Must Have Accessories

What do you guys consider as must have accessories? I’m new to the wonderful world of truck ownership; I have the SCab, XLT, 5.4, with the tow package, 6.5 bed. The accessories I currently have are the Ford Drop-in Bed liner, tinted windows, bug guard, and door rain guards. (All of these were dealer installed) Also have an alarm, and window etching, the F-150 is a popular item to be borrowed in Texas I guess. I was considering running bars.
Anyway, interested in hearing what you guys think are must haves.

Thanks!

For me, my must-haves are the spray in liner and my Undercover hard tonneau. Love them both!

I was thinking about the spray in,and may change someday, but with the drop in being all but given to me, hard to say no.

IF YOU GAVE ME A DROP IN BEDLINER I'D BE PISSED. THE TRASHMAN WILL NOT TAKE THEM OFF THE CURB.

ONCE YOU HAVE A LINE-X YOU WILL UNDERSTAND. NOTHING ELSE WILL DO.

Line-X is the stuff to have it seems. I'll have to check them out. Like I stated, I am new to the truck world.

bedliner, bugshield, side-window deflectors, all-weather vinyl floor mats, splash guards, remote start, Lo-Jack, and if you don't want your doors all messed up I'd strongly suggest buying some side trim moulding or you'll have all kinds of doors opened into the side of your new truck.

That problem can be solved with running boards as that will be the first thing their door hits.

The first accessory I added was a black dash mat to eliminate the terrible reflections from the light grey dash top.
Around noon it was like driving around in a light mist.
Second was the Daystar 2.5" front lift.

My Must Haves

Dual Exhaust ( I got in the truck and couldn't tell if it was even running. NOT GOOD )
Linex bed liner ( Rhino lining is to soft for me. Chips and nicks way more then Linex)
2 1/2 " Daystar Comfort Ride
BFG MT 35/12.5 R 18
Airaid Intake System
Alpine CD/MP3 player CDA-9833 (deck comes with 60X4. Enough to power the front speakers )
JBL P550c 5 1/4" two ways
Rockford Fosgate Power 851S
www.subbox.net 2 10" sub box
MTX Thunder 8000 10" subs

Thats all I can think of for now. I've only had my truck a week so give me some time and I'll get back to you with more Must haves.
