    If you're going to use it like a truck, I would go with Weathertech floor liners. Keeps the mud and such off the carpet. Also, take off your mud guards if you're going to wheel. They will get caught while crawling.

    This. When you lift and change wheels and then change lift again in the future this will come in handy. It has for me :anonymous:

    My vote goes for a good jack and 4-way. Add gloves and rubber boots. Should fit into your budget. When you need a jack, the stock one on every vehicle I've ever owned sucked bad.

    I probably do light off-roading more than I've hauled things, though I plan on camping with my truck which involves hauling gear.

    Also, when you throw lots of muddy crap in your bed, it's much easier to take the bed mat out and pressure wash it on the ground, than stand in the bed and pressure wash out the bed floor.

    Another suggestion: a toolkit including a shovel and prybar. These items could be picked up from a lawn and garden shop inexpensively. You could paint them to match your truck for a wow factor. Also a good set of jumper cables. You could be set up quite well to help yourself or others in need for a couple hundred bucks.

    I was wondering about all this love for a mat until you said this.

    Even then, I don't understand. If it is heavy, I want to slide it instead of lift it. If I don't want it to move, I strap it down.
