honestly if he is a true off roader and loves to do a lil mud bogging or forgging the river he will love a snorkle it sucks in some clean dry air and gives him the fun of flooring it into a river without the big fear of inhaling some wet stuff. Also if he has room in his bed you can get him a spare tire rack with the exact same tire and rim he has on his truck. There is nothing worse then having 3 rims and a dougnut, or having to get someone to walk back to town to get help so you can crawl your way home. good luck!

And i agree with frdrngrlvr the crotch rocket sound is really annoying and deosn't sound powerfull at all. But it doesn sould alot like the 2 stroke yard trimmer i use to clear weeds.

haha, thats more like it. yard trimmer, thats great! i just don't get it. i guess i was just brought up around big bad small and big blocks. now thats a good sound. the sound of a harley now thats music to my ears. i have to say, i like your gift ideas but if he has a 4wd that sounds like a "yard trimmer" i doubt he'd like this cool stuff!

To be honest I have no idea why some people think the import sound is anywhere near the tradition muscle car sound. I love to rev up my mustang in front of him just for fun...I told him lifting and putting bigger tires on would really suck the life out of his truck but you how certain guys are in one ear out the other!!!

*raises hand slowly* yup know those guys...lol. The ricer sound just doesn't cut it with me. The little high pitch weakling noise or the guys who just hack their mufflers off of their little four banger cars.
Old 'vettes and 'stangs. THAT's music to my ears.

I personally prefer the second idea. Big bumps are the most fun!

yeah lowering duallys is now like the new fronteer of the lowerd truck world. Like i was planning on maybe doing a dually addaption on my 87 ranger and lower it. But i have decieded a long time ago when i started dropping my truck to whip rice *** that i would never go as far a cutting the bed to lay frame. becasue i feel that at that point i acctually hendering my performance then helping, not alone stopping myself from going over speed bumps lol. But i think i am one of the only people that has lowerd there truck and still uses it for towing. I mean there is nothing like pulling a lowerd truck and matching pop up to a camp ground or a show because i don't have to sit in the car 90 degree events woooo!!!!

haha nice, love the lowrider towing.

I would say cutting the bed for frame is just a little extreme...maybe that's just me though.

yeah even though i have carpeted and cap the back i still love have the bed to through things and store things in and having a big chunk missing sucks when i want to fill the bed with lumber or the yearly christmas tree

but back to topic....the rino liner is a really good ideal specailly if he has it toned to match the truck color. Also if he is into the clean look you can get him one of those ultimate car care kits. Or you can always do like my girlfriend offers and buy yourself something nice (wink wink) that i am sure he will like it. good luck
