Default Homemade/Garage mods

Ok I'm a fabricator And love building my own stuff. I'm looking for ideas on stuff I can make by hand to add to the truck. Let's see what kind of garage mods you all have done. Only rule is no professionally made mods so if you work for smittybuilt or any company that makes addon equipment you'll have to sit this one out. I want others to be able to make what you made! (to the best of their ability)

if you can weld and bend pipe, you can make a nice light bar.

I made one about 15 years or so ago for a welding class project. Put it on my 83 F250. It was more of a roll bar than anything, being as how I was a broke high-school student, I couldn't afford to put any lights on it.
