Hello from Illinois (St Louis area)

I just bought my first truck. Ok, that isn't true. I also have a 77 F250 but it is not drivable yet. So this is my first truck that I can actually drive after getting it.

It is a 2012 double cab with full bed. As you can see, she is completely stock. While I see a ton of newer models that I would be completely fine with off the showroom floor, this one leaves me wanting to make some changes. I bought it off my father-in-law, and it was a deal I couldn't pass on. Only has 58k on it.

First thing I am doing it upgrading the stereo so I can have navigation and a backup camera. I have already started that project and should be done soon. Trying to figure out the best way to route the camera cable to get it in the cab. I also already ordered some N-Fab Podium steps. I just don't like the stock runners. Near future plans are to replace the wheels and tires and put a leveling kit on it. Right now I am looking at KM722 wheels and 33/12.50/20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers after talking to a few people. I would be interested in any suggestions. After that I need to save up some more money before I can do other things like replace the front bumper for a heavy duty one. My father-in-law backed into something damaging the stock bumper. It made him mad to see how flimsy it was and so he replaced it with a beefier one. I think I would also like to replace the grill, maybe eliminating the chrome surround. And I am curious what black fender flairs would look like. white would not have been my first choice if I was buying new, but it is what I got. I know I might not be able to do everything I want as it is an older model, but from what I have seen so far, it looks like there is still a lot I can do to this.

This looks like a great forum and I am looking forward to reading about other people's trucks and what they have done and the tips and tricks they have learned.
