I vote for a Ranger Toolbox. Fits between the bed rails and most only come to the height of the top of the bedrails.


would be practically hidden, and really useful

Appearance wise, your truck looks amazing AS IS!

Don't add anything else to the exterior, IMHO!

It looks Awesome the way it sits. Anything else added will detract....

I'm going to say weathertechs then HID's as well. Truck looks great outside, would hate to see the carpet get ruined inside.

maybe I'm alone on this, but I think the stock grill painted black looks a bit cheesy. roush has a natemare grill that's billet aluminum, painted black. That would look waaaay better imo.

you can't go wrong with a black diamond plate box. I have a regular height, but the low-pro looks better. I'd stay away from a ranger box, cause you lose all 2' of your bed. The ones made for a full size will hang, still allowing you to fit long stuff under it.

Thanks for the kind words, gentlemen. I've put a lot of work into her. Metcalfe, that is a sweet grille. Plus it's already painted so I won't have to worry about chipping. Thanks for showing me that!



Made a rough tally so far:

Grille: 2.5
Box : 3
HIDs: 10
Mats: 5



I think if I do get a grille now it will be the Nitemare billet to be a little different. I was going to toss custom tunes from PHP into the mix, but I'm doing that at the beginning of summer anyways. I think I'm going to hold off on the box for now. May pick it up over the summer as well. Looks like it's down to HIDs and the Weather Techs.

A toolbox doesn't have to look that bad. I really use mine a lot too.

Here's a shot of a Lariat Chrome grille w/PTM surround. Looks alot like a Roush Grille.

I took my toolbox off.. Im only 5'6" so i had to jump in my bed to access it..BIG PITA for me..Might want to think about a FX2 grille and have it painted. Looks like the painted roush grills aren't holding up to rock chips to well..

Oh yeah and here's a shot of some weatherTechs.

I would go with a low profile box, WeatherTechs, and the grille.

Ever thought about FX2 or Harley head lights?

As much trouble as I've heard about people have with HID's I'd steer clear of them.

He already has painted headlights...What problems do people have with HID's? Looks like a good quality set is problem free.
