Best Modifications Under $50

Is the work because it is tight? Oh and your mat behind the coin area looks turned wrong. lol
FYI I saw on F150 forum where somebody got a black handle and added it to the middle to make taking it out easier. That was the biggest complaint I saw on reviews.

Yes, it is a tight fit to get between the two sides. Once in, not a problem. I have taken it out a few times as my wife likes to hide her purse under it. Reason why the mat is turned the wrong way.

That's a good question. I first ran the wire across the fire wall. Bad idea. The wire loom melted.
I ended up running it to the front of the engine and across the radiator. That's been good. Amazing that the up-fitter connections are on opposite side of the pass-throughs.

You put wire loom back on ? and ran through on top of radiator or behind? I was not sure if there was a way to run under gasket along underneath wipers n vents?
I'll have to look when I get off shift. I never used resistors so this is a new one for me. Thx
Also what wires did you put 20k in between. Confused....do I connect 20k to wire white/violet and connect to a pass through wire then run that pass through wire to upfitter 4. Push park brake then flip upfitter 4 and shpuld be good??? thx

So my last truck we had one of these threads going and you wouldn't believe how many amazing mods you can do for cheap. It probably cost me more money than anything else. I searched and didn't find anything here, so we'll give it a go.
Post anything awesome you've done to your truck for under $50. I'll start with a few:
Stubby Antenna: $25
http://www.amazon.com/ORIGINAL-1999-...for+ford+f-250
Plasti-dipped Side Emblems: $6 for a can of Plastidip
BuiltRight Driver side seat release: $33
http://www.builtrightind.com/product...r-seat-release
Console Organizer: $30
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-Interi....c100005.m1851

i don’t understand the seat release ? What is it’s application?
also the organizing tray, what happens with all the space below— you have to lift that entire tray out or does it slide into some space?

Was waiting to see one of these threads. The one on the F150 forums site was a fun read. Best thing I did was to get 1 month of amazon prime for free and order all this stuff.
#1 tailgate shock, IMO best mod you can do, under $30 HERE
#2 Toughskins superduty letter inserts under $50 for each set front and rear
#3 unpainted mirror cover caps from ebay HERE and got them painted to match the oxford white, $25 each, gives it the platinum look, ish... either way I like the look.
#4 LED underglow light strips connected to the plugs on each side below the truck. Lights up when opens door then fades out when door closes. Might be a little blingly for some, but you will never loose anything under the truck in the dark.
Plug adapters HERE
the light strips HERE I did use small 3m double sided tape to secure them better than the basic adhesion on the strip, HERE
#5 Rear LED lights hooked to a switch mounted on my hitch (these do not fog up like others I bought and mounted in my grill) HERE
#6 A 40$ switch panel to control all the lights and other things (you all have up fitters so I made downfitters in a little box I custom built to fit in the floor) Panel HERE
#7 a cell phone cradle that clips on my vent from autozone for $10
#8 a remote bass **** to adjust my subwoofer levels on the fly (rest of the stereo was well above 50) HERE
I also have Interior and wheel well lights for under 50 bucks I just don't remember the link I used to get them, they are controlled on the switch and not door activated. Turns out I never use them, maybe next summer on the beach or something.
Here is the above $50 list just to break the thread rules
Coverking kryptek typhoon seat covers
Zone dual steering stabilizer
2.5" lift
35" tires & rockstar rims
bushwhacker flares
12" sundown audio woofer in custom underseat box & rockford p500 amp
weathertech front and rear floor mats (BUY HUSKY INSTEAD, it is impossible to scrub these things clean..)
front window tint @ 20$ (was $75 laser cut and installed)
Some pics of some of the things.
