    Hey Everyone,
    I am curious as to know what everyone’s first mods were when they got their truck, and what are easy “budget” mods? Exterior or mechanical. Thanks in advance, and look forward to hearing what everyone says. Post pics if ya want! Thanks.

    My very first, low cost mod, was a Bluetooth OBD2 reader and OBD Fusion software... wanted to monitor transmission temps when towing (using an iPad and the custom dashboard feature).

    I would have to disagree with some of the other poster on what they call "budget" mods because window tint and and Weathertech floor mats aren't cheap. I would venture that anything under $50 budget and anything over an investment. That said, some of my investment items can be done with some financial scutiny with proper searching, patience, and DIY creativity.

    Here's what my budget mod list was:

    Vehicle OCD console tray
    Vehicle OCD console divider
    Vehicle OCD glove box shelf
    Wind deflectors ( In Channel Window Vent Visors )
    MESO Gasshole
    Dual 12V & Dual USB Charger
    Custom StartUp Image
    Entune Touch Screen Protector with Anti-Scratch/Glare
    Sun Visor Organizer With Anti-Slip Woven Elastic Straps
    Center Console Cover Protector
    A/C Drain Mod
    Blue Bullet Style Tire Valve Cap
    Rear Receiver w/ Shackle Hitch D-Ring
    3D Glove Box Letters
    Interior Dashboard Blackout Kit
    Door Sill Inserts
    Shift Indicator Vinyl

    Check my Build Thread for details ( click on image ).
