$50 Mods?

I've had a $50 Amazon giftcard laying around for a while and decided that I'm going to spend it on my truck, while I wait to get it lifted and new rims/tires.

Any solid mods under $50? I already have a Pop and lock, nice AC knob and a couple other small things in the same range. I'm just wondering if anybody has any ideas as to what I can do.

 

$40 SaBellCo 2005-2015 Tailgate Lock - Anti-Theft Locking Device v2.3- Black - for Toyota Tacoma

https://www.amazon.com/SaBellCo-2005-2015-Toyota-Tacoma-Tailgate/dp/B01HBZDOI6 give it a look, gonna get one myself here pretty soon, these tailgates get stolen all the time.

 

shit, did not read to see that you have pop and lock, my bad. Still, good mod haha.

 

maybe led interior dome lights, etc? they are amazing. also, stubby antenna or a funny decal is a good, solid choice to me

 

I already did interior LED lights and had licence plate lights as well. Which unfortunately just went out after 6 months because I drive at night way more than I do during the day.

 

hmmm, what about...

$19 49" 2-Row Truck Tailgate Light Bar Strip - [Brake, Turn Signal, Running, Reverse Backup] - Weatherproof LED Flexible No-Drill - 5 Feature Tail Lights for Pickup Trucks - 1yr Warranty [49"]

https://www.amazon.com/2-Row-Truck-...709460&sr=1-10&keywords=tailgate+light+bar+48 I will be doing one shortly, plugs into trailer pin hookup.

 

I got a couple of the screw type hose clamps for about $5 for the pair at an auto parts store. Came with a specific “key” not a screwdriver or socket type fastener. May not be as rugged as this one, but will probably go almost as far for protection.

 

That doesn't sound right, my lights are on whenever my truck is on and I haven't burned out a bulb in 3-4 years, I drive 500-700 miles/week.

 

I've been seriously considering one of those, but I kinda want to do it once I take my roof rack off and lift it.

 

I love my

$32 Tow Ready 63044 Receiver Mount Tow Hook

Tow Ready 63044 tow hook; $25. I can invert it and use it to raise the rear of my truck with my Hi-lift.
Tow/Recovery strap.
Tools - breaker bar, sockets, pliers, hammer, shovel, even a cheap jerry can.
The list can be endless...

 

They were cheap-o LED lights from Amazon. I contacted their warranty people and they never got back to me, so I just switched back to the stock ones till I can sort something else out.

 

do it! they look slick, and are really rare on tacomas I have come to find.

 

I've got a ton of tools and a couple tow straps. I don't overland or do very serious offroading, mainly just dirt roads to be honest.

 

I've got to check the codes, but once I do that I might do it.

 

Ram mount pilller mod..super easy an convient love mine.ya

 

Do you have a decent set of jumper cables, or recovery straps/ tow straps. If you dont have those , then skip the mods till you have the above.

 

Buy a good head lamp. You can’t see at night without a light.

I have a similar device, and love it. A little more than $50, but dirt cheap by comparison to others like it.
