You know, sometimes you just have scratch that itch to do a mod to your truck. i work from home so often have some extra time to tinker with my truck. just wanted to share a couple of the small mods ive done to "get my fix" lol

mag light mounting kit, lol...couple of bucks.


picked these up today. i used the exact same ones a few years ago on an old truck i had. got em at harbor freight for $8.99...SCORE! they will be going on next weekend. goin fishin this weekend


mounted foglights behind the grill guard



haha and trimmed and mounted an old emblem i had

 

what mods have you done that are cheap?

 

thats sick! I was thinking about doing the cab light thing but I'm just worried moisture will get In and cause rust! plus me and wiring = no no haha

 

The cab lights are easy, just make sure you measure twice before you drill. Only one wire hooks to each light, they ground through the cab. I did them before and never had an issue with leaking. Very easy mod to do.

 

Now days a $50 or less mod is about a half tank of gas.

 

ive done a few.

-vht nightshades on my lights
-blue led license plate lights
-cheap line of fire off ebay which is now completely burnt out in less than 6 monthes...


and my favorite was the non slip type pads for my dash, little cubby hole under steering wheel, and the pockets on my doors. i took some of my moms old floor mats and cut them out in the shape. the little "pegs" on the bottom that usually goes into the carpet to keep them from sliding around does a pretty good job of keeping my iphone from sliding from one side of my dash, hitting the small hump and going airborn into my window when going around a turn. ask me how i know!

 

haha i love when people get in the truck and set **** on the dash, it alwas ends up scattering everywhere, that hump is like a ramp

 

Thats what im saying. It does a pretty good job now. Between my case and the pad it usually doesnt move a whole lot which is a good thing because i usually have it plugged into my radio playing music and my cord isnt long enough for it to reach any farther.

Half asleep one morning, sat my phone there ( the one day i didnt have my case on it) took a sharp turn and across the cab it goes! Sure am glad my window was up!

 

Great mod though, i would say id do it but my mom would flip **** if i just started cutting up her rugs LOL

 

We used moms old ones. The design on the front was faded and she got new ones

 

haha very cool....keep em coming

 

installed my cb, i had bought years ago! works awsome too! um, for under 50$........car wash and an air freshener lol, i really wanna install those chicken lights tho, they look awsome. i will be going to harbor freight tommorow!

 

Well, for $50...You be like every chevy guy out there and go to Wal-Mart and get one of each thing in the auto accessory aisle....

For $50...Hmmm

A seat Cover...
Steering wheel cover
Floormats
Fog/Driving lights
Headlight or taillight covers
Rainguards
Badging
A license plate and frame
Shifter ****
Door lock pulls
Open Cone Filter and the hose to do a CAI
Doodads for the engine bay
Split loom
3rd brake light cover
A valance like mine from www.Partsgeek.com....That'll include the shipping to!
A pair of turn signals like mine from www.truckviva.com....they have free shipping...

There's a small list....

 

I think i have less than $50 into my exhaust, cut out the 2nd cat and put a glasspack in its place, bought some new pipe and a 90 to put it out in front of the rear tire and used some scrap plate i had some bolts and an old chunk of sidewall for a hanger.

Better than stock but i dont really like how a glasspack sounds on a 300, might spend more than 50 when i redo it.

 

This is one i did for around $20
$6 for a yard of blanket like camo fabric
Can of 3M spray adhesive
Staple gun i had in the garage
