hanging tree shaped airfreshner.... $2.00
i think the tax i paid on my chrome locking gas cap wuz less than 50.
i made brackets to lower my steps so the're useful for abt 35 and 20 hours of hard labor, lets see what else,
-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.

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)
