Are you asking for the three mods we'd most like to do, or the first three we've actually done? Because the two are quite different for me, and very dependent on how much I have to spend at the time. I try to balance what I can afford at the time with the best bang for the buck. I realize I can save up for the more expensive things, but I couldn't just drive it completely stock until I saved enough for what I really wanted. ;) Both lists are below...

First 3 mods I did:
1. B2 Fabrications muffler
2. Exhaust tips
3. Throttle controller

First 3 mods I really wanted to do:
1. Full cat-back exhaust
2. Aftermarket tires and wheels
3. Mopar CAI

I think listing it that way is fine. I know when I first looked at getting my truck it was stressful trying to figure out where my money should go based on value vs function for mods. I JSU thought it might help,others to see the mods that most are happiest with in case they are on the fence with their own list.

Then I honestly think my truck will be done.

I guess my top 3 would be:

1. Leer truck cap.
2. Side steps
3. Cover king neoprene seat covers

My truck is mostly used for working, so the cap keeps my tools secure, the steps make it easier to get up and down, and the 100% neoprene seat covers keep my seats from being ruined with mud and sawdust.

My favorite "looks" mods are my Steal Your Face hitch cover and my dog paw center console lid cover.

In my younger days, it was always Tint - Rims - Sound system.
The truck already has nice 22" wheels, and a 19 speaker sound system, so I didn't need to mod those.
So I went with:
1. Ceramic Coating.
2. Driver/passenger window tint (20% to match rear).
3. Hardwire radar detector.

Grape Ape - what speakers did you replace? The base speakers or the alpine ones? If alpine just wondering how much improvement you have seen with the kickers vs the alpine dash speakers. Thanks!

Alpine dash speakers were replaced with the kickers. I felt like it provided the system with a lot more clarity. It's perfect now imo. Really deep bass w/ crystal clear vocals.

As quiet as the Gen 5 is... exhaust is #1, and anything else is a distant second...

1. 8.4 to 12 inch unconnect radio install
2. Passive entry
3. changed interior lights, and third brake light to LEDs

Other things I did was tint, tonneau cover, wheels, fender flares and Linex bed liner. Still need to do power steps, leather seats, new tires, exhaust, possibly sport hood, and upgrade headlights and taillights to LEDs.
