    Sound proofing my cab and doors was by far the best thing I've done. I got in on a group buy and got a pack of the Shok Industries sound proof mats were a $100 if I recall correctly.

    Just removing the tin can sound from my door when they shut make all the difference to me.

    Also, swapping from bench to bucket seats, each seat was a $100 and those are fantastic by comparison.
