Best Mod for under $50?

I'm not sure if this is a repeat post, or if I saw it on ih8mud.com for Cruizers, but I'm curious to see the best cheap mods/enhancements you've done to your 4Runners.

Let's see 'em!

There are lots of things you can do fairly cheaply, but hands down my favorite is the Simple Horn Mod!

Front and rear differential breathers, Fiamm Horns, Hitch Shackle, Silverstars, Painted taillights (my next mod), OME Steering Damper ($70 or so), YotaTech decals, rear facing fog lights...

That's all I can think of that I've done for under $50 each.

A power inverter is a great thing to carry in your rig. They go for about 30 bucks at walmart.

I work in a local meat market and 10 lbs. of Filet Mignon would cost almost 200 dollars.....we sell it at 19.99 a pound, which is cheaper than the 22.99 a pound it was last year.
I eat it for free

I like the gray wire mod.For the guys that have the rear locker it allows you to use the locker when ever you want to.Insted of just 4lo.It was probably my easiest mod and it didn't cost nothing. Although I did find a guy on e bay trying to sell the mod.

Deckplate mod, ISR mod, Type O TB gasket mod, rear diff breather mod, gray wire 2WD locker-on mod...all together less than $50.

My second choice would be my exhaust, which was $52 (I know, a tad over). To hear it, click on my sig.
