Actually i dont. My truck is stock, bone stock. No reason to change anything. It’s great the way it is.

I just got a chuckle out of a post on this forum being about "overcompensation" when we are constantly accused of the same thing. it's all about perspective.

yeah but you've seen pictures of all terrain tires and bed covers before. Mine's nothing special just added a couple things, and I may do a couple more things to it, too. You don't have to modify yours, but for me the truck is a tool and I'm happy to make that tool work better for me.

i love how people always go to the "overcompensation" trope. All of us in this forum drive massive trucks and lots of others will say we're overcompensating for something. For some, anything bigger or faster than a prius is proof positive of a lack of masculinity. I have a 3/4 ton 4x4 diesel and a 500hp convertible. Surely, I must have the tiniest manhood ever to grace the body of a 6'7" man. Or, I just like fast cars and big trucks and neither has anything to do with some perceived issue I have to make up for.
I just tell them i'm overcompensating for my tiny.....ego.

LOL. I had no idea some of the perspectives I would receive on this post. They have definitely opened my eyes for sure and maybe I'm thinking a too narrow mindedly. My trucks are tools. I can't imagine what he is accomplishing with that setup, but, again my perspective is very limited. When I was waiting on my furniture to get loaded into my truck, this thing backed up next to me. The picture really does its physical presence no justice. Anyway, all good! I just know there's no need or want to do anything like that to my truck, but to each their own.

One of my kids has a 1999 F250 7.3L that is all jacked up (with no steps) with big tires and after market wheels. He also has a big ol' black pipe coming up out of the truck bed right in line with the rear window. One of these days he's going to leave that window open when he "rolls coal" and I want to be around to see it! 
Anyway, I figure he's overcompensating for having too much money.
