what should my next mod be?

I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions for an inexpensive upgrade to the truck might be.

Here is a list of what I have done so far: 2.5" Hell Bent Steel Level Kit, Gotts Intake Mod, Edge Programmer Level 2, 50% tinted front windows (its MN law 50%), Outland Chrome Bull Bar, Black Projector Halo Headlights, T-Rex Billet Grill, Chrome Bed Rails, LED Tails and 3rd Brake Light, 18" OEM Chrome Clad Rims, Nitto Terra Grapplers, window vents.

WHAT NEXT???? Not looking to break the bank, but want to upgrade somehow.

So far, ideas include, white LED underbody lights for the duration of the unlock mechanism when entering and exiting the truck, tailgate turn and back up LED strip, maybe some ambient lighting in the cab under the dash?

that wouldnt be a bad idea a strip across the windshield! My dad did that with his f150, he brags about how daring he was, it goes alot lower than the legal limit, kind of distracting actually, but he's a rebel like that! How much do they cost?????

I'm open to any other suggestions!

Save up for another toy to spend money on mods ;D Like a bike to put in the back bed. I think that would look nice.

I already have that actually and its cost me just as much in aftermarket accessories and mods! I could use a bike ramp though.
