Hey, just got my L a few weeks ago. I'm trying to make the first mods the ones that will increase the lifespan of the drivetrain. I'm trying to anyway, even though a 4# lower and tune aren't far in the future. And intake plenum, and ported blower, and... anyway, I digress.

So here's what I have so far:
From LFP:
Oil seperator
Fuel Filter (probably never been changed at 15K miles)
Bedrug (to protect the bed, plus looks good!)

OK, and a LFP intake, I had to get something for performance!

Also a tranny cooler from Chickenears. I'll be doing some towing so I figured this would be good.

Also got some Nitto 555's, because the stock F1's where almost slick and poorly balanced.

Also, I plan on getting a FTVB, bigger tranny pan, and replacing the drivetrain with fresh Amsoil full synthetic fluids. (Not trying to get into a "which oil is better" thread, this is just what I use.)

Anything else ya'll can think of I should get done, before I start the HP/TRQ mods?

I change my fuel filter every other oil change. Those little things plug up quick. You'll probably want to invest in some traction bars early on to prevent axle wrap. A 160 tstat and a bigger intercooler reservoir might not be a bad idea either.
