For those of us ordering trucks we have time before we get them. What should we buy/get to have when the big day arrives?

For those who have their trucks what accessories/mods should be done first? (What did you buy/do?).

Let's get these must-have's identified for those of us who need to know

 

My list of stuff done so far;

Before arrival I had these in hand;

Tonneau cover - undercover ultra flex
Vent visors - AVS Ultra slim
Hood deflector - Ford
Bed mat - Ford
console organiser - Ebay OCD
Tailgate lock

After it was here;

Front bumper 3M wrap
Front windows tinted 50%
Drop shank for my weight distribution hitch

After my first trip next week;

Toyo Open Country ATs
Level (undecided on raising front or lowering rear)

 

Thanks - great list!

How much does it cost to wrap the front bumper? If it's a color wrap will it cost more?

 

I can tell you're excited lol!

Things I did the first week I had it:

General Grabber 35x12.50's
Front window tint
Amp and 2x10in subs behind the rear seat
Aries Floor mats
LED Headlights
Access Vanish Tonneau
Platinum Gauge Cluster upgrade
Lots of Forscan stuff
LED pods hooked up to upfitter switches

First month:
Tuned Fox shocks
2.5 level lift

 

First mods should be front window tint (assuming the rear windows come tinted from the factory), rear wheel well liners (since they dont come with them from the factory) and tonneau cover(nice to keep your stuff secure and dry, I went with the Pace Edwards Ultragroove)!

After that do what you please but the 3 listed above are a must have.

 

do not pass go do not collect $200 without floor mats. i bought weathertechs.


i have two very little, very messy girls so i also immediately got seat covers


after that it was bed mat, tool boxes, transfer tank and grill guard. now i'm all set

 

First Month I've added:

• Truxedo Truxport tonneau cover. The first one I bought (Extang Tuff Tonneau) didn't fit
• 20% Tint up front
• Moto-Gate net. Cheap alternative to a bed extender, but easy to use and store. Also can somewhat be used as a cargo net to keep stuff towards the tailgate if the item is large enough i.e. cooler.
• Grabbed the letter inserts from the tufskin place that I've heard alot about on this forum. They come in this saturday.
• Mudflaps/splash guards - I grabbed the weathertec ones as they're no drill install and they're cheap compared to the rubber ones out there. They seem to do their job, but I haven't had them all too long.
• Line-X bedliner

On my list to get:

• New wheels and tires, the 18's mine came with don't seem to fill the wheel well as nice as I'd like. I should have opted for the 20s but when ordering there were only 20s on the lot so I didn't think to much of it.
  • I think I narrowed it down to the Helo HE835 and 285/65R20 BFG K02
• The dually rear ID lights because they just look nice.
• Floor Liners and wheel well liners come fall time.
• Skid plates for the fuel tank and transfer case once a less costly one is available. In hindsight I should have ordered the truck with them, but I forgot during the order process and when I finally realized I thought they'd be equally as cheap to order outright. They were not, so I wait.

 

Within the first couple weeks:

Line-X bed liner
Amp Research bed step & side step
BakFlip MX4 bed cover
Gatorback mud flaps
Tailgate damper

 

1. Linex liner
2. ForScan for bambi mod and double beep delete

6. 90* grease gun head if you have a F450.
7. Kit to mount 12 pin tpms/camera connector in the bed.

 

Before it even leaves the dealership:

BDS 2" leveling kit W/ Fox 2.0 shocks
Fuel wheels W/ Nitto Ridge Grappler 295/65r20's
Remote access & vehicle security kit

At home waiting:
rear brake light under tailgate

My front bumper was done for $325 Canadian. I also picked up some D Ring shackles to make hooking up safety chains easier and then had them and my hitch pin powdercoated semi-gloss black. IMO they look better and blend into the hitch better so they don't stand out.

 

Had bed sprayed with custom liner
New Curt Q20 5th wheel
Ford Mudflaps
Husky X-Act floorliners front and rear
BakFlip MX4 cover
