Anything I wished for aftermarket products took care of it.

OHC, tires, grille, cd player...pretty much every mod I did.

Actually no....I'll agree with you on the rear window. I wish mine opened

I tried very much to order a mini version of my lightning. But just could'nt. (And I've got connections inside Ford too)

I'd have like to see a 2wd 4.0L short bed version. Or better yet something like the Thunderbolt build a few years ago.

But as far as the FX4 I have.. not much really. I'd like to have seen a map light (like on the 92 S-10 I had), I'd like to have seen the tremor option available with the bench seat (which I need sometimes), and maybe some HID headlights / fog lights.

Otherwise... it's got everything I need.

Electric Windows/Locks should almost be standard equipment nowadays. But it doesn't even come standard on any of the Ranger except the Level2s (correct me if I'm wrong).

Also, I'd like to see the rear side windows open as well as an option for the rear window to [roll down] (for lack of a better term)... Like the Tundras-- or at least I'd like to see it as an option on the F-150s and Superdutys.

Oh, and I like the idea of a Supercab Long bed.

A Level 2 with some 32x11.50-15s, Alcoa's, and Torsens Front and Rear would be awesome!
