Are there any that you absolutely don't want to do or is anything game right at this point in time?

I use the front mounted hitch to put a large boat into a barely big enough storage unit. Works great
Cost is $150-175 and about 1 hour installation (with 2 guys). All of the big manufacturers sell the same hitch (DrawTite, Reese, etc.)

  1. TransferFlow fuel tank (extend the range of your truck)
  2. Coolant filter kit (keep that coolant clean and extend the water pump life)
  3. Mag-Hytec cover for the Sterling (if you tow, keeps the rear axle cooler)
  4. ARB lockers (true 4-wheel drive)
  5. Roof-mounted .50 cal (may attract law enforcement attention)
  6. Cute girlfriend for passenger seat (probably the best addition, IMHO)

In addition to the front-mounted receiver put a power connection there and in the back. Add a winch mounted on a hitch - and it can go front or back.

Upgrade audio, more lights, tint, toolbox, headache rack.

And something for the guy that has everything - - -

- - - wait for it - - - -

an alarm.

Ventvisors defelctors from AVS. Easy add on to do, and great in the rain. I like the in-channel tape on type.
