DP Tuner or TS Performance for chip, rims/tires: depends on individual taste & purpose, exhaust: 4" MBRP or Magnaflow, intake: either Ford AIS or AFE Pro Guard 7 (K&N useless for a diesel), no need for a steering stabilizer unless using over 40" tires... check my sig and others here for what they have done to their rigs.

Exhaust, air intake and a programmer are the first 3 I would do........ you'll notice a big different in just those 3.......... then you can move on the "cooler" and more expensive upgrades...... injection....etc......

I have complete 4" magna flow, stage one AFE intake and bullydog programmer set to +75 HP......... but that's just me.....

Lets see here...

DP-Tuner Chip, 4" MBRP, Kwik Filter (nappa drop in filter), Wicked Turbo Wheel, Gauges, Custom Light bar, LightForce 240s, Yakima Rack, CB, RAM Laptop Mount, Pioneer AVIC-N1 (Nav, DvD, Sirius etc)

Those are probably the main ones you would be interested in, I also have made a removable box that allows me to turn my EX into an RV. With the spare tire out I can fit a California Queen in the back with plenty of storage, electricity (1,200W) and cooking power.
