    Take off the Damage Multiplier(bullbar), take off the bro-light. Get some wheels that would allow you to ride over a small curb (probably at the mall) without getting rashed up. Other people may have more ideas, this is just a start.

    Edit: It occurs to me that you may like the way your truck looks now. If this is the case, please disregard my comments above and accept my apology. In answer to your question, perhaps consider adding a huge spoiler, a fart pipe and a kewl hood skewp, brah. Welcome to TW.

    Well that was a rather courteous edit! OP, before peeps start throwing all set ups at you...might be good to throw out a general budget, expectations for the truck, future capabilities, etc. that you may want it to achieve.

    Cool man...I think suspension would be a good first step. Since you hit sand and mud, may not need armor. Retros could be a nice upgrade as others have said. Old Man EMU (OME) makes a decent soft ride kit that can give some mild lift. Do you do any camping or anything to where utility racks might be beneficial?

    Does it run pretty smooth?

    Most of my recommendations would be what to remove so I'm out. :anonymous:

    I have rocklights and thank y'all for the comments (well some of y'all) what I think I'll do now is retrofit and grille insert and eventually get a pilfrey built bumper
