Trucks to reliable, mods !?

Hi all, i have a toyota hilux, and being a toyota, it isnt broken, as a result im bored. i love to tinker with things to make them better but my truck is all working
so my question is, are there any free or cheap mods or things i can do in my garage to make my truck better offorad or just to keep me amused?
iv already replaced all the lights in my dash to LED's, tightend up my shifter, stopped every single rattle in the cab and re-painted all the dings and installed a whole new stero aswell and re-painting the shocks. and i am still bored.
any suggestions?
Thanks

Remove the front sway bar it's free and it gives your control arms more travel. Or put a deckplate in your airbox I got mine for under $3 cuz I just used a coupling but I think the actual deckplate price runs about 10$ works the same tho. there's pics and little bit of info about installing one on my build-up if your at all interested.

1. You could go wheel it, i'm sure something could always break
2. I see in your sig line it says "turbo diesel 2.8 (in progress)", which to me sounds like a boat load of work.
