Well, since the powers at be merged like three threads together, I should rewrite this part. List your favorite mods that you’ve done! Maybe show your favorite inexpensive mod, list them all, this is the place!

Increasing the Idle Speed (and a 2-Degree Timing...

Did the idle bump to my truck using the CVTz50 app, thanks to a few FB buddies for finding this hack and confirming that I would want it on a manual transmission. I thought I would probably want to but wasn't sure. I ended up bumping the idle from the base target rpm of 625, using the +175 to...

Easily the best low buck mod I've done. Cost me $30.

Love these mirrors! I wasn't sure about them but hated the small factory mirrors so I gave them a try. Ironically, I'll never look back 🤣

Favorite under $300 are probably both my cb and my gmrs. Together they're under $300. I just think they're neat, and were fun to install.

That's coming this spring, along with "tailgate down" indicator...I donated my viair compressor to the gutter at some point during a road trip this winter because either my gate didn't latch properly or I left it down altogether.

ouch. Viair's are nice.

Buddy of mine lost two heavy duty wheel dollys the other day in the same fashion on the way home from buying them. I haven't lost anything yet, fingers crossed

I'd probably have to say the idle bump/timing advance as well, especially because I can't really think of anything else I've done that costs less than that price point.

Sylvania Silverstar headlight bulbs. Didn’t want to do LEDS, but wanted something brighter with more reach down the road and on the sides. These were perfect, 1.5 years later and every time I drive at night I still think to myself how glad I am I swapped them😂

 

[NCalFrontier]

Not sure if this thread is for engine “mods” only but I’ve been extremely happy with my ORG hood struts and hikeit x9 throttle controller. I think throttle controller cost me just a hair over $100 when they were running a holiday sale.

Katana LED headlight bulbs and vent visors. I can see and I can roll down a window and not get blown all around.

 

[cuda383]

Katana FTW!

 

[Iffin'itaintbroke]

+1 on the hood struts and ventvisors

Good choice. Everybody goes on about how good LED's are, but mine have failing fans and I've had people complain that I'm blinding them when I'm behind them, so I'll be going back to Halogens soon.

Reflector housings aren't meant for LED's period. Putting them in contributes to the ever increasing trend of people putting blinding light accessories on their vehicles. I see Heeps driving around with light bars on, and I wanna punch 'em. Same goes for Carolina squatted trucks with their headlights aimed into the sky. Inconsiderate.

Auto-dimming Mirror. NO idea why this isn't a standard feature on a "tech package" truck yet.

 

[D13FrontierLE]

I would say hood struts, horn upgrade, LED headlight bulbs. All three at or under $100.

Recovering the crappy rubber armrest on the center consoles on both my trucks. Cost me like $8 & about 10 minutes of my time.

 

[skramer360]

I'd have to say for me it was the auto dimming homelink mirror with temperature and my stubby antenna. Since I got the mirror at a salvage yard, both together were less than $50.

I did this too! With black fleece so my dog wouldn't destroy it. When she's less bouncy I'm getting it and my door panels padded and upholstered with matching fabric
