I like my setup, its not extreme but certainly offroad worthy. Mods added here and there. I started with the K&N dropin airfilter, and progressed to the airbox mod.
The Mcmaster Carr hood lift mod came soon after, and eventually an Airaid Quickfit to take its place, of which I ended up replacing the oiled filter with an AEM dry filter.

After that i added a Truc-tec tonneau cover for an awesome deal, and then added my Thule Fairing to the OEM crossbar. Added Weathertech side window air guards

I think not soon after I added the Nissan hood guard. Got a great deal from my dealer that i couldn't pass up at the time.

Then came an AC lift coils kit with longer bilsteins in the rear as well as replacing the front stock LE struts with bilsteins as well.

One of the first mods was actually to change out my radio. I had a Kenwood CD/Radio with 3+1 Minidisc changer in the dash.

I added a Nismo "Sport" sticker to the back. Some like them, some don't I like it. Its not an "offroad" poser, and since its an LE it is kind of the "sport" model like Fords do with their sport truck.

Some time after that I experimented with HID Plug n play lights, which I didn't like because I actully could not see as good with them; they had to be aimed way too high in order to see anything down the road. I then got some HID ebay lights, but again just couldn't see well at night with them. In Colorado at you sorta want to see the elk or mule deer in the road at night! Got rid of them all and went back to halogen PIAA Xtreme White Plus bulbs.

Pretty close together I think, I got the billet grill and the bullbar with the PIAA fogs not long after that.

Somewhere in here I added a WRP Intake Spacer. I tried out an Airaid TBS which I promptly got rid of due to loss of power, acceleration and mpg. Gained it all back after the TBS was gone.

Added a full Thule rack to OEM rack with my wind defector for multiple uses.

Lastly was all the upgrades of suspension, to the PRG advanced 4x4 kit, but with TC UCAs. I added a Superchips Coretex, Nissan Black/Gray Neoprene seat covers,
the Blue Gauges LED swap and a 1" body lift, new Nitto Terra Grappler tires and of course the wheels I won on here from Discount Tire!

How did you do the gauge light swap to blue? I hate the orange, already have replaced the radio to one that has blue but the cluster is just so ugly with the orange.

The truck looks good! Do you have a link to the McMaster-Carr Hood lift mod?
