Welded some fog lights to my rear bumper and hooked them up to my reverse lights.

The two best cheap mods I've done to my truck are:
1) installing a switch for the radio, so that it comes on with the ignition or with the flip of the switch the radio comes on without the key. Super simple mod and well worth it!! Just need a very minimal understanding of electricity, a single pole double throw switch and a little wire. Very easy. Sorry no pics

2)Mounting my hi-lift jack in the bed of the truck.
With 2 pieces of ply wood, 2 large carriage bolts, 4 washers, some scrap rubber, 2 fender washers and 2 even larger "washers", some round stock steel and a little welding or brazing.
I don't have any pics of the back side, but the Ply wood is behind the inner bed panel to strengthen ands stiffen the panel. The carriage bolt is "Sunk" in the wood and inserted through a hole in the bed panel.

With a fender washer and nut to keep the stud in place. Then the scrap rubber was installed as a dampener and spacer

The with the welded nut combo removed (pictured in place without the jack), the jack can be slid onto the stud and secured to the truck with the welded nut. The round stock is bent to create a loop, allowing the permanent storage of a shovel.

And with a link of chain welded to the shovel (or a hole drilled through it) a lock can be used to keep the Jack and shovel securely locked to the truck. There are two studs in the bed, one in the front and one in the rear. Both have the same type of welded loops to hold both the jack and shovel. And with the shovel installed, the nuts can never back off because they are captured, also with the install of a lock, the shovel continues to protect the jack from being stolen because the nuts can not be removed without 1st removing the lock and shovel. (I know the lock I have on it is cheesy, but it works)
