumb, no matter what you do to the truck, that is what people will see and remember.

I think they look ridiculous unless it's on a work truck.

I keep all my tools/etc in a small removable tote. All too often I run out of space in the bed. Couldn't imagine having to take a big ole ugly toolbox in and out.

If I had to keep everything I use for work in a removable tote then I would be screwed when it came time to take it in and out. LOL

Nope to the bull bar. I would just get a 4x4 valence with depo fogs, xlt mirrors, ptm bumper pad up front, door handles, and flares and call her a day.
