Best Modifications Under $50

I tied into the PTO wire on the passenger kick panel. Its orange and green if I remember correctly. Its always on with the ignition. I ran out of time trying to source a power point for lights on action, but I honestly don't even notice it until the sun sets. I'll find a source this weekend if I have time.
Just remember if you use a loose LED, you need to put some resistance on the cathode side so you don't prematurely burn them out. I think I used a 480 ohm, youll need to figure it out based on the forward voltage of the specific LED you use.....OR, just buy a pre-wired 12v LED and you dont have to worry about any of that.

Added LED Bolt Lights on two of the running board brackets on each side. I used to have 3 on each side, but the new Crew Cab running board brackets aren't evenly spaced out, for some reason. So 2 on each side will do. $11.99 each from Oznium.com (11mm, Amber, 3W Stainless Steel)....so just under $50 but dang they look nice!

DOM tubing. Cut 10 3/4" pieces and used the original 8 bumper bolts. Had to get 4 longer bolts for the corner brackets. If you loosen all the bolts and then remove the ones you are working on it only takes about 30 minutes to install them.

#4 LED underglow light strips connected to the plugs on each side below the truck. Lights up when opens door then fades out when door closes. Might be a little blingly for some, but you will never loose anything under the truck in the dark.
Plug adapters HERE
the light strips HERE I did use small 3m double sided tape to secure them better than the basic adhesion on the strip, HERE

A little disappointed in the link for the plug adapters for the step bar lighting...I purchased what was linked on the amazon link and they do not fit the plugs on the truck...I am in no way an electrician so not sure what I need now...any help? Pics of installs would be a nice bonus
Just cut the connector off and install your own push connectors. Super easy and takes like 5 mins per side. You really dont even need connectors. Just solder them and shrink tube it and call it a day.

Word of warning - DO NOT get the stainless models I got. Multiple sets failed within 3 months and Oznium confirmed I wasn't the only one. The stainless doesn't dissipate the heat well enough and they overheat. Theyre reworking the design - in the mean time the black aluminum no lens models are PERFECT.

Hey! So I had been planning to add these when I started doing all the accessories on the truck - when I put the updated harness in for my Magnum rack, I spliced in a ground and a hot to the running light circuit in the Magnum harness, with these two wires coming out of the bundle right behind the cab. I connected the bolt LED's into this so that they are marker lights. Using FORScan, I made the change to have my DRL be parking lights, which includes the bolt lights.

I purchased a set of J hooks for one side of my Box link mounts.
These work great, albeit a bit loose, to hold my 'grandpap stick'/getter.

I used some old pool noodles for anti-rattle.
