-I made a CAI intake with parts from O'Reilleys for about $50.
-I am thinking of tinting the front two windows to match the back end for around $10 for some film (unless I can scrounge big enough scraps from the garage to make it a free install)
-I like the Spectre gauze air filter cuz it's about $30 and flows air from the sides and front too (and has a nice chrome end cap)
-Some heavy duty battery terminals are nice and less than $50.
-I took the nerf bars off and that was cost-free (except for having to listen to the wife complain now)
-The fog lights on with high beams mod costs about a buck for a diode
-A Uniden Pro520XL CB can be found for $35 on Amazon (might even find it w/antenna on for $50) to get you started.
-A T-Bar crank gets you a lift for free (if you do your own front end alignment)
-Convex stick-on mirrors for the blind spots cost about $5 and are greatly appreciated!

I'm sure there is more, but those are the things I've done or looked into.

I replaced factory horn with a dual horn system (same as my VW R-32)
They are much louder and under your required $50.00
For such a formidable truck the stock horn gets no ones attention or respect.

Fire extinguisher and on board toilet paper roll, they need not be used in conjunction with eachother. One can save your life, the other can save your pants.

Under $50:

- I had my rear view mirror moved as far up as possible to increase the overall view out of the windshield. ($15)

- Torsion Bar crank (free unless you have to buy the socket or wrench and you will need an alignment after and that will cost more than $50)

- Daystar Dashstar (30 something dollars)

- Painting your wheels (Cost: Paint, Primer, sandpaper and time)

- Changing the position of the rear wiper from 3:00 to 2:00 (FREE)

- Fire extinguisher ($25 bought 2 one front, one rear)

- First Aid Kit ($5-$40 depending on the kit)
