    Happy Friday everyone. If you had a spare $100 laying around what mod(s) or items would you buy for your truck? Haven’t added anything to the rig lately and figured I’d see what you guys would do or anything I may not have even thought about.

    Yeah
    Clutch accumulator delete is the best mod I've done to my truck period, it was an order of magnitude under your price point (I think I've got 12 bucks in it including the bottle of fluid from which I needed a teaspoon worth to top off)

    I have been looking at these. Put 265 70 17s with zero offset on my truck recently. Had to remove stock flaps due to rubbing. Now it sounds like someone is peppering the truck with buckshot everything I get off my gravel road onto the main road.

    I got both about a month ago. Bed mat was def. a game changer with the composite bed. Dont have to climb up to the head of the bed to grab anything that may have slid up. Still need to throw my hood struts on though. Mind boggling that these were not standard equipment. My stripped down work truck has them for pete's sake.

    Do you personally run one? Any recommendations. The garmin mini seems to be close to the price point.

    I’ve got a Garmin mini. Bought a dongle, short usb cable, and an sd card just about $100, It was a while ago, though. But no problems with it

    Gasshole is one I like, and/or the Meso LED upgrades inside the cab. Also the organizers for the center console and the glove box. Lastly, weather tech or similar floor liners.

    I do have one but it’s no longer available on Amazon, they’ve got newer models. I checked and don’t even see the brand on there anymore. This one looks similar but I’d suggest getting one that has built in wireless connection for your phone as well. They are also nice on trails- https://www.amazon.com/Driving-Recorder-G-Sensor-Recording-Detection/dp/B09B7FDLC2?dchild=1&keywords=apeman+dash+cam&qid=1628263815&sprefix=apeman&sr=8-19-spons

    Springfield Hellcat. Couldn't think of one truck mod under $100 that I really use.
