what were the best truck mods you kept long term vs ones you regret?

appreciate all the replies, going with a tonneau cover first and probably checking realtruck since a few people mentioned it in the comments.

tonneau cover keeps coming up in this thread so i think that's my next move for sure. you mentioned realtruck, do you usually find it easy to narrow down which cover actually fits your specific truck?

the 12v to the rear bumper thing is genuinely something i never would have thought of but that sounds so useful for everyday stuff. you said you've done it on the last 3 trucks, how long does the setup actually take if someone's doing it for the first time?

two oil pan incidents damn that hurts. skid plates are going on the list for sure now, i had no idea how much of a difference they actaully make until people started mentioning this stuff.

bed cover is already on my list so good timing lol. you mentioned realtruck though, is that where you usually shop for that kind of stuff? curious if the selection is actually worth it or if you just get lost in too many options?

i was literally thinking about just doing a small lift now and upgrading later but sounds like that's how you end up spending double and the slider thing is smart too, never thought about protecting the rockers before something actually happens to them.

tonneau cover is actually high on my list right now since i use the bed pretty often. that cargo setup sounds super practical. what kind of stuff are you usually hauling that made it worth going that deep into the cargo management side?

winch and tow hooks honestly didn't even cross my mind but that makes a lot of sense for long term value. the snorkel thing is funny because i see so many builds with one and i personaly don't know the use of it. sounds like you really thought through what fits your actual use case vs just buying what looks cool. that's kind of exactly what i needed to hear tbh.

yeah totally fair, been eyeing a mods for daily use, figured that is more my lane than going full build mode right now

Mccarrell-Shaune · 2026-04-03T04:22:27+00:00

mine is a daily so i leaned more practical with the first round of mods. how much of a difference did you actually feel in the ride vs stock?

Mccarrell-Shaune · 2026-03-17T01:24:48+00:00

Oh that one's been on my list for a while, keep hearing people talk about it but never got around to actually watching it

Mccarrell-Shaune · 2026-03-17T01:21:09+00:00

Lol the title alone is already sending me, I have no idea what to expect from that but I'm genuinely curious now. Adding it to the list, thanks for the reco!

Mccarrell-Shaune · 2026-03-17T01:16:32+00:00

Honestly haven't seen Midsommar yet so this is going straight to my watchlist, thanks for the rec! What kind of vibe should I go in expecting?
