Fuck the truck nuts, it seems mostly 1/2 ton owners have them, like they have a big truck or something??? I'd say 4wd is a must, vent visors, tool box, recovery strap, tow package, CB, good floor mats, cooler full of beer in the back at all times....

Since you gota new F150 I would say first thign is the exhaust. It runs so much nicer w/ a different exhaust and saves you about 200#. I have the Gibson exhaust but the Flowmaster cat back is nice too. Second would be the intake. Originaly I just went with the drop in K&N, but after driving in a frineds with the Airraid intake I ordered myself one. And last I would say a chip/tuner. The Superchips Micro max is probably the eisiest to use and allows you to change all kinda stuff (ie tire size, gears, shift pressure and speed limiter).

By the way what kinda tires did they put on yours? I got the damn Hancooks which are soon to go bye bye. Shitty traction and they wear so friggin wierd.

No 4X4. And I definately want new exhaust. The tires are michellin, and I think the VERY first thing I do is get a drop in bed-liner. I worry that the spray in will dent too easily. Anyone else agree/disagree with this?

Spray in is the way to go. The plastic one trap water/moisture beneath them and that = no good for metal. I say a trailer brake system so you can go out and buy a nice 30 ft. Baja boat or something and be able to tow it. hehehehe.
