What about a Tonnaeu cover, hood scoop, chrome grill, brush guards, Ram tail light covers, exhaust, halogen blue headlights, Rhino lining, Intake. Also, what about a lift kit and some wider tires.

Btw, very fine choice [&:]

See below for a basic list of what i have done. I am also working on custom "rock sliders", custom skid plates, Rear electric locker, sway bar quick disconnects, front/rear 9000lb winch, snorkel and eventually the grand daddy of mods......the SUPERCHARGER!

Obviously i lean toward "functional" mods rather than the "all show and no go" crap. I plan to be able to climb or crawl over just about anything and still eat a Ford Lightning for lunch in the quarter mile.

Anyway, you can go any number of ways. Have fun and "go big or go home".

Really depends on what you want to do with your truck.

If you wanna tackle the performance side of things first, start with an intake and exhaust. I began mod-ing my truck with the performance package. I've got the K&N intake, and the JBA cat-back.

But, if visuals are more your thing, there are some wonderful grilles and bull bars and hoods and bed covers and.....the list goes on and on. Check out stylinconcepts.com. Alot depends on how much you wanna spend.

I read somewhere the SRT10 hood is not a functional intake is that true? why would they not make it a functional ram-air style.

You can buy the kit for like $80 to make it functional. Problem is the functional ram air hood will suck in rain and any dirt from the road.
