Under 50 buck mods;
Remember this is a regular cab and I am talking about 50 bucks or under for each mod.
Cell phone mount.
Chrome door handle covers.
Chrome tailgate handle cover.
Rear deflector (vent visor for the rear window)
Vent Visors.
Tailgate power lock.
Short antenna to clear garage door.
Homelink.
Chrome and satin Lariat A/C vets. I paid 46 and sold my black ones for 35.
Kleen wheels for front wheels to stop brake dust.
Express up/down for windows.
You can also put a hidden button in, with a simple control module that will run all your windows up or down or both for very little.
K&N air filter. (I have an AEM Brute Force now but just the air filter change was almost as good).
Remove the silencer if you drive a 4.6. Free mod.

WOW, thanks for all the responses. Allot of great ideas here.
02Thunder, I would like to hear more about actuating all 4 windows with one button. Is it an additional button? Can you still actuate the drivers windows aloan?
ChrisAdams, is the power tailgate lock a kit? If so where do I find it?
One more thing.
GO PISTONS!!!!

indyeng,
I have mine configured special. You use your index finger, depressing each button one at a time. It's wild man. Works really good when you set your elbow on it. Best of all its free. But you can charge all of your friends to try it out!
