Bored, Need some ideas

Spent a ton of money on kids for Christmas. So my fun money is NIL at moment.

Got any FREE or extremely cheap mods/ideas? I want to play with truck mod wise. Current list of mods is in signature link

I have a LED project I'm working on, but I'm keeping it under wraps until finished and I'm sure it isn't ricey

How about polishing your differential?
Have seen one guy doing it on his sporty Mercedes.
On small rally I had lot of fun watching grown up men dropping down in the dirt to admire it.

Thx, but no. Suspension is supposed to do work, not be shiny

Maybe I'll just through up the sun tent and spend a few hours waxing it

Was looking at your mods thread and when you modified the grill to take in more air, there is a plug with a cap on it mounted vertically below you cutout. Do you know what that is?

Maybe convert to all LED dash and switch illumination lights? I think I read a detailed list of where to get the parts on FTE - but it could be anywhere on the net. Just the research to get the inexpensive parts will keep you real busy.
