One of my best cheap mods was undercoating the rear wheel wells. $4/can at wal-mart.

I bought my billet rings on eBay. The seller that I bought them from is always selling them, so you should have no problem find a pair on eBay.

What about those Harley pedals? The ones on ebay say they are for 97-03. What about the 04s?

I just ordered them from UPR Products. The guy on e-bay was $8 more and had a 1-2 week waiting time because they are made to order.

I think if you order from UPR you only get one cup holder ring for $22. Whereas the ebay auction for $30 is for a pair.

Why would you want to do that?

High beams just reflect more light off the fog anyways, so it would not help a thing. Is it just for appearence purposes or something?

Probably for the purpose of lighting up the road more at night.
I leave my fogs on all the time for that reason.

for those who live where there is no fog it helps a ton on dark roads like me i live in a town with absolutly no street lights, the fogs on with the highs help light up the sides of the road and right in front of me as well as far away

The one I went to was for one. I have a friend that owns a machine shop that said he can make them for me. After I get them I may make a few.

I think I read somewhere that it was illegal to run fogs with high beams. I may be mistaken though or it may just be just some states.

Yep, possibly everywhere. Here in California you can not use fog lights unless it is foggy... How's that for stupid?

I still use my fog lights on local streets after dark. It lights up the side of the road nicely, great for cats, dogs and rug rats.

LOL I saw this thread title and instantly thought, "How to rice out your truck"

There are a few under $100 mods you can do that are tasteful and can improve the truck. Most though is just, "lets throw on as much **** i can from jcwhitney and pepboys"
