    I know every Tundra owner has done some sort of mod, so now the question is, whats the best mod you've done that's cost under $50. We're always talking about wheels, tires, lifts, grills, etc. But what about those cheap mods that you've come to love? I'd love to hear what you guys have done.

    I'm pretty sure there's a thread already. Maybe the thread was for less than $100.

    Awesome. I'm like a kid on Christmas eve waiting to wake up and go get my truck.....I've spent to much time here lurking, but couldn't do anything because I didn't have a tundra yet LOL. So glad to be in a Tundra and can't wait to waste all my free time here

    Interior LED lights off Amazon for less than $10. They're cheap but they are way better than stock.

    LED bed light strips for $25.99. Use that one almost every day.

    JDM ASTAR reverse lights for $22.99

    Cargo Steel V-Rings that utilize the bolts in the bed for $9'ish.

    PlastiDip the stupidest thing Toyota engineers have done, the plastic chrome cup holder trim and the chrome around the shifter.

    Center console organizer from Salex, and the random center console cover I found on Amazon. Another good one that’s not exactly a “sexy” mod is the rear diff breather. Easy to do and good insurance.

    Plastidip front grill, mirror caps. Vinyl wrap wood looking (WTF) interior trim pieces. LED light for bed. Adjustable cargo bar with net, since its a grocery getter. Blue Thunder 7500k super white bulbs for headlights and fogs. That's about it for under $50. For a decent deal you can replace shifter, color match handles and mirrors, add a driver side Oh Sh@t handle, tint window. It all adds up though, I'm in total denial of the overall cost of mods I've done so far, and it was already lifted when I bought it so that saved about 4 or 5k.
